Should your talent level be the deciding factor what you run or should all players adapt to the "system"? [/quote] Man, you trying to start mess  ;) Your system should be based on your talent, not just play in a system because thats whats comfortable.

WOW! I'm not much of a track person but his form sure did look good.

Texas better step it up. They recruited a couple of bigs with no hands nor the footwork last year. Late bloomers probably. No guards in the top 100.

Ahhhh! Two weeks Dickie V. Your annual "dance with the devil" begins. You can't just keep dancing with your body. Let your mind go free too...... Dickie, not sure how feasible it would work or the time involved for you. But it might would be interesting to give some highlights

[quote name="coachacola" post="1390497" timestamp="1364830532"] The MWC has a ton of WAC schools.  The Big East has a ton of CUSA schools.  CUSA has a ton Sun Belt schools.  The Sun Belt has a ton of SLC schools.  Give it time, I bet we'll see both LU and SHSU in the Sun Belt in a few years.  But the more conferences change, the more they stay the same. [/quote] That was my point earlier. All the top teams moving out and the lesser teams thought they were moving into a "better" conference

I think "Butch" Stadium in Beaumont needs a basketball facility added on  ;D

I think this is one of DV's greatest values. He has the contacts and know the Greater Houston area. I doubt if any Bmt. kids are at Mid Western.

Would be better if they had a shoe contract. The owner's son is with a team that is....

High school is good because it keeps the kids in the gym on a regular basis and keeps them active. Personally. I don't see the commitment from a lot of kids to get better. High school and the same for AAU does not afford the time for individual development, never has in my opinion. Today, kids are more interested in going to the next level.  The biggest difference today is that many  players  get their recognition and college scholarships  away from the high school environment. I'm just not sure if the high schools will ever be given the power. Does not look like it.

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1389484" timestamp="1364415914"] all i got on Vidor was something in 2010 that i googled and it said 14.5% were below the poverty line. But anyways, has this new coach met with his team yet? is he gonna keep the same schemes they were using? same staff?? [/quote]Vidor probably doesn't have enough money to report new poverty guidelines.

If an individual player (lets leave out post players) score 50 plus points, would that be considered a ball hog or just having the open shots?

[quote name="bcjag10" post="1389473" timestamp="1364414342"] I Googled and found: Beaumont poverty rate: residents below 33.6%.  above 68.5% Port Arthur Tx.            : residents below 30.8%.  above 60.1% I couldn't find anything on Nederland and Pn-g or Vidor [/quote]They probably could not see the differences in the boundary lines between Nederland, PN-G & Vidor.  ;D
