The wishbone offense got its name because of the way it looks when diagrammed. In the wishbone offense the backfield is shaped like an inverted Y (or a "wishbone from a turkey", get it? ) : TE/WR_____LT LG C RG RT______TE/WR ______________QB ______________FB ___________RB_____RB (please forgive the lines, I didnt know how else to space the positions apart. Tab wouldn't work.)
I'm pretty sure it was Phil Jackson's mentor tex winter
The Run and Shoot is the oldest form of todays spread offense. Ron Waller used the Run and Shoot offense with the World Football League (WFL) Philadelphia Bell in 1974 before Mouse Davis started coaching at Portland State in 1975.
The letter Y has a wishbone shape.
A "Y" shaped bone in a turkey and some other animals that is played with by two people trying to pull the bone, and whoever has most of the bone after it breaks is the winner.

Wishbone suspension?
As far as I can tell, NO college football team currently uses the wishbone offensive scheme. Oklahoma, under Barry Switzer, made the wishbone a legitimate, winning offensive formation in the 70's. Navy runs the triple-option veer formation....though it is still a far cry from the wishbone, it does have its similarities.
Wishbone, waivers, wildcat formation, west coast offense and walk-on are football terms.
