How did you arrive at that assumption? PN-G has essentially the same scenario, yet I don't remember much speculation likewise. The arrival of a new AD anywhere generally leads to various amounts of turnover, but I would not take that to necessarily be indicative of any presumed "problem" with BH. Toon may have simply found a higher compensated position at a larger school, perhaps.

BH is one of the highest (if not the highest) paying districts in the state.

I think the problem is that they are 3 yrs into 4A and the Hill is not happy with the results.

It's gotta be the coaching. ;D

how he did steal that job.  Well, he has three years to get to state or they will run him off like they did the last coach. The freshman group that nimitz has coming in and the sophomore class that's over there now is goooooood. No more excuses about he dosen't have enough talent. The talent cup is over flowing at nimitz.

BH hires new basketball coach
By Nathan Hague
The Baytown Sun
Published June 30, 2010
Barbers Hill named Tyron Lee to replace Nathan Toon as its new boys head basketball coach Monday night.

Lee was the head basketball coach at Farmersville High School for two years, after spending five years coaching at The Colony High School, and from 2001-2003 Lee coached at St. Michaels Academy in Bryan.

“He’s very vibrant and full of enthusiasm and vigor,” said Barbers Hill Superintendent Dr. Greg Poole. “He took a program that was dismal and took them to the playoffs. He’s a younger coach on his way up.”

Lee heard about the job opening from Barbers Hill football coach and Athletic Director Ronnie Gage.

“I have a connection with Coach Gage, and talking to him and other people in the area, it just seemed like a perfect fit,” Lee said. “He (Gage) was the athletic director of Lewisville ISD at the same time that I was in the area. When other people move here because of him, it’s a reflection on him. He’s that good.”

His time in the Mont Belvieu area has been brief, but Lee is satisfied with what he has seen so far.

“I love it to be honest with you,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for me and my family. I have a wife and three young kids, and the area seems like a great place to raise a family. Everything I know about Barbers Hill, and everything people keep telling me, it just keeps getting better and better. I’m trying to get us moved as soon as I can.”

Lee hasn’t met the players on his new team yet, but he’s excited to do so based on what people are telling him.

“They have a strong work ethic and high character,” he said. “We’re on the same page, and I’m really excited about it.”

This year will be Lee’s eighth year coaching basketball, and just last year he led Farmersville to the playoffs for the first time in seven years.

It was an exciting time,” he said. “Those guys worked as hard as they could, I’m happy for them.”

During his freshman year, Lee played on the basketball team at Sul Ross University in Alpine where he majored in kinesiology. Later earned a masters degree from Texas A&M.

“I’ve known I wanted to be basketball coach since 16,” he said. “I love the game, and teaching is what I want to do, and luckily, I get to teach my favorite subject which is basketball.”

Lee will take over for Toon who coached the Eagles for five years. In his last year, Toon led the Eagles to a 22-11 record and took them to the playoffs for the third time during his tenure.

    • I agree but Hitchcock had better skill players 
    • Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size. 
    • You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.  
    • According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
