I want to install an offense based on the wing T hole numbering system (straight across), but with all the players flipping along with the direction the numbers run, instead of 100/900 formations -- simple and easy enough -- but with the ability to play guard-over formations (only the pulling/weak guard over) while making it as easy as possible for the players to remember their assignments when the same play can be run with either a balanced or unbalanced line.
So let's assume they learn 1-9 easily enough (right to left with no formation tag; left to right with "flip" tag) and then we add guard over. Both guards are then on the wing side. Holes 1-4, no problem. But then should the inside (pulling) guard (or the gap between that guard and the snapper) be called position 6 or 5? And then the snapper keeps 5 or becomes 6?
Does it depend on whether your backfield or line players are smarter, better able to adjust their assignment as the geometry changes? On guard trap, the puller's crossing the snapper no matter what, and the runner's path is over the snapper, while the tackle is still releasing inside and trying not to hold up a defender on him, so it doesn't look like it matters there. But calls to 7 look problematic.
And then what if we go "guard over, ends over", where "ends over" means the TE and SE switch sides but stay as tight or split as they were before switching?
My first question is are 9 monuments even necessary?
Sweep....off tackle....dive....would be 6.
I always got a kick out the DWnuts discussing hole numbering when the difference between a 5 and a 6 hole is about half a hairy butt cheek.😎 I think its McCrea that uses the @ man ( at man ) method which seems more clear when things become unclear if that helps.
Trap @ 4.....Trap @6....etc.
What is beautiful, lives forever.

Each might come into play some time. If I teach "butt to the ball" or "head in the hole" blocking steps, they'll need to know whether that's to the right or left of them, which can be a difference of just 1 hole number, with holes between the OL. If I teach the runner that a certain OL's butt points the way, in this case you're numbering the OL rather than the spaces between them, and it'll be a difference of 1 that matters.
There will be numbers that may never get used, but do you think it'll be any easier for the kids to remember by my eliminating one or more of those numbers and reducing the count? Or even for the coaches to remember?
An example of my dilemma is that since I'm going to have only one pulling guard (who flips), from a balanced line all traps were going to be "25" calls, and if we play guard over then logically the snapper would keep the "5" number though the guard is pulling from the opposite direction, because we're not going to trap the next over past the other guard -- the idea that if we're going unbalanced it's to have different DL attacked from the ones the DL is used to, else their adjustment would be too easy. (If the DL doesn't shift over, we're not attacking that with trap!) But if belly is on with guard over, will the players be more, or less, confused if the number increases by 1?
