He is definitely a good man. I know pretty well as well.

lmao. you a vidor fan?

[quote name="baseball25" post="1177061" timestamp="1329155285"] well thats a no brainer but you don't have a inside post that can score consistent, you have won over 20 games, you lost 6 games against 4a ranked opponents and 3a ranked opponents, you are doing something right!!! Back up plan against great teams is spread it out and make it a slow tempo type game and mix it up on the defensive of side, Vidor big thing is to not give up 2nd and 3rd chance opportunities on the defensive of side and then they will be ok, vidor has no problem scoring its you got do the little things right to beat great teams and vidor is very very close to doing that. [/quote] Very good point. You hit the nail on the head man lol. And i thought you were a baseball guy lmao.  ;D

I'm not saying that they need to change how they play completely by no means. I love the outside approach because we are good at it and so is allison but every good outside game needs 1 or 2 grind it out players on the inside just incase the outside game isn't there. That's just good coaching. Always have a backup plan in case your first one doesn't work.

Some teams were missing people because of eligibility and such. Can't wait till the Vidor meet. Will Ozen be there?

Vidor does need to change it up some...the outside shot is awesome but not when it's the only thing you use! Vidor has awesome talent underneath with Jones....focus on the team not individuals...JMO!  Good luck Pirates!! [/quote] Yeah we had out other big post (deanna williamson sister of george, jason, jared, and jacob williamson) to a devastating, season ending knee injury. I think it was the ACL. So we've really been looking to training Richmond to help out down there but its hard since she was more like a Jacks player than anything.

[/quote] Actually it depends on what you mean by stand at attention. If the person has military training and/or boy scout training or whatever and they actually know how to stand at attention or at ease then yes that is respectful but if they are just standing tall because they don't feel like raising there hand that yes that is disrespectful. But this is coming from former military and i'm kinda biased and proudful when it comes to stuff like this.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1176860" timestamp="1329105771"] Ozen has a head boys basketball coach...that job is not open. My point is and always was the fact that ALL of the BISD schools have basketball talent.  The bar was set at Ozen 11 years ago, and this year or last they are nowhere near that standard. [/quote] Even though this is hard i have to agree with you on this.

[/quote] I don't worry about small opinions of small people... [/quote] More insults, huh? Why do people that do not have the same opinion that you do have to be deemed "small"? What makes you so much "bigger" than they are? Is your opinion THAT much greater?...( I am saying they, because I am taking me out of that "small people" equation) [/quote] Dickie- Let me give you something to consider when making these "large people" "small people" references.  Whether it is intentional or not, it violates most everyone when they hear you word things in a manner that renders their opinion meaningless as compared to yours.  It does NOT matter one IOTA whether there is validity to that contention or not.  Taking that attitude ( or not taking it but portraying it) will be counterproductive in many avenues of life besides basketball.  Frankly, I am not as troubled by it because I happen to realize what a big basketball world there is out there and NOBODY but NOBODY(including you) has the last word on it. I watched Charles Barkley get on the television a few years ago and "declare" ( in all of his "been there done that" wisdom) that the Cavs would beat Boston and if  somehow they didnt, Orlando definitely would in the conference final. Well his "been there done that" prediction proved worthless as Boston won the Cleveland series in 6 and Orlando wasnt even in the final where Boston beat Detroit in five before beating the Lakers to take it all.  You certainly are entitled to your opinion but you might want to reconsider how you structure your comments.  There are a number of people on this board who have "earned their stripes"( I am not one of them) in the basketball world and for you to suggest that it is somehow less than what you have done makes you look like you are condescending to everyone else.  At this point in your life, you simply are not in a position to condescend. [/quote] I am CERTAIN that you and obviously a few others are reading me all wrong...The "small" reference came from the poster bigdog, when he stated that he is not bothered by "small" people...I simply asked him what makes others opinion "small" and his "big"...As for where I am in my life, I am quite content...Although I have plans to return to the sideline, the fact that I am not there now, BY NO MEANS, indicate that I am any less of a person, or that my knowledge of the game is somewhat diminished.  I don't understand that statement, but lets be clear.  I am not any less today than I was 10 years ago..I am actually better, because I have learned some life lessons, which will make me an even better coach when I return, and more importantly a better person.  I know what I know, and those that don't like that...well thats really not my problem...As I have said before, humility was not always my best quality, but I am working on it daily.. ;) [/quote] You can't come on here and just demand respect and b**** when you don't get it and get called out on stuff.

Please don't underestimate us. We have talent and all it takes is a few slip ups and we can pull an upset.
