I truly understand what Coach Knight is getting at and I commend him for it. Make the kids accountable. Good points!!!

[quote name="BellBiz30" post="1184471" timestamp="1330098511"] Is strength of schedule a major contributor to the success of a high school basketball team? If so, what determines whether or not a team has played a strong schedule? [/quote]I think one way you can determine is by the team talent and the margin of victories you are blowing by these teams.

[quote name="Dove Hunter" post="1184505" timestamp="1330100080"] I thought once dove washed his hands of the HF program he would move on to more sophisticated schools, worthy of his children, not poor pitiful HF??  And to answer your question about having a poor record, coach Price could say overbearing parents that undermine the coaches and programs keep the kids too distracted from what should be their goals of school pride and success not self grandiose.  What you think dove would that work with the hiring committee?? [/quote] Thanks Dove Hunter, you are one of few who has answered my question as to how he would have addressed the hiring committee, with his 3-17 record.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1184365" timestamp="1330086064"] So, Somebody explain to me, truthfully, what the 'drama' was about, not a 'I HATE BISD' rant. [/quote]WOW! Haven't been keeping up with this situation but I truly see what you are saying here. 

And explain why you think it is the best job.

Titans gonna have bring their AAA+  to win this one. Playing against (3) major D-1 talents along with some good D-1 mid-major talent on one team. Gonna be tough.

No nail biters. "Just do what it do."

I think it helped the program. I saw a lot of kids from all over who didn't lift and I think it hindered them from not being stronger during competition. Grade: A+

First, congrats to HF. I think the game was there for the Indians taking but the HF fans have exposed our glaring weakness on this thread. It says volumes about the state of a program when your opponent calls out your lack of coaching. I mean they are the ones benefiting and still saw it necessary to make the observation. I'm glad you did because I have referenced it more than once on here. If you attended that game you could only wonder why this particular individual would be incharge of such a talented program. A talent pool that has existed for well over the last decade. Its time for a change and for this coaching era to come to an end for the sake of the program and the present teams near future. I know the man personally and he is a fine individual but that has nothing to do with coaching the game of basketball. It not personal, its just business. I would like to thank and congratulate the Indians for a great season. I think its only going to get better. Good luck HF the rest of the way. [/quote]Whoa dere Indian! Haven't your past years and prior teams been very successful? Iknow time flies fast but I seem to remember last year or two, you've done well in basketball. [u][b]Agreed, you do have a history of floundering in the playoffs[/b][/u]. [/quote]... only when they run into that meat-grinder called "[size=10pt][b]21-3A[/b][/size]"! But to your questioning the Indians' past greatness - They been rated in the top 4 (or 5) at least twice in the last 3 years and have never made it to Regionals.  I'd say that's a little disappointing.  I think that's what Indian may be referring to. [/quote]My bad! Thats what I get for hanging around[s] Nederland[/s] oopps!people who think winning district  is the major goal

I told yall Nash is having a bad month. ;)

Funny thing, you shouldn't be bitter. You are the one that transfered your kids to Ozen while staying behind in Hamshire. ;) [/quote]oH, and trust me Aggie, I'm not bitter about about them playing JV.

What would a coach say to get a 4-A JOB  coming from a 3-17 record, in 3-A? oKAY, even if he includes his older records, what would one say to *excuse* his 3-17 record? Its a legit question.

[/quote] Absolutely...Must be tested by one of the area's best (coaches) in order to prepare for the grueling district race....Plus I wouldn't want Dove to say I scheduled a bunch of cupcakes in the preseason to boost the record.... ;D ;D...Plus a trip or two to the Houston area to make it a bit tougher.. ;) [/quote]Yep, ya gotta get out of S.E.Texas to get my respect  and don't schedule cupcake teams off Hwy 146 North ;D
