COACHES!!!!

[Bobcat1]

The girls coach from Canyon, I can't remember his name.  He has a lot of rings!

[dccurtis]

a guy left off the list Royce Huseman from kingwood 3 straight 5a championship games in a row

[Guest DickVitale]

Wow, I can't believe I forgot him! He does an excellent job over at Kingwood....

[Guest nostradamus]

Joubert has won two state championships at Kountze......'05 and '07 with a regional semi-final in between where they lost to Arp

Sutherland played football and basketball in high school.  There wasn't any semi-pro football around back then.....does that mean he isn't a basketball guy?

I played basketball, tennis, and golf.  I have played in some local tennis tournaments and golf tournaments in the past in the off-season....does that mean I am not a basketball guy??

So the guy played semi-pro football in his off time....so what.....

Jack Nicklaus was a multi sport athlete in college.......does that mean he is not a golf guy

Andy Evans NEVER played football in high school or college and wanted to be a head basketball coach......he has back to back state championships in football and 3 straight state championship appearances......is he not a football guy?

Better yet, the head basketball coach at Navasota in 1990 when they went undefeated and won the 3A state championship was ALSO the head football coach at Navasota (where they made a deep playoff run)......is he not a basketball guy?

I mentioned him in one of the first responses......Joe Lombard

Come on, Nos.  Get real.  You don't expect logic to be well received here, do you?

After 9 holes of play completed, Nos is 4 up on DV!!!! ;D

Golf and tennis are lifetime sports that I enjoy as well....BUT at heart I am a basketball guy...The examples that you presented are good and well taken, but IMO those are very rare cases. Joubert may very well BE a hoops lover, and a darn good basketball coach, but just not a basketball guy. Once again, its no knock, its just what it is..I was a quarterback in football in little league and Jr high...Once I got to high school, I needed to specialize, so being a basketball guy thats what I did...We probably had 2 guys the entire time I was in high school to play varsity basketball and varsity football. Two. We specialized and were more succesful for it. in BOTH sports.  Not very many two sport stars during the Lincoln days either....Ozen, we had one...get the trend?

[tlknhoops]

that gives Joub 3..2 as a coach and 1 as a player...still not a basketball guy huh..I guess Michael Jordan wasnt a basketball guy neither since his 1st love was baseball..lol

Those last few examples you stated are not good ones. Bigger schools with bigger enrollments allow for "specialization". : No trend there.

[AI_Fan]

DV i think you are losing this argument  

[BLUEDOVE3]

Real men play competitive racquetball

[yepyep]

David Milson - Cedar Hill

Glen Hayes - Aransas Pass

Sammy Koudelka - Moulton

Girls coach at Winnsboro???  Buddy ???

Joe Lombard - Canyon Girls

Buddy Hawkins is the Winnsboro coach.  And i will add Samantha Morrow to the girls list.  4 straight 5A titles at Mansfield(assuming shes still coaching).

Cant argue with yours or DV's list.  

[Lazeek]

Nos up 6 with 7 to play.......................about to close DV out!!!!!!!!!!

[tlknhoops]

Give up DV!! nos guys are keepn score

[Lazeek]

DickVitale never gives up...................he just keeps giving his story and never changes it and always ends up on the losing end!!!!!!! :D

Duane was a more talented football player than basketball.  That doesnt mean he is not a basketball guy.  In fact it shows more that he is a basketball guy that he never quit playing.  Most guys that were as talented as him would have been football year around in order to become a better player but because he loooooooooooved basketball he never quit.  No one ever said basketball had to be your best sport to coach it.  Right?

[Icky3284]

Huseman IMO has to be at the top of the list.  Those teams he had competing against National Powers (M. Singletary) a few years ago impressed the heck out of me.  They were disciplined, team oriented, and just all-around well coached.

Its an opinion and I respect that...NO wins or losses here, just opinions.

[Guest nostradamus]

I just made a call to the University of Arkansas.  After a long talk with Tramain Thomas...I have convinced him that IF he were to decide to become a basketball coach and he were very successful at it that he needs to make sure he understands that he will never be considered a "basketball guy" because he played football in college and was not at a school with 1500+ kids and therefore, did not specialize in any sports.  Poor guy.....has no future as a "basketball guy".

BTW, I competed in golf and tennis........did not play them as life time sports.  In fact, I would argue that I was more gifted in tennis but, never pursued it to the level I pursued basketball.  Tennis and golf are only lifetime sports once you cannot compete any longer.

[Guest DickVitale]

You were on the golf and tennis team? Did not know that...Now YOU are a TENNIS guy! Seriously, I think you guys think that I am saying that you can't play additional sports and still be a basketball guy...Thats no crime. But if you play on a SEMI PRO football team, you are probably a football person...Probably. No biggie, just my humble opinion...I think Joubert is a heck of a coach by the way and a good person as well.

[Guest nostradamus]

Will Ferrell played SEMI PRO basketball.......does that mean he is not a "true actor"?

Okay, Nos now has DV dormy with 6 holes remaining!

He was better at being a Spartan Cheerleader...lol

[Guest DickVitale]

Nos, stop arguing the point! The guy plays football and coaches basketball..It happens! He's done well..AND he's from HJ.... :..Geez! I wish we could have played you guys in 91... or 92! Man I wish Charlie B wasn't scared to play Houston schools back then........ : : I would have enjoyed beating the brakes off of HJ back then! Thoroughly enjoyed it! 8)....We pounded Lincoln (since they were not afraid to play up) so it would have gotten really ugly for you guys!!!
