Question for Nederland BB Fans


Recommended Posts

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?

[/quote] Speaking from a basketball point of view, the dad probably did his son some justice. 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.

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

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

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....

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.

    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
