Pete Carril, Engineer of the ‘Princeton Offense,’ Was Decades Ahead of His Time

Posted Sep 19, 2022
Pete Carril was born in Bethlehem, in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, in 1930 to a father who had emigrated from Spain to work in the steel mills. A coal yard across the street served as young Pedro’s childhood playground. First in high school, then at Lafayette, he played run-and-gun, the furthest style possible from what he would become known for as a coach. (Sports Illustrated)
