I read a few weeks ago on the Spin Channel about an end over end shotgun snap. Brad Scott from the Spin Channel calls it the West Virginia snapping technique. And, in Jan 2009 AFM issue Schutt Football is running an advertisement editorial called, The Little Things, and Bill Powers, Head Coach, Jupiter High School in Florida [...]
