Jules Yakapovich (1921–1993) was an American football coach and former NFL player for the Detroit Lions.〔(Jules Yakapovich )〕 Born in Tonawanda, New York, he served during World War II as a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant. Yakapovich was head football coach at Kenmore West High School in New York from 1950 to 1976. His undefeated 1969 team was named number-one in the state by the New York State Scholastic Writers Association〔http://www.newyorksportswriters.org/reference/football_polls_part1.shtml〕 and chosen number-one in the nation by the Junior Super Bowl Committee, which at the time published the principal national ranking of high school football. Yakapovich devised the all-standing "radar defense" in which a defender's initial movement is lateral, rather than forward or backward. The radar defense was influential in college football during the 1970s and remains in occasional use in professional American football, such as in the Buffalo Bills-Dallas Cowboys game of October 2007.
