[/quote] Seriously? [/quote] Yes, seriously. [/quote] If Iowa State or Baylor meet Kansas in the NCAA tournament, who is the favorite? Or if Florida State plays North Carolina or Duke in the tourney, who's the favorite? [/quote]Someone ain't recovered from Bourbon Street

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1186350" timestamp="1330306016"] I hate to debate on here actually....its pointless....and according to your avatar you're from Vidor, so arguing with you about sports would be even worse...Have you guys ever won in ANYTHING?  :o [/quote] ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks ;)

[quote name="stevenash" post="1186409" timestamp="1330309932"] Absolutely not coincidental.  Those two young men had no size and ability whatsoever and if they had not been coached by a particular individual, they would not have made it to the NBA because no other coach has that ability.  Just as an aside, I have a very close physician friend who grew up in Port Arthur and knows the basketball scene very very well.  He told me about a player from that area who was a high school All American whom he recently observed rummaging through a dumpster.  Maybe the thought of that concerned the young man who transferred to Vidor. [/quote]LOL! Wow! I was with one of those former NBA players [color=red]tonite[/color] in Houston. And trust me, he didn't look like he had been digging out of a dumpster.

[quote name="vp32" post="1186308" timestamp="1330300960"] If there was no transfer rule yates would suck.  8) Just thought i would jump in on this conversation.  8) yall have fun. Go Pirates! [/quote]Wait a minute, lets no bring up that Vidor transfer from last year ;D

Thanks! Now, how did they defend HF? Obviously they had a game plan to stop Malveaux.

[quote name="baddog" post="1186093" timestamp="1330271022"] Exactly [/quote] :-\ Exactly what :-\

The shot was good but darn close. Classic buzzer beater...wow

Like I said, parents out there love this stuff, go Knight ;)

[quote name="baddog" post="1186081" timestamp="1330269910"] Actually, a magnet school is supposed to play under the classification of the largest school in the city......dude. [/quote]Dog, stay off the sauce ;D

You are trying to change the subject. This is NOT about any individual team. This is about 20-4a NOT being the worst 4A district in the state as you boldly claimed. Everyone knows you said it, now you are attempting to deter the conversation. Not gonna happen. I'm going to celebrate, good night!  ;) Hey, I'm not mad at u, DV, and I don't disagree about Yates being all that, bc I know they are... I have no problem admitting that. [/quote] Great Point NB-Dawg!!  Go Look at Yates District from top to bottom and tell me if that distict is any good?! HISD teams arent as good anymore cause all there good basketball players move to Yates. No balance in Talent, Just Yates!!!!      Playoff Teams Remaining Counter:  20-4A:[b] 3[/b]    21-4A:[b] 1[/b] [/quote]Yates district is weak. Inner city Houston districts are weak. All the talent is not at Yates. The majority of Houston talent is in the suburbs and a few private schools, not Yates. Yates has a system that works and a many players like it.

[quote name="baddog" post="1186072" timestamp="1330268484"] Smeone already bragged about how Yates is beating the syatem. Yep NCAA guidelines are not as manipulative as UIL..... ::). Funny how that's the only point of my post you addressed. Let's see......if I believe someone is cheating to win, then I can assume they muster up some integrity when it comes to everything else? That's nothing personal, just common sense. [/quote]Dude, Yates is not cheating! They are playing within the UIL rules. If my kid is a major D1 prospect and in the 8th grade, playing and living in Humble ISD, I set up residency in Yates zone to meet UIL rules. Thereby being able to play varsity as a 9th grader. Yates has not broken any rules. If my kid attends and plays in CY Fair district as a high school and transfers to Yates, he plays for JV for a calendar year. Still within UIL rules. If my kid attends another HISD SCHOOL and plays varsity, in fact the leading scorer on the team, and decides to transfer to Yates. Oh yeah, his grandmother lives in Yates' district and he moves back for financial hardship. Guess what, he is playing JV.  Wise will visit and walk around during the summer tournaments,  and its a good PR for him. People approach him ;)

Okay, can anyone focus on the game and give a report?

[quote name="baddog" post="1186047" timestamp="1330264033"] Well, it is pretty easy for those who have problems figuring it out. Why don't 5A/6A schools play 1A schools? Even some 5A schools complain about huge enrollment schools having an advantage. Yates keeps their enrollment figures down to play 4A just like some schools I know, but let's talk about how great and smart they are. Probably fudge grades too. [/quote]Smart? Many of their kids are going D-1. Gotta make good grades to meet NCAA guidelines. That personal attack won't fly.

DV  you wanna go first or me?

I challenge anyone on here to explain in detail how Wise recruit his players to Yates. Not what you think but what you know ;)

[quote name="monotone" post="1185658" timestamp="1330196377"] I don't exactly know what they did but was it really that much worse than the fans singing na-na-na goodbye with a minute left on the clock? [/quote] ???

Actually the media does more recruiting for Yates ;)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1185527" timestamp="1330182815"] Lets see if we can beat Kingwood park then we'll have to face the music (Yates).  I'm pretty sure Wise and co. Will be the ones waiting for the KP/Central winner. [/quote]Just enjoy the experience. Many never do because they run from tough opponents.

Coach Saveat and his team came thru big time in the 4th qtr.

oh oh, its going national........ Its blowing up. Work the press b-a-b-yyyyy (in my Dickie Vitale voice).

It looks good to parents who are thinking about sending their kids off to school and making that decision about schools and the coach. Its a two -way street. Coaches need kids with character to help keep their jobs and parents are looking at coaches to see whose gonna take care of their babies ;D

[quote name="WeedBegone" post="1184772" timestamp="1330117476"] IMO this is a great recruiting video for LAMAR.  Good exposure nationally with the message  we are looking for good leadership to win championships.  LAMAR no longer willing to settle for less---period. The few games I have been two for the last several seasons was not the kind of team LAMAR deserves.  Lets let this guy turn it around. [/quote]I was kinda thinking along the same lines with you. Great recruiting tool.

He only coached 5 games this year. [/quote] Say what u will about Coach DiCeollo he is a good basketball coach.Better than most in THE AREA. [/quote] When you define a good coach, wouldn't one of the qualities be that he is capable of attaining his objectives while conforming to school policy? [/quote]Nash is coming back to his old self again. Welcome back ol' friend ;D [/quote] Now that you and Dicky have let up a little on Nederland, I am able to better organize my thoughts. [/quote]LOL!
