5GallonBucket Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I don't have a dog in the fightthe truth: Beaumont will always have superior athletic ability as a whole over Nederland. Beaumont Middle Schools are split among 3 public High Schools and several other private schools. Nederland has one high school. Nederland players predominately stay together thru Middle school to High School Beaumont players do not. Nederland is able to compete because there is more unity and they have a head coach that out coaches the coaches in that district No im not saying that the beaumont coaches can't coach, but with the talent they have in that area the beaumont schools should be heads above Nederland or any other team in that district. I see the talent on the junior high level for beaumont year in and year out. Coach English is teaching his players and the players get it. Beaumont coaches seem to use the invidual raw talent/athletic ability as a cruch when it comes to their coaching/teaching a team . Coach English can't afford to do that or they would not be competitive.

You left one more valuable asset that ALL Beaumont schools have and MOST other schools in 4A/5A have:3-4 assistant coaches including at least one Full time Varsity assistant. Nederland has Coach E. and one other coach to coach 3 teams! Nederland is NOT a basketball town, it's a football town. We had two kids who lettered and contributed last year, but chose to not come out this year in order to concentrate on football. In addition, we had another JV kid who is a Soph who also quit in order to focus on football (and baseball) who would have either started on varsity next year or been one of 1st 2 kids off the bench. Would be interesting to see if the Ned basketball team was on the same playing field when it comes to coaches and support from administration.
5GallonBucket Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Yes that is very true.....He needs an assistant that is not only full time basketball, but one that knows the game.

BMTSoulja1 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 When did this turn into a Nederland vs Beaumont thing? West Brook and Central had nothing to do with Nederland losing to Ozen...
Dick Vitale Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Awww Shucks!! You mean I have been missing all of this good action between the Nederland and Beaumont contingent? ;D....In town today during our bye week doing some recruiting....Should I head to Ford Park for HJ/Silsbee, or check out the young guns at Beaumont Central, or see Nederland smack Lumberton? Decisions, decisions!! I really miss my SE Texas family! 8)

But i was just responding to other posts about freshmen and junior high kids. think about it How is Nederland able to compete and sometimes beat these beaumont schools? Is it because of Coach Es work or the lack of coach/teaching at the beaumont schools? or maybe a combination of the two....Do we really need to compare the talent and athleticism of the two areas, its a pretty clear answer......beaumont is far superior in those qualities as a whole than nederland.....

Dick Vitale Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Guys, Coach English does a TREMENDOUS job, considering what he has to go through over there in Nederland. I think that they should take a long, hard look at untying his hands with that basketball program just to see what it can be. He is by far and away the best coach in 20-4A...And it shows...They just need to give him what he needs to be successful, or they will eventually lose him.

Obviously you are aware of his many challenges he faces every year off the court. ;) Nobody in Nederland is brave enough to stand up against those who are tying his hands!

Further, I thank you very much for taking time out of your very busy schedule to answer my "less than intelligent" inquiry. I can clearly see that one thing about you has not changed while you have been gone. But I guess that's what makes you so endearing to all your old buddies here at SETX Sports. :)
