horndawg Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If he had brought them to a regional final I would listen to that argument but unfortunately, we'll never really know if he could have been the "best" coach they ever had. As it stands now, keener is the top guy to date that I can think of.I will say though that he seems to have set a good foundation that can be built off of.

That's as far as they've been as far as I know unless there's some before my time I don't know about. He had good success. Isn't that what was talked about? "just win baby" If that constitutes te best coach, then he's the best.

12gage Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 as far as the bar "being set really low" with parr . i will bet he had more playoff games than any bb coach in hf history , check your facts before you mouth off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just win baby" attitude? summer camps? open gym policy? Sounds good. DeCello (I'm getting back on topic for mods) definitely had 3 of those listed above in his favor.

horndawg Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Those are some of the qualities I've seen people talk about and Keener had those, so I was simply pointing that out. Plus he had the wins to go along with it. I'm not saying DiCello couldn't have been that, he just didn't have enough time, unfortunately, to be considered the best. I don't have a problem giving credit where it's due, but a realist as well and as Lazeek said, 5 games wasn't nearly enough. But what's done is done and I hope nothing but the best for the kids playing. Hope they can fight through all this and get themselves a playoff spot.

Guest speechless Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Lets get some facts straight here:-HF lost to Kountze in the Regional QUARTER Final....not Regional Final (they were in same district that year....HF finished 3rd and Kountze won it)-HF did not win district when HJ was in it.....they split games but, HF lost another district game and HJ won the district title that year (not the same year as HF lost to Kountze)-And Jeff Keener is one heckuva coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST413 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ok from my point of view it doesnt matter how long one coached at a school to be considered the best. For example, if Phil Jackson came and coached HF for one game wouldnt he still be the best coach HF ever had just not the most successful at HF?
