Guest Penny Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Texas, where are you going with this. I said heck yeah everyone knows Hammond is the best player by and far, my quote was most good coaches can pick the stud as he walks off the bus. Your point earlier was that because he scored so much in the early going and he was touted so highly, it screwed up the district race as coaches aimed to shut him down. That's the silly part, the kid is good, no matter how it rolls, teams will aim to shut him down.
texasrm25 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Another great answer Penny. I believe everyone here will agree Coach English is a "good coach". Is this how Nederland plan their games? English watches the team get off the bus, sizes up all their studs and then before tipoff draws up a game plan? Could explain a lot. I guess that's why we lose a lot of road games, coaches can't watch the other team get off the bus because they are already in the gym. Or maybe the other coaches are watching us get off the bus. I will be more than happy to answer your question about where I am going with this if you will explain to me why you said the team had problems with 1.Not playing team ball. 2.Not playing defense for each other. 3. Not hustleing after loose balls. 4.Not playing unselfishly. To the point it hurts the team. 5.You accused this group of not having the capasity to play for anyone else if they could not win here. 6. You were uncertain if they would improve. You must have had a very good reason for writing this, I am not buying your first answer. We all want the team to continue to improve and am a bit disappointed in our end of district record this past season. But I have never been as hard on this group of players as you have. And I will disagree with you on your idea that a couple of players that started when they were sophmores were suppose to be the "turn around" for the Nederland basketball program. What did we hire a new coach for if the kids were the ones in charge anyway? You are putting way to much pressure of the players and very little on the coaches. Please tell me you are not Coach English's mom.
omegafour4 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Nederland has a legit chance to compete for a spot in the place offs as there will be four teams. Lets not get it to twisted though.....it will be Ozen and Central at the top. Who ever made the comment about Nederland almost getting central..... please you all lost by 25 at Central and was down 20 the first two minutes of the game at your place. if it had not been for the coaches, poor decision making they would have beat you by thirty at you all's place. Nederland are stealin some athletes from PA, However I don't think E. is used to coach black kids. It is different!!!! got to turne them a loose!!

The problem with turning "loose" your horses is that you have to wait on the nags to catch up. It just slows your whole system down.
Vidor50 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Coach English is a great coach and he will get his players motivated. Just give him time and don't pressure him or you might not have him.
Guest Penny Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Texas, you are a freakin genious, my first name is Vicki... HA!
Guest kf89 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 it took english at least 4 yrs. to get vidor to the playoffs?before english vidor basketball was a joke.just like nederland was.give him time to set up his program. is this about ned. chances to make the playoffs or vidor beating ned. has vidor made the playoffs since english left? how good is robertson,he gets his team up for ned. but what about the other teams in the district? what has 4-0 against ned. gotten vidor?until teams can play up to ozen & centrals level just making the playoffs is about the only goal to shoot for.good luck vidor,ned., livingston,lcm,png & lumberton trying to catch up to the 2 bmt. programs.
Guest Nederland Bulldogs Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Hoop Coop, You think Nederland will be better?
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Three spots will be open, with Ozen taking the 1st of 4... They will have a legit shot but have to learn to beat teams on the road like Vidor, etc.
Guest Nederland Bulldogs Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks. WIll Ozen be better than last season?
