Coach Phillips has spoken at several clinics throughout the east coast on a wide variety of topics associated with the Wing-T offense.  His teams have been known to have great success running the Jet Sweep from multiple formations that also includes a complimentary run game and play action passing package.  Presently he is utilizing a balanced single wing approach that was introduced to him by Apopka, FL head football coach Rick Darlington and he also has most recently installed a Diamond formation that allows him to get his three best running backs on the field at one time.
