Judge Yates on more than point total by Richard Justice, Chron.com He grew up in the Third Ward, a few miles from Yates High School. Basketball opened doors. “It got me an education,†Greg Wise said. “I couldn't afford college without basketball. After college, I wanted to stay involved. Coaching was a natural progression.†He loves his job as the boys basketball coach at Yates High School in a way we'd all like to love our jobs. He loves winning, loves practice, loves it all. But he also loves the part that has nothing to do with basketball. “I feel like I'm as good as anybody in terms of preparing them for life,†he said. He and his brother Billy were raised by a single mom who taught school and emphasized school work, responsibility and discipline. “The first thing I want for our kids is to be able to go to college, if not on a basketball scholarship, on an academic ride, or we'll find whatever avenue we can to get them in,†he said. He ticks off the three players — Darius Gardner, Joseph Young and Brandon Peters — that already have scholarships and goes through three or four more — Elton Roy, Alex Davis, etc. — he believes will land them. “I want them to go there prepared for the things they have to do to graduate,†he said. “They're not going to quit. They understand the things they have to do. My guys realize that hard work is an avenue to succeed.†He played at Houston Baptist when the Rockets used it as a practice facility and has vivid memories of Calvin Murphy and Robert Reid, Moses Malone and Rudy Tomjanovich. “Work ethic,†he said. “Those guys had amazing talent, but what I remember is how hard they worked.†Other NBA teams practiced there, too. “It's funny the things you remember,†he said. “I can still see John Havlicek running in place while the coach was talking. He had so much energy he couldn't stand still.†And Julius Erving. “When you see the best players in the world work as hard as those guys worked, it stays with you,†he said. “It teaches you what it's supposed to be about.†That's why his practices are so fast, so intense. That's why he pushes his teams to smother opponents on both ends of the floor. When they're playing well — and they're 55-1 the last two seasons — they're a thing of beauty. “Let me tell you what I do two of three times a week,†Yates principal Ronald Mumphery said. “For my relaxation, I go watch them practice. The best way to watch is get in the corner and look. You get to see what he's doing. He's coaching lanes. He's teaching kids where to be. And that's where they are.†Wise smiles upon hearing this. “It took two years for us to get to moving on our press the way we need to,†he said. “Right now, our guys don't have think when we're fastbreaking. We just know what to do.†Maybe you heard Yates beat Lee 170-35 a few weeks ago. Maybe you've heard some unkind things about Greg Wise and his program. Maybe you've heard Wise lacks class, that while he may be teaching his kids basketball, he's not teaching them much about sportsmanship. ‘Could have scored 250' At Yates, they're furious at how they've been portrayed around the country. They feel like people have focused on one score without understanding the circumstances. He used 15 players in the first quarter of the 170-point game, but early in the second half, there was a hard foul, and words were exchanged. Referees ordered all the bench players into the stands and told the two coaches to finish the game with the players they had on the floor. “Believe me, we could have scored 250 points that night,†he said. “We didn't run up the score.†His boss is steadfast in his defense of his coach. “We didn't run up the score,†Mumphery said. “We've gotten hate mail from all over the United States. I got one this morning indicting me because he works for me. I've heard that our kids are degenerates, that our coach is a moron. “He's a man of character, and that's something you can see him passing onto the young men. He expects his kids to follow the rules and be good students. Four of those kids have over 3.0 averages. But no one is talking about that.†Yes, but 170 points is unusual. “This is an unusual team,†he said. Wise said he has done a lot of thinking about 170-35, and if he had it to do all over again, he might do things differently. Considering Yates beat Austin 147-57 on Tuesday, he wouldn't do things that much differently. “That game cast the kids in a negative light, and they've done two years of great things,†he said. “To have them presented that way bothers me. They're about hard work and winning. People that watch us love the way we play, love the way we behave. From my standpoint, all of Houston should be behind them.†Still … “I feel like in hindsight there may have been things we could have done,†he said. “But they were fouling hard, and our kids are not going to back down.†That's as close to an apol-ogy as you're going to get. Team's behavior lauded Winning by 170-35 has distorted what Wise sees as the real story of basketball at Yates. “After we flew to Hawaii, I got a letter from a teacher on the plane,†Wise said. “She said we were the best behaved group of young men she'd ever been around. We heard from the Continental flight grew. They said our kids were great. One of the Nike executives said he was proud of the way we play, but he was more proud of the way we handle ourselves.†His problem is that four of the seven teams in his district can't compete with Yates, and the scores are going to get out of hand. But he can't prepare his team for the playoffs if the starters don't play deep into games. “Against Davis, no starter played more than 17 minutes,†he said. “I don't feel our kids are in the shape they should be because of the minutes they're playing. “In our mind, we want to prove we're the best team in the country. People say teams are going to be coming at us. We see to it that we're the ones coming at them.â€

[font=Courier]When Ozen & Central play a home game and it's not against each other (Ozen v. Central), they bring in refs from other chapters. They are wasting a ton of money. When you use another chapter for your varsity game, the local chapter will not send subvarsity officials.[/font]

[font=Courier]Very interesting matchup.... Which 'Cats show up? The ones that fought tooth and nail with H-J and Silsbee or the 'Cats that struggled with H-F? Regardless, starter Zach Hayes will not play due to injury, which makes this Bayou game more interesting. An OField loss would mean they would have to sweep WO-S for the 3rd spot (considering they lose to H-J and Silsbee).[/font]
