I challenge the OP to explain the difference between pro style and west coast.
People throw these terms around and don't even know what they mean. Pistol is a formation, not an offense. The spread has been around for quite a while, just never been popular. Hell the zone read has been around for almost 20 years now.

ok i apologize for the confusion
west coast: it is a passing control offense. They run short, quick high percentage passes. This means that there does not need to be extra blockers (ex. the RB or the TE) and allows more receivers to go out
Pro Style: Ususally lined up in the Ace or I formation, this is a more balanced offense required in the O line to be able to run as well as pass block. The QB must be a game manager, and the RB must be able to run through the tackles.
very similar offenses and could be put in the same category. I have always thought of them as different. I apologize

The west coast offense is a type of pro style offense...
