Honest Abe

I agree with both.

I don't believe that It's not as 'off topic' as you claim. I read numerous posts in this thread stating that it would be good for coach E to 'get a bump' (in pay) as he 'deserves' if Monte gets both titles. I think the remarks were to the effect of him having a master's degree. Not sure how much (if any) he receives for that accomplishment, but a reason to obtain such a degree (in education) is in hopes of an administrative type job. The AD is a type of admin job, especially based on the pay scale. A reliable source tells me he's not receiving $7.5k/year as a stipend. That same source also confirmed that he IS the lowest paid coach in 22-5A for certain. I'm being vocal about this bc I want coach E to stick around a bit longer for my youngest boy. I want him to have the same opportunities as did my oldest son.

I know it's true amongst 6A/5A/4A coaches, just didn't know/think it could be true for ALL classes. Either way, he deserves more, IMO.

Gotcha. I heard chatter that English is the lowest paid basketball coach in the area (regardless of classification). If true, that's a shame...My kid went through the bball program a few years back, and I know that Coach E. puts in more time with his kids than any bball coach in the area. Too bad there isn't more of a direct correlation with time/pay.

Congrats to Monte. Well deserved after waiting 20 some odd years for his turn at the helm. No doubt he was the best choice for the job. I read a lot of people hoping for this outcome as well as a bump for coach English. Does anyone know if this was addressed?

Great comeback and W!

Great job Jags!

Yes

Didn't know we had any 'haters' amongst our crowd. But congrats and good luck the rest of the way.

Big Ned missed 16 free throws. Very surprised we were still able to force overtime since we missed so many.

Ned down 52-55 in OT. 1:11 remaining

The impossible just happened!

Darrell made 2 FTs. Ned steals ball and Reid Garrett drains 3ball. Overtime baby!!!!

Dawgs missed too many FTs or we would be winning.

Reid Garrett drains a 3. Ned down 36-39

They've made probably 10

Humble killing the 3 ball. Not gonna win unless they go cold.

Half Ned 20 Humble 23

End of 1stQ Ned 13 Humble 10

Ned up 10-5 mid 1st

@ Play Action Pass-This makes sense.

Nederland will play Humble in round one. Time and place TBD.

The biggest wrong call in HS Bball, IMO. Drives me insane.

When a player shoots an air ball and gets his own rebound...NOT traveling.

End of 3rdQ: Ned up 45-21
