Then again there is no formal definition of grasshopper, butterfly or other insect-based drive. IMO, they're all just derivatives of the Armadillo Drive and none of them ever give it credit. To me, "Texas Coast" isn't a subset of Armadillo Drive since they serve 2 different purposes and are designed quite differently.
Am I crazy? Was there one before 2010? My memory is getting bad these days...

Haha, I get your point. It's just a little bit easier to talk about drivetrain styles when you have some specialized vocabulary.
Also, I thought Tex-coast was a few of the
Texas teams feeling left out of the WCD hype train
and they tried to rename butterfly.
