Probably the 3rd best team in the region.

I gotcha. Well, that, unfortunately, happens with just about any circumstance where a coach decision impacts little Johnny's momma's feelings. In this instance ^ ... the coaches 100% did the right thing. Signing day is a pretty sacred thing and should only be celebrated by the members of the team that saw the season all the way through.

Who is "yall"? I'm not blaming anybody... when I played if you quit a sport you weren't allowed to play the next sport. If you had no intentions of playing another sport then athletics was over for you. I don't feel sorry for anyone here. The kid shouldn't have been allowed to sign with the football players that he quit on.

A kid that quit on his high school team... didn't stay at la tech long? What a shocker.

Un huh.. I guess they had every kid returning from the year before? Didn't even lose one? Same district? Other district teams had the same exact kids? Coaching matters a little bit.. but good coaches can't win without players.

*You're.......Hey, you're

That will have more to do with their outcome than a coaching change. If it happened.

I stopped sitting in the stands because of this exact scenario. I then stopped going to games altogether when I realized I could still hear those idiots from where I was trying to isolate myself. High school games that is. Big venues only from now on. smh..

How many seniors will they be losing this year?

jajajaja!

I've been having a field day with all of my butthurt friends over that call. LOL

It is a fact that a bond (voted for by the taxpaying citizens of Allen ISD) was passed in order to build a 60 million dollar football stadium for their school. I am speculating that a parent would rather have their kid play football there than...(insert North Tx school district). I have close personal friends that coach in DFW and it is explained to me in full detail that when a player doesn't like their current situation for whatever reason it's nothing to simply sign a lease contract with an apartment building in another district and change teams. It could be something as simple as not liking their current position or even their English teacher. And if you don't think that's happening in every big city in the state then you're too naive to understand. Coaches don't have to recruit.. facilities and high paid teachers/coaches are a recruitment strategy in itself.

First .. the only recruiting being done at Allen is by the taxpayers of that community. Their decision to build the nicest facilities in the area is what inticed those parents to bring their kids there. Second .. you’re opinion is somewhat irrelevant. Remember that one time you tried to convince everyone that Allen always wins because of enrollment/recruitment/home field advantage?? Well.. we didn’t. All of those ^ excuses were not only proven wrong by numerous examples, but proven way wrong THIS YEAR. Smh.. the irony of someone from East Chambers complaining about another school getting football transfers.

I think the original points that were made regarding the schedule was that last year and the year prior Hardin scheduled a tougher preseason schedule than this year. By quite a stretch. And it seems as though the year's outcome is going to be identical. Tied for 4th at best. The preseason schedule didn't help them last year just like it didn't help a few other teams in the district this year. I also think that the 32 - 6 foul count was in reference to the first time that they played. Not this time.

That may have had something to do with it also. In small school games, one player can make all the difference in the world.

Gotcha. I wasn't aware they played similar styles.. my apologies. It was more of a knee jerk reaction to times I've seen that comment made previously by fans looking for something to blame a loss on. Not saying you were doing that. To add to points made by both of us. Wasn't Warren missing some players in that first game? I thought I read that. If so. I don't know how deep Warren's bench is but it may be possible that Warren had kids on the floor that "would not know how to position themselves defensively to avoid fouling." Correct?

I hate when this is thrown out there, by the way. This can be attributed solely to the style of play. I've seen from several posters on here several times that Hardin slows the ball way down and plays very slow, half court basketball. A team that does that is not going to foul a lot in the first place.

Gotcha. I agree with that. I know that when I was in college we spent about 20 minutes of every practice working strictly on situational basketball. I know it's a lot different when you throw a shot clock in the mix but my point still remains. Have to learn how to handle those situations somehow. Most kids don't watch basketball and when they do..they aren't watching it for learning purposes.

I haven't seen them play..so take my opinion for what it is. An opinion. But..I would think that having a lead of 4 with less than a minute actually does take a fair amount of basketball IQ to hold that lead or worst case scenario.. make sure it at least goes to overtime. It takes basketball "know how" to play with a close lead just like it takes basketball "know how" to play from behind. Even if you have a lead by 4 and give up a 3 within the next 10 seconds you still have a 1 point lead with 50 seconds. It takes a fair amount of basketball IQ to hold on to the ball without turning it over or taking a stupid, rushed shot. Chances are they get fouled and maybe go to the line. Let's say HHS misses the front end or both or just makes one.. worst case you still have a 1 pt lead and have to play defense for 45 seconds. Did Warren hold for the last shot or did they go down and score right away? Or did they get fouled (low bball IQ)? It should've at worst been Hardin's ball at the end of the game down by 1 shot. How the heck did this end up a 6 point loss? I can only speculate that some bad decisions may have been made.. Or some silly decisions/turnovers/rushed shots. Very possible that a 10 points swing in the final minute of the game was a result of kids that don't really know how to play basketball. Even if they're scrappy. Is that what's meant by low IQ, possibly? Again..I wasn't there.

What happened to Anahuac basketball is what's currently going on with Kountze basketball. Can't win a horse race with a donkey.

I hear a while back it was coming.

If that ^ was the case then I doubt anyone would know who either of them is.

Just gonna ignore my question? That's alright... I could make you a list of all of the football coaches that won state titles and never even came close afterward...but I won't. Think whatever you want to think.

Oh I gotcha... so coaching only matters in football? Alright, then how about Cornell Thompson? Why didn't WOS win state this last year? Come to think of it...they didn't even get out of the region. Is he not as good of a coach as he was? Scott Surratt?

Well, people already claim that they should at least be winning a playoff game by now. Not me..people. But ok. What about Kountze Basketball? He's been there over a decade...that long enough?
