See post above regarding the kid comment. Most definitely was not intended as a slight. Just showing my age. And I’m definitely out of the loop with regard to Orangefield girls basketball and most always have been.

Wasn’t meant to be a jab. I’m old. KJ is a kid to me too. But point taken. It wasn’t at all meant to be a derogatory statement. I would imagine Remi will make a fine coach. Always been impressed with him, his dad, and his brothers.

Yeah he plays for Randy Livingston’s team. They beat the that kid from Lake Highland’s team last weekend (#1 ranked junior in the country) and Jared played very well apparently.

Because he is playing in front of coaches you see on TV against real dudes in Phoenix. Not against the “pink team” in Smoketown. This one of the biggest weekends of the year for kids that will be D1 basketball players.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. Which would be a shame because it is, in general, a good job. Not the highest paid probably, but good kids and a GREAT AD, HS principal and Superintendent. Always nice to have awesome bosses. But it just appeared that your tongue in cheek comment about potential candidates was taken seriously by some in this thread.

I’m surprised they hired him when Connell from Buna was available. He has one year’s experience coaching boys too.

And I’m saying said folks may be the very reason you only had two candidates who even wanted the job. And the same folks are on here arguing the one who should have been hired is a kid who wouldn’t have been considered for a head varsity job anywhere else. So yes, seems some delusion is going on. The same delusion that cost you guys a coach who didn’t just move on for more money. But you appear to be out of that loop so we will leave it at that.

On Facebook, by the aforementioned father.

He’s trolling. He works at one of the refineries, has a family to support, isn’t a teacher, etc.

THAT would be a phenomenal hire. And he would be appreciated there.

No one is talking about Girola. I don’t even know who that is. And don’t assume what I know or don’t know on the boys’ side. Maybe you are the one who is clueless there.

Ok, ok. You did at least do some research to get the correct records. I still suspect you’ve seen zero of their games over the past two years or seen KJ coach a single game. I wouldn’t expect you to, it’s 2A girls basketball. Not like it’s televised. But from what it sounds like, it came down to a couple of guys that actually wanted the job and your administration hired the more experienced. I’m sure they wish they had more interest in the job. And speaking of the boys job, I wonder how much interest they would have gotten there too. You see, when the local “experts” run off a historically GREAT (not just good) coach, word tends to get around and the more qualified guys (and gals) may shy away. So KJ could be the best women’s coach since Hyden there and I suppose it’s possible your comrades still won’t be satisfied. Tough gig over there.

Yeah if they were going to hire someone with no HC experience, they have one on staff who has been an OF kid all his life and coaching basketball at various levels there. One thing about it, Smalley has proven himself to be as good an AD as a football coach and he’s one heckuva of a football coach in my opinion. He truly cares and supports ALL the sports, boys and girls. They have had an incredible year winning district championships in boys and girls sports and sending multiple kids to state in individual sports. Just like with Jake, Erickson, Ragsdales, and many others we could name, I’m sure he will hire the right guy.

Silsbee definitely has a better chance to get to state. I think the ceiling for BU is the regional tournament. If Silsbee does make it to state, their ceiling is probably whenever they play the DFW representative.

Joubert had a 3-20 season recently. So he won 3 games more than zero. Fantastic. I’m sure he momentarily forgot how to coach that season. But thanks, by omission, for admitting you know nothing about Chilton girl’s basketball other than what you found on MaxPreps. You don’t know a thing about their personnel or their opponents. It may be “silly” for me to assume this, but it seems pretty obvious to be the case. I, unlike you, can tell you that during the season where the Lions won 3 games (according to MaxPreps - like you, have no idea if that’s accurate because, well, MaxPreps), his team was pretty bad (and that may be kind). I saw them play more than once with my own eyes. If they did only win 3 games, that doesn’t surprise me.

It’s always close, but if I were betting, it would be that we stay 3A. I think our numbers might be lower than last realignment. In fairness to Josh, he’s a much better football coach than mathematician. And I only say that hoping it gets back to him 😂🤣

He’s great at it also.

And to be clear, the guy you few were arguing should have been hired would only have more experience than someone with ZERO experience. Think about that.

What kind of talent did Chilton have compared to their opponents. Since we know what kind of experience it was, you must be able to let us know their strengths and weaknesses compared to their opponents. So when Kountze was god awful for a couple of years, Joubert forgot how to coach for a couple of seasons?

It’s as dumb politically as it is in practicality. It never ceases to amaze me how truly out of touch with reality these idiots are who govern us.

This issue is beyond stupid. I can’t even believe it’s a thing. Change your sex or whatever all you want. But you don’t do it and expect to compete against our daughters. That’s lunacy and a good way to push swing voters to the right.

LCM pays better. And he will have better players there overall on a consistent basis. Would love to have him but pretty sure he wouldn’t be interested.

Maybe so. Have no idea honestly. Nor do I know if he would be interested. Looks like his training business is starting to boom. For good reason.

This. More so than ever. Teacher’s in higher demand than almost any profession. Wonder if there’s a way to solve that.
