There's nothing 'technically' about it. An RPO can be double option or a triple option. The play has three options so it's a triple option play. Urban Meyer considered it a triple option play when he started using it at Utah. Not sure why anyone would have any issues with calling it what it is.
Yeah, this is a circular argument about semantics and what the meaning of 'is' is. It's like we need this translation icon on our avatar.
"V" = When I say option, I am always referring to the veer formation triple option as run by Paul Johnson
"R" = When I say option, I am always referring to the shotgun formation play with a single back where the QB
quickly either hands the ball off to the back or throws it downfield.
"W" = When I say option, I am always referring to the shotgun formation play with a single back where the QB
slowly either hands the ball off to the back or throws it either downfield or wide.
"O" = When I say option, I am always referring to the general concept of making a play read post-snap, no matter from what formation, how quickly or if it is a run option or a pass option
"X" = When I say option, I am always referring to any 'uncool' offense that, no matter how much it wins, will be dumped on by Twitter Influencers
"S" = When I say option, I mean anything that could be considered a 'scheme' offense where you can win by recruiting all 2* athletes that fit your scheme
Then we can go with combos.
For instance, I would be O2X3, meaning I'm talking about any two-choice post-read play
or sometimes doing something so uncool as having three choices! Gasp!
