The Cook

Great win for Coach Neal. Congrats Horns....you guys have a top shelf coach.

[quote name="whsalum" post="1164848" timestamp="1327365415"] Unless the process has changed part of it entails a trip to Austin to go before the UIL which is an inconvenienceto say the least.I'll stick to my original statement, some of these guys shouldn't have that much stroke. [/quote]You have to go to Austin only if you appeal the 1-yr probation. If you accept it, you don't have to go.

Jasmine Carrinton (sp.)......Not only best all-around basketball but likely best athlete period in this district.

[quote name="speechless" post="1163217" timestamp="1327076384"] Go search ANY other publication and see how many articles you can find on a coach getting a public reprimand for this action.  It happens all across the state in bunches....but other media does not deem it worthy of a write up. It is a standard public reprimand....nothing more nothing less.  The repercussions for Joubert are not different than ANY coach that has been ejected from a game.  If the repercussions were news worthy why was the ejection not? [/quote] NEW HEADLINE - HJ Alumni get ejected in basketball game....Receives minimum penalty...Amazing!!!!  Unbelieveable, I think not.

[quote name="baseball25" post="1164520" timestamp="1327333950"] lol you are blind, hardin is missing the leader of the team for the past 4 yrs, she is the one that makes things go, District mvp last yr, off mvp year before and new comer of the yr as of freshman its a no brainer!!!! [/quote] So the Barker girl is just taking up space? Now that IS funny!!!! It is pretty evident why your name is not BASKETBALL25.

[quote name="baseball25" post="1163721" timestamp="1327116682"] Hardin best player didnt play and hasnt in 2 games looks like she tore up knee, big loss starting pg for 4 yrs [/quote] EC was missing a starter also. The Barker girl is the best player on Hardin's team, period. It was a battle to the end...literally & EC just outlasted them. If Hardin wins district, Barker is MVP. If EC wins district, Carrington or George is MVP.

Obvious the refs didnt do a good job of warning either team, if both team where still in their huddle on the to. ( it's been said the ref was at a 3 count) [/quote]Bingo. [/quote] Just saw the Nederland team game video for the aforementioned incident & the video makes a compelling argument for the actions of these refs. Video shows 1 ref notifying PAM huddle of the 15 sec horn. Coach looks up, no acknowledgement, looks back down to once again instructing his team. The final horn sounds with no movement from PAM huddle, official claps hands 2 or 3 times ( can't tell if he is speaking) then returns to the floor area. Officials begin play. When you are notified twice, then it is time to play....period. Travis is a good coach but John Wooden he is not hence not above the law.

[quote name="12gage" post="1144870" timestamp="1323701858"] 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 [/quote] With that rant I can rest assured that you don't know why he left for Burleson ISD in a cloud of dust.

PAM only had 2 seconds left to answer and they were so shocked and confused with the previous play that they honestly didn't know what had happened. It was an unfortunate and controversial ending to a very tight game. Would have rather seen it end with either Nederland or PAM making a play against a ready defense and not that way. [/quote] I don't think any coach wants to win that way, but it's a part of the game. BTW-Both coached were warned in their huddles throughout the game, including the time out just 6 secs before the final timeout, where Memorial was warned twice. I missed the play b/c I was watching the Memorial huddle. [/quote] According to Travis Williams and his staff, they received no warning in that last timeout. [/quote] After warning PAM to break the huddle during the previous TO, it sounds like the officials used the "Resumption of Play" rule (NFHS Rule Book 4-38) to perfection. And you only receive 1 warning before the ROP rule is administered, not every TO that you don't break the huddle @ the 15 sec. warning horn. so Coach Williams is right....he shouldn't have gotten another warning. [/quote]I really don't care what the rule book says.  You don't wait til the game is on the line to enforce it.  That SUCKS! [/quote] [color=red]"I really don't care what the rule book says."

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1144847" timestamp="1323699774"] Was he the coach in the early 2000s that took HF really far? [/quote] Yes, he was the driver that took (transported) the team to some successful seasons.

[quote name="MEM" post="1101039" timestamp="1320096473"] Quick question...What happens stat wise in a forfeit? Do they get wiped clean like the game never happened? Does it depend on the school? Who gets to make the decision?  Anyone dealt with one before? [/quote] I know that the UIL takes a dim view of forfeits unless you have substantial reasons (game tape usually) why you left the playing field or court.

[quote name="chambers co." post="1096774" timestamp="1319778810"] all i want to know is when i can watch these bucs on tv like we were promised. These seniors delivered the game of their lives at home for the last time. it was alot of wasted effort if this game is not aired at some time! the game was even played on thursday, a short week of preparation for both of these teams to be on the tv. [/quote]WHOA chambers co., I agree that every kid should have the chance to watch themselves on tv once in their lives. But to say it was a wasted effort is ridiculous!!!!! There is no such thing as a wasted effort when you rebound from an 0-2 start with a new coach & a new system, then grind away at an undefeated run in district because of the coaching staff's dedication & trust in this team. I don't think any of those players would call it a wasted effort. I think you could have cleared the stadium of fans & gotten the same 110% effort from these kids!!!!

Looks like Coach Roy "Wolf" Gholson has been picked to succeed Pennee Hall as Livingston's Head Girls Coach. She has moved into Human Resources @ Livingston ISD.   Congrats to both!!!!!!!!!
