How long is it gonna take to change the game? Silsbee wanting to know.  

I don’t think HF would have to be on Silsbee’s level. If they can just get close to the playoffs, that would be a massive step in the right direction.

So Lumberton asst will change that district up? 

Game changer! 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t all head coaches start as an assistant somewhere? I personally don’t know anyone who had never coached prior to getting a head job. Also, Lumberton made the playoffs for the first time in how many years last year? In his first year there. Seems like a good hire to me.

I wasn’t saying anything bad that he was an assistant, I have heard he is a great coach. I was asking a question, more towards why it was being kept a secret.

So are the HC at Hampshire and the assistant at Lumberton swapping seats or am I missing something ??

@BMTSoulja1 told you he would get a HC gig after the good season Lumberton had.

Absolutely great hire by HF.

He helped take a bunch of kids from a school not known for basketball, into the playoffs.  Hats off to all at HF involved in this coup.

Long time coming.   Tigee’s one of the best basketball minds I’ve been around.  Truly cerebral about the game and anyone who has worked with him has the utmost respect for him.  And his passion for the kids isn’t lost on them.  He tends to get the very best out of them. 

[BMTSoulja1]

Congrats!

True story, and the I think the kids thought the world of him.

Congrats and good luck Tigee!

This might bring him out of retirement.

Tigee will do great!  I hope for Hamshire Fannett's sake that he stays longer than a year.

A lot of things could influence that.  There’s always, “The Deal You Can’t Refuse”, that can come along, but I doubt he’d jump ship for a lateral move (Jmo).  The thing I would be worried about most is the ‘meddling in the Coaches decisions’ factor.  When the school board member wants his son to have more playing time, type thing.   If the SB & Administrators don’t interfere, I think HF gets several or more years out of him.  Again, Jmo.  He knows the game, and loves the kids.  Turn him loose and enjoy.

From my understanding HF pays worse than anyone.  That could make any deal the one he can't refuse.  Also, this is a guy used to winning and losing games is hard for competitive people.

HF hasn’t been winning lately.  That’s the point of bringing Coach Tigee in.  IF the boys listen to him, he’ll give them the opportunity to win.  It may not be the run & gun they like, but I think they’ll like winning.  Will he win for sure?   Heck, anybody’s guess.  But imo, the boys are getting a Coach they’ll like, and learn life-lessons from, and if they don’t have a winning record, I’ll be surprised.   Wish nothing but the best for the HF Basketball Team.

Well...the board is slow so I'll take the bait.  What are we going to see that we don't like?  Most seem to think very highly of him.

After seeing the HF Horns in the Ned Tourney this weekend, looks like the BMT Move-ins are alive and ready in Horn Nation! Open enrollment is alive I guess!

[72 Pinto]

I guess that's one way to jump start a program!  I'll bet there's plenty of talent walking the Halls of West Brook and United that can't quite get on the floor.  Why not go to Fannett and get some wins?
