I've supported the [b]Nederland Bulldogs[/b] for all 44 years of my life![/quote]I will say this about the Dallas Kimball/Lufkin game. That was not the Dalllas Kimball team that played the first two games of the tourney. They were just going through the motions against Lufkin for the first 3 quarters, never pressing one second of the game until the middle of the 4th. I believe it was because Royce Johnson, coach of Kimball, was still pissed about losing to North Shore. He never got off the bench during the game up until the 4th and they rotated players in and out much differently than in the previous two games. It was obvious they really didn't care about the game. What most folks don't know, Coach Johnson was threatening to quit the tourney (not play in 3rd place game) and never return to this tournament because he felt the officials (both on and off the court) were against his team. (I heard this first hand as I was back near the hospitality room where this conversation was taking place) Coach Johnson thought the foul calls were too one-sided and he questioned the bracket lay out.Needless to say, we probably won't see Dallas Kimball back at the YMBL.I think Ned's path to the finals became easier when both Central, PAM and Ozen lost in the first round. But, they took care of business and they did beat Hightower who had just come off beating down Central. ;)[/quote]I did notice they weren't pressing. I thought they were just mad they lost. Didn't kmow the coach was upset over the officials. Goes to tell u there is always another side to the story. According to the score, it sounded like Hightower handled Central fairly easily. Was Central ever in the game? In the preseason poll, i picked Central as being one of the top 2 schools in 20-4A, and i still believe they will finish 1st or 2nd. But Nederland played a great game and beat that same HT team. To discount their victory over HT would be ignorant IMO! ;)[/quote]We were in the game. We were actually up at the end of the first period. We allpwed # 23 to get going by not holding him tigt after hit crossed halfcourt. We'd guard him only when he was close to the three point line when obviously, this kid have range when he was hitting shots well past the NBA range. After that, he was heated up and begin to take our players on one on one in the 4th... We NEVER brought a double team to take the ball out his hands or anything. Also, on offense, we never ran any plays to get K.Smith opened. Everything he got, he had to earn it. Obviously, they know which player to watch. We'll be fine, though. I still think we'll have a good showing at the Nederland Tourney, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ispeakjive Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Blue Dove:I'm sure your kids are great players. That seems to be the consensus of everyone that has seen them play. What I can't understand is your incessant downplaying of Nederland's basketball program. I know you think that any program not built by AAU types and "free agents" doesn't deserve any credit, but Coach English has built a strong program from scratch without blue chip talent. This is not a flash in the pan anymore. This program is going on 4 strong years now and it's coming from the grass roots. No one puts them in the class of historically strong programs like Ozen, Central, HJ, Silsbee (or Hamshire Fannett) yet, but they are clearly emerging. I can't help but wonder what is really behind your seeming hatred for Nederland basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDOVE3 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 [quote name="ispeakjive" post="1139597" timestamp="1323035063"]Blue Dove:I'm sure your kids are great players. That seems to be the consensus of everyone that has seen them play. What I can't understand is your incessant downplaying of Nederland's basketball program. I know you think that any program not built by AAU types and "free agents" doesn't deserve any credit, but Coach English has built a strong program from scratch without blue chip talent. This is not a flash in the pan anymore. This program is going on 4 strong years now and it's coming from the grass roots. No one puts them in the class of historically strong programs like Ozen, Central, HJ, Silsbee (or Hamshire Fannett) yet, but they are clearly emerging. I can't help but wonder what is really behind your seeming hatred for Nederland basketball? [/quote] I've been saying for a couple of years now that Coach English has his program moving in right direction. I use to see him in Houston getting his kids ready. Playing against different teams and players so his kids would be familiar and learn new things. Now you see the growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozen may have lost to other good teams in bit time tournaments or maybe the State Title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they we re competitive with ozen and central. And the subject was about how good of a coach COACH ENGLISH is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
