And with a disclaimer that I don’t know ANY inside info on this one, I can tell you that my OF peeps are BIG mad over this one. Doesn’t seem shocking to me at all, seems like a no brainer from a coaching standpoint. But it seems some think there is more involved here internally in Bobcat country. The amount of posts on the community page about it being the AD that "ran him off" are comical. OF is typically a stepping stone to get to a bigger higher paying school. Ty Cobb and TxHoops 1 1 Quote

How would anyone know what was done to keep or not keep him? He's a great coach and has a great resume right now - With only two returners, I think he left at the best time with the most leverage.

No sir. 4th Round is the Regional Semifinal which Orangefield played Rusk in 2021 and China Spring 2022. 5th round is regional final Elessar and Ty Cobb 1 1 Quote

I had forgotten they lost to Jasper in the game before state, like BC did a few years before. They also apparently played an epic three gamer against WOS earlier in the playoffs. Didn’t remember that either. Quote

Orangefield has basically turned into a little PNG over the years so there are lots of similarities, but you can't be upset about a guy bettering his situation in all facets. For the record, the new Orangefield coach is a rock star too. I met Jake a few years ago at a mutual friend's bachelor party - he's a great dude Quote
