This is the part of Coach Ready that does not come from data. It is the program's own playbook material, terminology and coaching rules, structured so the system can reason in the staff's language: what the call is for, when it gets called, who is responsible for what, what a player reads, what beats it, and where the rule stops applying. Every concept keeps the original wording and the page it came from, and nothing is treated as settled until a coach says it is.
