bh89-2 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Great story, too bad Barbers Hill never gave him a shot at coaching here. Maybe he can close out his careeer once Price finally finds a new gig or gets fired This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up
HillGuy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Scooped you on this one a few days ago...just go back in the threads, ha. What makes you think he WANTED to coach at the Hill, LOL. Coach Hooks: “It was a great place to grow up and do athletics,†Hooks said. “It was a good town, small, and we won in everything: football, basketball and track. I really enjoyed my stay there.†......sounds like: nice place to stay, but I wouldn't want to coach there ;D Also interesting quote: “The secret for winning football games is to have good players and good assistant coaches,†he said, “and I’ve had both." .....He's had a gold mine of talent at WOS, why would anyone go anywhere else with that. Best a coach has been able to count on at BH is very dedicated, hard-working, but AVERAGE athletes and good parent support.

Rumor was (Of course just a rumor) that Hooks did apply ,but BH picked another coach over him. Oh and the part about the Average Athletes can also be quoted about the coaches as well. I have seen some good talent go through BH that was wasted IMHO.

Hooks is really good, but the athletes he has had to work with have made him great

Gabe Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Can't believe nobody has said this yet, or at least I haven't seen it...Congratulations Coach Hooks.
