And that was just at Hagar's house! Imagine what some of these AD's were doing!!!

yeah, that district is insanely stacked.

I’m not dredging it up. Suffice it to say the same poster started the same thread twice about 6 months apart, and in his second post both times casually mentioned Mitchell. Then a second poster jumped in and agreed on both posts, and then both posters spent the remainder of the threads vehemently defending the fact that he should be named among the very top coaches in the area, while talking down one particular area coach that they clearly don’t like. Maybe it’s just his two biggest fans, but it was pretty transparent, and I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. It’s also worth noting that neither poster has accessed the site since the second thread was made. And now I really am done with this thread.

Where were you when he was on here doing it? And as far as “bashing” goes, this is exceptionally mild. Anyway, I’m done with this thread. You can go back into posting retirement, mom.

Of course they do. But what team this year hasn’t had to deal with both of those? I won’t say I’m certain. I’ll say I’m almost certain.

I know, but the assertion was that he wasn’t really D1 quality until his senior year, and he was solid his sophomore year and a stud his junior year.

No personal issue. I’ve never met the man. An account created a thread several months back that was pretty disparaging to some local coaches, and very complimentary of Mitchell (and others, but his name kept coming up). Several posters in the thread seemed to be of the opinion that the account belonged to Mitchell (so this wasn’t some wild conclusion I came up with myself), and in fact there was serious speculation that a second account that kept agreeing with the first account in the thread belonged to him as well. Looking at the post history of both accounts, it seemed very likely. I’d give it <90% that it was him based on reading other posts from those accounts going back quite some time. There were other comments in that thread concerning the fact that he had the benefit of an all-time player in the program, and Mitchell/“not Mitchell” scoffed at the idea that McClure was a bigger reason for Lumberton’s improvement than Mitchell himself. And now all year long Lumberton fans have come up with one reason after another as they’ve underperformed, which was the purpose of my original excuse post. “So and so is injured”, “Mitchell wasn’t there”, “the refs”, etc. Without a doubt Mitchell played a part in lumberton’s improvement, but I tend to think it’s not AS BIG of a part as some others think.

Yes sir. Actually, I’m sped pre-k, so they were napping, but same difference.

Kinda my thoughts. People on here acting like he was a scrub the 3 years prior or something.

those coaches don't get on here and talk about how great they are, and how they're better than other coaches. oh wait, he "doesn't either". Kinda funny how @RaiderGirl2010 stated that he doesn't have an account on here because "she knows him", and then 15 minutes after she makes that statement a 15-year-old account with 6 total posts magically signs in, sees this thread and comments about how he turned the program around. One might presume she texted and asked him about having an account on here, might they? And coach green is taking those athletes deep into the playoffs in a higher classification against significantly better competition, not losing to the first team with a winning record he faces in the playoffs every year.

being honest and spewing hate are two different things. Did McClure suck the two years prior, or was he still really good? Seems like I heard about him a whole lot before his senior year.

@AggiesAreWe I'm about 90% sure he actually has two accounts on here. One for making statements for how great he is and a second for quoting them and agreeing with them. But hey, I've been wrong before.

Someone HasBeenDrinking this morning. Splendora managing to take 4th place HH to OT WAS the upset of the year, and they didn't even manage to win. If HJ has a terrible game they'll still win by 20. If the Hawks play well they'll beat splendora by 50 again like they did last month.

see ya! i don't have much respect for anyone that gets on a website and pretends to be someone else, and then talks about how great of a coach he is and how bad other coaches are. especially when his "turning the program around" coincided with having the best player in school history playing for him his first four years as a coach, and even more especially when the team fell off the map the year after that player graduated. and I bolded the excuse. I knew someone would give one.

They made it the last 3 years with McClure playing for them. He's gone, and they aren't going this year unless something crazy happens. They only managed 3 playoff wins in those 3 years, and they were against 3 teams with losing records. Obviously Lumberton has improved some, but there's a very unrealistic view floating around about what turned them around. The notable dropoff this year should be a red flag for some folks.

McClure turned lumberton basketball around. You give any 4A school a D1 player with competent role players around him and they'll do at least what Lumberton did over the past 3 years. He's gone, and lumberton has dropped back off. 15-12, 3-6 in district, and haven't really beaten a good team all year, unless you want to count squeaking by a couple of good 3A and 2A teams. Mitchell was on here hiding behind a screen name criticizing other coaches and talking about how great he is. It's starting to look like he overestimated his ability by a pretty wide margin.

Leaked documents show the Biden administration was still discussing basic plans for mass civilian evacuation hours before the Taliban took Kabul (msn.com)

After all of the talk about how great their coach is (including from him himself), there just always seems to be some reason when they lose apart from being the lesser team.

Barbers Hill won 72-48

Crosby won 83-33

Hawks won 94-28

What’s the excuse this time?

yup, I am.

If I make a post that says "Don't try to make me out to be stupid for this, but..." and then say something stupid, you can call me whatever you want, it's not you who's making me look stupid. You've accused me of trying to make you look bad, but obviously you said "don't try to make me out to be a bad person for this" because you knew what you were saying was questionable. To me your previous quote in the thread about giving the gun back to him with notches in the stock made you look a lot worse, but wanting to celebrate this event by suggesting someone display the gun as a trophy is in poor taste as well.

i'm not attempting to make you look bad, you're making yourself look bad. it doesn't mean you ARE bad, but my opinion of your comments doesn't have any bearing on how they make you look. the comments themselves are what does it.
