bball2011 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Heard that Weuller was out and they hired a Spurger Girls coach...Josh Mitchell.They have a new Athletic director, Larry Haynes, replacing people here and there. Also heard the baseball coach was out...Stewart, going to be an assistant principal.
AggiesAreWe Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Interesting.....Now I understand some certain actions of late. ;)
Sportsilove2 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 A new lumberton basketball coach. I think it's a good thing to be honest if in fact it's the truth. Have they confirmed who the new coach is going to be

Aces_Full Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Let's see. Lumberton was one game from making the playoffs this year (prob much better than most predicted), and the coach gets fired? He has also done a good job building the under levels of the basketball program. Coach Wueller has put them in contention to be playoff contenders for the foreseeable future, and he is replaced by a girl's coach with no experience on the boy's side? Sounds like a good 'ole boy network hire to me. I hope the AD will hold himself to the same standard that he has Coach Wueller.

AggiesAreWe Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I thought Coach Wueller deserved another year based on what he has done this year and with sub levels.But when you hire a new AD (Haynes) sometimes they will hire their "buddies" in other coaching positions. ;)
ballup Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Coach Wueller was a good man don't know why they would let him go. He worked with the kids very well. He worked very well with the talent he had.

He was starting to get that program on track. Coach Wueller knows who to run a program. He will get picked up quick and will be successful where ever he lands.

Josh Mitchell was the assistant boys coach at Hardin the 1st couple of years Haynes was there. Assistant to a team that would have no doubt beaten Lumberton in basketball... They split with both Kountze and EC who ended up in regional tourney. 2nd... ALL athletic directors hire people that have worked under them before. They're familiar with what the A.D. wants. It's not "good ' ole boy".. it's just how things are done.
Team Game Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Just curious as to this change being made now. I didn't think Haynes' contract had officially started yet.

And I'm sure the new coach will be fine.

The head coach was Chris McClain. Notable players Were JOSH MITCHELL, Jory Fondren, & Justin shackleford,
Sportsilove2 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 I'm sorry Mitchell Brown, & Boogie Hooker. I believe that was the starting 5 that year ;)

If you use DVs criteria and you are the AD at Bridge City, you have to replace the coach every year. If the coach is improving the program on a gradual basis, why should you take the risk that his successor wont be able to do that?
