Jay Bilas Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 You guys had a potential 6'5" sophomore move in, that is the son of a Houston area coach....His dad, made him return to Houston after staying in Nederland all summer with his mother, and working out with the kids from Nederland...The kid REALLY wanted to stay in Nederland with his mother, which would have made him eligible to play varsity basketball for the Bulldogs..Yet his dad told him he would not sign the paperwork for him to transfer,told him he would not be eligible anyway, and THEN he accused Nederland coach Brian English of recruiting, which I know is not the case..I really feel for the kid....BUT is the dad REALLY wrong for making his son play for him in Houston? What do you think?
ForeverADog Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 If all you say is true, then yes that wrong.
Jay Bilas Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Posted August 23, 2011 Oh yes it is 100% accurate..which is why I asked...thought it would be interesting to debate..

Nederland will probably barely make the playoffs from here on anyway. ;D But seriously, being 6'5" he needs to play against good competition and continue to get better.
cooligan Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Let me help you out with the true facts Jay. The young man I believe you are referring to moved here prior to his 9th grade year. Because of the out of town move he was allowed to repeat 8th grade. The family took advantage of the great Redshirt-Drop down program at CO Wilson so he repeated his 8th grade at Wilson. Personally, I think the only reason for the move was to drop the boy back in grade for competitive reasons. Apparently, Coach Daddy got too cozy with his secretary and mama found out and abruptly moved her and the kids to Nederland. Coach Daddy than takes a Houston coaching job and son moves back to live with dad for his 9th grade yr. This young man is actually about 6'1" at best and is a shooting guard. It is true English allowed him to play with the summer teams, but he played with the incoming sophomore's who will make up the JV team. English knew he probably would not stay, so he would not allow him to play with the varsity until he registered this fall. What is funny, Coach Daddy did call English just last week to inform him Little Johnny was going to stay and play for Nederland. Last I heard Johnny did not enroll at Nederland. English did not recruit this player or any player for that matter. It will be interesting to follow this young man, for last I knew he couldn't play for Coach Daddy's Houston (varsity) team, cause daddy didn't live in the district he was coaching in. I say let him be forced to play for dad. At least the Soap opera appears to be gone from Nederland. We don't want any distractions. :o

cooligan Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Hey Dove, Nederland may not be able to play ball at the caliber you like, but I bet our boys will be able to read cue cards when they make commercials. DUH ;)
cooligan Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Sorry, I meant to put soap opera is gone for now. At least when we are speaking of player personnel. Who knows though. Nederland has certainly been active on the threads lately. What's next the BB Team going to take on the Tennis team? After all, they brought in a golfer on the last post. ;D ;D :D :D
Jay Bilas Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Posted August 23, 2011 Was really trying to leave all the personal stuff out of this....facts about reason for divorce really not relevant here...I did say in my original post that Coach English DID NOT recruit this kid....The question was about whether or not his dad was right for making his son return to Houston with him, although he wanted to live with his mother....

asary Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Coach English does not directly recruit, however, because of his love for the game, summer programs, coaching ability, winning record, etc, etc, etc, players/parents look for ways to play for him. As far as where this particular player will end up will depend on mom and dad, and hopefully their decision is not based solely on basketball.
NHS83LU87 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 I think at least parts of this thread should be deleted. Divorces and their reason(s) are no subject for this site. This is solely an issue for the 2 parents to decide. Hopefully, the decision is in his best interest.
