Moderator it isn't the past it is the future of these baseball players. Their future gets compromised because small town politics is more important than their success. You can lock and block all you want. Regardless it doesn't change what the situation is. Why discuss who the new coach is when there wasn't anything wrong with the coach that was there. These players deserve a good coach and a coach that is willing to do what it takes to advance their potential future in sports. Even if that means doing what he feels is right and not what the school board or the players parents think is right. I know exactly what I am talking about because I was one of those athletes. Some of these players have potential to go beyond high school sports. Yet the politics that surround the choosing of a coach greatly compromises their future. The seniors now get to go into a new season with a new coach. If they tank this season their goes their opportunity for a scholarship. If you want to lock, then do so but like I said it changes nothing.

Oh I am sorry did I hit a sore spot for you? You are right his mom, who by the way is my aunt, was on the board. You know what she was on the board when I was in school, that must have been why I placed 2nd in district in track and it has to be why I got my scholarship. I am very educated on the politics of BC and very familiar with how they work. Maybe you should invest a little more time in research before you spout off. Billy's ability to coach a team has nothing to do with his reassigning. I guess you don't like him maybe because your child, nephew or cousin was one of those that never got to play. The best coaches in my opion are the ones that don't win the affection of every parent. If everyone loved him he wouldn't be doing his job.

Anyone remember Les Johnson, the best athletic director to come to Bridge City. Small town politics ran him and they are running Billy Bryant out. Best advice I can give if you are a baseball coach don't apply. Of course if you have a cousin, wife, uncle or other family member on the board then apply. Winning in Bridge City is not what is important. It is all about who you know. Billy is a great coach and his career is far from over. For a coach to get this much recognition says a lot about his ability to coach a winning team. Has Bridge City won state under him, no, but please tell me how many times Bridge City has won state in any sport. The numbers are very few. So who gets the job? It all depends on what school board family member needs a job this year.
