	Option - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most often the term "option" refers to a type of derivative which gives the holder of the option the right but not the obligation to purchase (a "call option") or sell (a "put option") a specified amount of a security within a specified time span.
		European options and American options on stock and bonds are usually considered to be "plain vanilla." Asian options, lookback options, barrier options are often considered to be exotic, especially if the underlying instrument is more complex than simple equity or debt.
		Employee stock options are also widely used as a compensation vehicle for employees and, in particular, senior executives of publicy traded corporations.

	Option offense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic concept of the option is to have a player, typically the quarterback, run with the ball while observing the actions of one or more specific defenders.
		The option style of play is most frequently practiced in Canadian football and non-professional divisions, such as NCAA Division I and high school football.
		However, the option offense is rarely used in the National Football League because defensive players are generally much faster to react and counteract these type of plays and because the quarterback is frequently hit while running the option and few professional teams are willing to risk their multi-million-dollar quarterback in that fashion.

	ESPN.com: NCF - Football 101: Option football (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Option football is unique because this scheme leaves defensive players unblocked at the line of scrimmage and relies on the quarterback to make split-second decisions while the football is in his hands.
		Option offenses can either predetermine who will carry the football or call double- or triple-option plays, relying on the quarterback to make decisions based on how the defense reacts to him.
		Option football run at high level of execution is without a doubt the most difficult thing to defend in college football.

	Basketball Offense triangle: Triangle-corner option
		Now the triangle offense is established on the right side with 5 in the high-post area, 1 in the corner, and 2 who is the trigger man with the ball - what he does next with the ball will dictate the appropriate offensive movement.
		If 1 is having difficulty passing to the wing, he has this option to dribble to either side to begin the offensive movement.
		The corner option then is where 2 passes to 1, 5 then steps up to set a screen on 2's defender, and 2 v-cuts off of 5's screen looking for the pass from 1 for a layup.

		Company directors are forbidden by law from trading in options on shares of their own company.

		Burke said having some options in the UW playbook is helpful for the defense.
		Alvarez said one of the biggest dilemmas presented by the option is finding a scout team that can come close to mirroring the speed that the Bobcats will throw at the Badgers.

		Bellard invented the triple option out of the wishbone formation in the summer of 1968 as an offensive coach at Texas under Royal.
		He was hired to coach linebackers at Texas in 1967 but moved to offense in the spring of 1968.
		But the triple option lives and dies on the decision-making of the quarterback, and Rice senior Greg Henderson has grown into that role.

		Early progenitors of the offense were reluctant to share information, for fear it would be used against them in a game.

		The triple option of today is run basically as it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

		The foundation of the spread option offense is the option run, as Meyer admits.
		The offense is about deception, and the base option play fuels the rest of the scheme because it sets up the passing game and keeps defenses from overpursuing.
		But for this offense to mature, to breathe, Portis has to play three or four series a game (or more) to run the spread option, develop the system's foundation and keep defenses from teeing off on Leak.

		Since the Option is not nearly as visible, Nebraska is by far the overwhelming favorite for these blue collared kids to go to, thus why Nebraska has always flourished with the walk on program, especially in terms of the FB position.
		The properly run option play is designed to keep the ball as close to the Line as possible, causing for a worse case scenario of no gain on the play.

		But ESPN, in their College Football Encyclopedia, presents a different theory: the option exposes the QB to serious injury and can't be sustained.
		They quote Al Saunders (Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator from 2002-2003) as saying that he could run the option in the modern NFL and win, but only if he has 16 QB's because he would be expending one each week.
		With all that said, I think teams are nuts not to employ an option quarterback, and that includes the NFL.
