Raimo Defends Two Platoon Era and T Form Advantage
Villanova coach Art Raimo argues modern players cannot sustain 60 minute top speed in today's two platoon game. He praises the T-formation quarterback as the lone 60 minute exception and says the system and two platoons boost speed and reduce injuries. He cites Bill Hegarty as a potential 60 minute athlete and notes teams need fresh players for efficiency.
