Lots of talk..and yes changing classifications I do believe you can play without losing a year of eligibility.

Changing classifications?  I don't think that is how that works.  Transferring high schools for athletic purposes is not like leaving a D1 university to go play at a D3 school.

That is correct.

Great hire.  Monte will keep continuity in the program and not skip a beat while injecting a little new blood into all of the programs.  

I just hope that everyone that was this passionate about (gasp) potentially having a basketball coach as AD will be just as vocal and supportive about pushing for a proper bond issue that will upgrade all facilities (schools and athletic) in the near future.

Brian Spell as OC?  Father and son coordinators.  Pretty neat if it happens.

No reason Monte couldn't continue calling O plays,but B. Spell is capable too. Might be a hybrid type or situational type of role. But congrats to coach Barrow. Very well deserved. I can tell you the rest of the district was probably hoping for a non-Larry Neumann guy. I am just glad the board and supt. didn't botch this. Great job!

As a side note: I am willing to bet that Neumann had a big, big influence and sway on this decision. There's nothing better than a revered and legendary coach going to bat for you..

The highlighted part pretty much covers most of the comments on this thread.  The last thing most of the district wanted to see was a continuation of the same program.

No doubt that this was the smart and prudent move by Nederland ISD. No reason to make a change with the success that the formula put in place by Neuman has had. For the kids and the community, let's hope Barrow can continue the winning formula. And if he cant, then Simmons is just a phone call away.

I'm sorry, that was rude of me.  Let me rephrase, please never speak that mans name again on this board.

No problem.  I started it.  :)
