[quote name="team first" post="998746" timestamp="1303065766"] Wow, every coaches dream, having parents that know everything...DRAMA, unlike no other, never ending minor problems that make coaching so much fun. Let kids be kids, let coaches coach, sit back and enjoy .Let kids worry about this level, not the next one.It's supposed to be fun! Little Johnny is most likely not at the level you think he is..Most of the time the parents with the least experience in athletics, are the ones that are way over the top, too much into it, and the most clueless of all! Where is the big picture? Don't worry reality is on the way...........very soon! [/quote]Thats why I instill in players to enjoy the moment and have fun now. Take the ride as far as you can go with it. It don't last forever. Good points you make.

[/quote] :D The road still leads through Sour Lake, not Orangefield.

[quote name="dawg13" post="998970" timestamp="1303129831"] Dove i love these outsiders looking in,and for the ones on the inside and not trying to help the situation just be a help not a hinderence to the program,and yes dove boys or special but there has and always been talent at HF.come and join us this summer and help. [/quote]Me too! Can't we all just get along and have the same goals  8)

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="998941" timestamp="1303097576"] Agree, all kids are not equal, but they still have the same workout at school.  I realize it is impossible for you to understand that the real issue that we are talking about is that for a year we have listened all about the dove boys.  I agree that the older one has talent not really anything earth shattering as to when I watched last season as he fouled out early in a conspiracy if i remember correct.   I think that our point has been that since you all have arrived on the scene over there you have done nothing but run down the program, to the point where a coach was lost.  Now, all we hear is how you don't like UOS to the point where now the kid can't(won't) do the workout that the rest of the "athletes"  have to do.  There is no mole, we are going on the info that you are providing.  Before the doves, I will say that no one ever talked about HF bball.  We still don't talk about it just the parents that think that they should run the program a certain way and if they don't then just get a note until the next tournament comes along.  Maybe the reason the other kids are not at open gym is that they did not have a note to walk or chose to participate with their team mates during the workout that the coach had them do and they were tired. [/quote]I said I don't like UOS? I did? Don't think so. You are so correct. Nobdy talked about HF basketball. Very good observation.But look now ;)  Maybe you're getting nervous because HF will dominate Orangefield the next several years. ;)

Nevermind.  ;) [/quote]I think the point being missing is that you grow for the future. Playing Sabine Pass doesn't help a program like HF, with the talent there. Sometimes its not always about winning the game TODAY, but how you finish. HJ fans know ;)

Thats why I gotta report no matter what league HF is playing. A win is a win ;D [/quote] Even if its youth girls on the high school boys board. That's  :D. [/quote]you gotta do what you gotta do to hype HF up :D

Probably wants to get on the recruiting trail with NCAA open periods.

[quote name="team first" post="998907" timestamp="1303093843"] The ring? Lmao just dont get last in district. I know, I know just look at what my 8 grader did in the summer. To bad summer means jack sh it in regards to rings, or for hf 5th in district [/quote]You're correct! But you obviously don't want to see HF fair well :P

[quote name="mfd814" post="998849" timestamp="1303083255"] does HF have off season basketball workouts in Spring?   :) or is this universal off season workouts?   Keep working hard guys.  Dove and Mamma when we gonna see each other at a tournament, seems to keep missing you guys? [/quote]looks like we both are travelling different roads this oseason. YOU Guys have the foreign exchange students. UOS must be working, a kid asked this weekend if my 13 year old was on steroids LOL!

So many on here would hate to see HF unsuccessful.

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="998402" timestamp="1302972729"] HF is in the Orangefield tourney [/quote]HF needs to start playing in tougher tourneys

And the girls are more coachable.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="997774" timestamp="1302888272"] We also have another local player (Silsbee player) who is being recruited by McNeese, SFA, and a couple of other SLC schools, but not Lamar. [/quote]Maybe Knight will reconsider. Historically, most of your local talent trying to play at other schools. Waitng to see what magical offers are out there for them.

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="997682" timestamp="1302880594"] Why doesn't HF play as a team in the summer @ tournaments like Primetime and MAYB?  [/quote]I think some of the players are doing other things they like to do in the summer.

[quote name="stevenash" post="997608" timestamp="1302865778"] Did anybody check the weight room? [/quote] :D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="997505" timestamp="1302825155"] [quote author=hfmom08 link=topic=82787.msg997261#msg997261 date=1302793193] All this talk...i'm ready to see some action...now that HF has named a coach can we start proper preparation to prevent poor performance?  When is open gym?  LET'S GET IT STARTED! [/quote] Well, the gym was open today and only 3 players were in it, all 3 being 2nd team JV players. Where were the rest of them? ::) [/quote]Mine was working out to play this weekend in a tournament.

[quote name="speechless" post="997282" timestamp="1302794455"] I would be willing to bet you could piece together a pretty good Southland team based on talent in this area...just look at the history...maybe down a little right now but this area has produced plenty of talent [/quote]I'm only speaking of the present, not the past ;)

[quote name="hfmom08" post="997268" timestamp="1302793334"] FINGERS CROSSED that the NEW HF Coach will jump on this one. [/quote]I say jump in the fire and lets get this thing started.

[quote name="tamulonghorn" post="997243" timestamp="1302791411"] hmmm....maybe you guys that had your negative responses ought to check out larry tidwell and see how he does business he can probably tell you the name of every girls head coach in this area and has made a point to make contact with them that is why he is so good at what he does he has got the pr down i had coaches tell me that he would go to their clinic in san antonio every year and just hang out with the high school coaches and get to know them pr is a huge part of the college world especially when you are taking over a down program [/quote]I agree with what you are saying. But you're not going to win dependent upon local talent in this area. Sure its good PR and it looks good to see the coach sitting in the stands.

If a player makes enough noise on his team and has true talent, Knight as well as other schools will find out. But just because you da man on your team doesn't equal D-1 talent.

[/quote] evadale will be there only on saturday due to kids playin baseball also [/quote]The Beaumont Hoopstars will be there taking names and kicking a*zz.

[quote name="team first" post="997111" timestamp="1302746655"] All I know is the guy from Rice better at least let the kids look at a ball......They havnt seen one since the season ended! WoWWWWW! But, I'm sure those weights are helping those jumpshots Those halfcourt shots count as 4 pters in the ABA dont they? [/quote] Ah, now you have touched on an item that HF kids need to address. What you put into the game is what you will get out of it. If you workout with a *purpose* it will show in your game. Weights aren't a problem with me as long as 75% of your workouts are in the gym. 50/50 won't get it. The game is too skilled if you want to compete at a competitive level.

[quote name="stevenash" post="997200" timestamp="1302785170"] Hopefully he will do well.  However, someone over there has to understand that when that attempted layup clanks off the rim and bounces out to the free throw line, it implies that the player may have too much strength and not enough skill. [/quote] :D Stevie, the only clanking I saw was from a lack of skill, not weights
