BTW, if what I hear is true, DeCello is in a heap of trouble! [/quote]I could write a best-seller ;)

Those kids deserve a spot for district playoff.

[quote name="Horns89" post="1140558" timestamp="1323172205"] Good Luck Coach Neal!!! I am sure he will do a good job. As for the other guy I hope the best for his son and feel sorry that he has to be moved again because of what his dad has done. There is no place for this in any school district. [/quote]100% agree

[quote name="dawg13" post="1140539" timestamp="1323149534"] BLUE DOVE, WHY WOULD YOU BE GLAD TO SEE HIM COACHING.I JUST HOPE WE HAVE SOME ONE ELSE IN MIND AND THIS IS NOT LONG TERM. [/quote] Its only a short term solution for now. I could think of "others" who could have been appointed from the middle school.

Glad to see Coach Neal run the program.

Guys enough of the excuses please-eeee! ;D

Did anyone see Lufkin play? They advanced far into the tournament. I was not impressed with that team. To me, they were not a good team.

I did hear about the William(son?) brothers @ Vidor. Saw one a couple of years ago. he was good

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1140341" timestamp="1323121780"] It will come out.  Also has nothing to do with his coaching or his coaching style!!! [/quote]True..read your PM

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1140343" timestamp="1323121908"] Just got conformation during his vidor coaching stint... they beat central and nearly beat perkins and company [/quote]WOW!

[/quote] LOL! Let 5gallonbucket dream

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1140207" timestamp="1323110152"] anybody who can turn vidor into a winning basketball team (english) can [size=18pt][b]COACH[/b][/size]  bottom line. [/quote]So Vidor was pretty bad at one time, from what I am hearing?

[quote name="Ricthepic" post="1140225" timestamp="1323111117"] Hate it for the basketball program at HF. Hope things turn out well for Coach Decello [/quote]Me too! And just when things were turning around for the program. [s] But I can see some[/s] [s]haters getting ready to glow[/s]..ooops! Sorry, I should not bring up .... rumors not allowed.

[quote name="Horns89" post="1140186" timestamp="1323108416"] Sorry none of your facts are the reason he might get fired. [/quote]Thats not what I meant. I know the real reasons why.  ;)

[quote name="Horns89" post="1140182" timestamp="1323108078"] Dove none of your facts are correct. [/quote]So, no players have quit the team?????

[quote name="KHSAlum400" post="1140169" timestamp="1323105842"] So H-F didn't like his Bobby Knight coaching style?  ??? Oh well. Smh. [/quote]Can't discuss the rumors yet. So I stick to the facts ;)

[quote name="momma23" post="1140166" timestamp="1323105561"] Thanks Dove! [/quote] I'm debating if I want to continue saying cause I don't want HJ peeps to think I'm getting soft on them, [s] but I have much respect for Shawn's game.[/s]. Nevamind, I deleted it  ;D ;D

[quote name="momma23" post="1140161" timestamp="1323104836"] Top Dawg, Prudomme is my cousin. He is 18 and 18 only.Please find something more constructive to do with your time besides making assumptions, and stop drinking Prudhommehaterade, it causes  grand delusions of knowledge with no truth to it at all !!!!! LMBO! [/quote]Whew! Just think if this was his momma! Yall better leave these kids alone. They have mommas, and will PROTECT their own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yo Shawn, you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. I do see much improvement in your game. And thats what players should be striving for; improvement each year they compete

The girl can play in that district.

FACT#1: We do know there are some upset HF parents upset about his coaching style and how he talks to players FACT#2: Players have quit the team FACT #3: New coach has produced some wins early in the season. Has winning attitude FACT #4: Has not shown any favoritism towards players

[quote name="ispeakjive" post="1139597" timestamp="1323035063"] Blue Dove: I'm sure your kids are great players.  That seems to be the consensus of everyone that has seen them play.  What I can't understand is your incessant downplaying of Nederland's basketball program.  I know you think that any program not built by AAU types and "free agents" doesn't deserve any credit, but Coach English has built a strong program from scratch without blue chip talent.  This is not a flash in the pan anymore.  This program is going on 4 strong years now and it's coming from the grass roots.  No one puts them in the class of historically strong programs like Ozen, Central, HJ, Silsbee (or Hamshire Fannett) yet, but they are clearly emerging.  I can't help but wonder what is really behind your seeming hatred for Nederland basketball?  [/quote] I've been saying for a couple of years now that Coach English has his program moving in right direction. I use to see him in Houston getting his kids ready. Playing against different teams and players so his kids would be familiar and learn new things. Now you see the growth.

The key to focus on is how are the  brackets set up and to whose advantage.

True dat! :D
