[/quote]nope! [/quote] What about the Longhorns? [/quote]yes! Did you honestly think I would give any other answer? :D

[quote name="utfan06" post="979202" timestamp="1299536030"] Ill go ahead and start the rumor of a couple varsity Silsbee players from last year movin to kountze:) or at least that's what im hearing [/quote]Probably a good move. Silsbee is full of guards. You'll get ( errr... I meant they'll ) pleanty of playing time at Kountze AND get a chance to make it to State IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. Please GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Skelton sounds nice. Give me a guy who has to work to get his recruits because he isn't at some brand name school with a million plus budget and television contracts thats helps in recruiting.

[quote name="tamulonghorn" post="979160" timestamp="1299533039"] i remember when lamar used to put together their who's who list every time the basketball job came open we see how that has worked out [/quote]Thats Lamar! The difference is that a good coach can win with the talent at HF and whats coming in to the high school.

[quote name="sleepy" post="979089" timestamp="1299524700"] I cannot wait to hear this who's who list of coaches applying at HF.  This could get really funny! [/quote]Funny? Sleppy you may be in denial. It's a hot job. Here you have a losing program and a new coach comes in and has a winning season for the next 4,5 or 6 years. The coach will look like a star and move up into the big time. Funny huh? Coach laughing all the way to the Texas Coaches Hall of Fame ;D

Interesting. [/quote]Yes.  They did quite well.  One of them will be back for 2 more years! BTW, K. Smith from Nederland was a beast for Nederland.  I remember asking people, who is the OTHER tall kid?  Because he is nice.  Great to see him get the recognization he deserves.  Doty was the vocal point of all of the teams defensive stragy.  They say, 'all you have to do is stop Doty and you win.  Easier said than done.  This kid put up numbers against defenses specifically called to stop him.  Impressive from a 2 star athlete. Ieans showed everyone in district what 6'8" can do.  He played great defense.  Coach English shows once again that he is the best coach in this district.  He knows his x's and o's big time. [/quote]And you' may be stuck another year with your Central coach. ;D

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="979077" timestamp="1299522798"] [quote author=DOGS1988 link=topic=81275.msg979024#msg979024 date=1299517038] When I read this thread it sounds to me that several are making Nederland look like sore losers.  I am proud of our basketball team and the coaches for their accomplishments this year.  I am not sore they lost in the Regional Semi-Finals..... heck, that's the farthest we have been since the 1940's.....you run into really good teams that deep in playoffs and that is exactly what happened Friday night.... Ball out played us.  As for what I am hearing about the assistant coaches, I do not believe for one minute that any of the assistants would purposely NOT have their head in the game Friday night.... sorry, just sounds to me like an excuse for blame of losing the game.  English is wonderful Coach and we will see a successful basketball program from him.... Neumann hired us a good Basketball Coach.... so what is the problem?  Stop the blaming and excuses, IMO, but what do I know right, just an observation here.  Congrats on a wonderful run in playoffs guys and as always I will be in the stands doing my job of cheering and supporting our teams. [/quote]I disagree.  Nobody has claimed that Nederland would have won if they had better assistants. It looks like these people are just saying that Nederland would be better if: a) Neumman would support them by, b) hiring better assistants. With that said, everyone who has made a claim such as this has also stated that Ball would have won the game anyway.  I don't see any sore losers, just some Bulldog Faithful wanting to see how to get a little more out of the team in the future.  Ain't nothin' wrong with that!  I've seen HJ benefit immensely from having excellent assistant coaches (Davis and Lee), so I understand what the Dawgs are loooking for. [/quote]Is Lee the 8th grade coach too at HJ?

Central brought up those JV players and made district selection. Interesting.

[quote name="stevenash" post="979068" timestamp="1299521382"] Thats who you need for the Longhorns [/quote]Exactly! And I know a few people in this area  ;) who have the same credits.

[quote name="stevenash" post="979069" timestamp="1299521462"] Mamma, I suspect (and I know this from personal experience) is more concerned with the social impact of your conduct than you are, right? [/quote] :D :D  I could care less at times. She keeps me on track, sometimes.

Good for him at UT. But UT can still get the bottom half of the Top 100 and still be a better class than what LU recruits bring to the table.

[quote name="stevenash" post="979015" timestamp="1299516394"] I therefore suggest that giving the coach more autonomy might be a more productive issue than who they secure as the new coach. [/quote]I think those coaches in the know will ask for that. If the better names begin to drop from the list, then we will know the coach would not be able to run his basketball program.
