Considering he led Hj to a district title and laid thr groundwork for West Orange being so good this year, I say that would be a hone run hire. Im not sure 11-15, a 4th place finish, and a win over a depleted HJ team would be considered "being so good" this year. Bobcat1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great book on Buna basketball and how legendary Coach Cotton Robinson led them to 7 State Championships. I don't know if Buna will ever see another State Championship again. Is considered an elite high school coaching position amongst coaches these days, or just a small town that had a good run in the 50's? Great Read “ King Cotton”. 5GallonBucket, Waterboys and Sugarbear 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed me some Facebook post from parents and talked about fans always yelling at him during the game. Don’t think it was small town politics that ran him out. But if admin didn’t remove those fans during the game, I doubt they did anything to try to keep him. The fact that school board members are posting about the job on here, maybe there were some politics going on that they didn’t know about. Girls basketball coach went to orangefield and now boys basketball is leaving. Both were successful and both wanted to stay there for their entire coaching career. Both leaving raises questions and concerns for the program. Good luck to the coach going forward. This story is sad and all too common these days. The people from small communities that understand what coaching requires are becoming rare. The Karens and the Kens (parents of "athletes") are running off good people. I guess they get what they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee88 Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Both of those guys have similar coaching styles, watching those two on the sidelines will be worth the price of admission. I hope my Indians are making the return trip to Buna next year so I can watch the antics! HarryDoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
