[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167707" timestamp="1327850737"] BUT after NEXT week's trips through Beaumont...... [move][size=18pt][b]2!![/b][/size][/move] The NEW streak!! 8) [/quote] Dickie- I would like for you to tell me exactly what is going to happen next week.  Will Nederland lose one game, two games?  Come on now, you've got to let me know.

A lot of things have to fall into place correctly to win a state championship and there is more involved than coaching.  Dickie- I will suggest to you that Lenny Wilkens was every bit the coach compared to any otherNBA coach you wish to mention and yet he had no championships.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167783" timestamp="1327864668"] Question...How does Nederland/PNG get FRONT PAGE of the PORT ARTHUR NEWS, and PORT ARTHUR MEMORIAL gets page 3? ??? ??? [/quote] It's the 27 game winning streak- you know- the one that troubles certain people

Soulja- I would rate you far ahead of the others based on your dunk-o-meter knowledge/experience

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1167756" timestamp="1327860173"] I gave up coaching after the 2010 season. You noticed the program got better too ;) [/quote] If you would have coached an AAU team and enticed the best players to come play for you, you would have had much more success

Well, what do you expect from the redundant one?

What isnt fair?  If a lot of people show up for games, it happens at every gym in the district.  People were turned away in Silsbee the first game and will be turned away at HJ too.

Has it been a problem in years past where a lot of people don't get in or is it just visiting fans [/quote]I think my son and I were the last two in the gym last year, before they started closing the doors.  This was early in the JV game (I think).  So I would say that people from both sides didn't get in. [/quote] That was my point from other post on other threads it was insinuated that HJ hasn't been the best of host in the past...to me it's just simple it's first come first serve...people from both sides don't get in at either place.. If you show up at 7:30 dont expect to get in no matter who you are.. [/quote] I wouldnt worry about the "host" inference.  Opening doors and closing them when the gym is full happens at both places and one does not open/close better than the other.

I will accept if you will go ahead and schedule that golf bet/match with Sleepy and/or Lazeek

Perhaps they are a victim of UOS

Santa- The neighborly thing to do would be to offer to handle those chores for him

[quote name="ST413" post="1167503" timestamp="1327783988"] Getting further in the playoffs involves a lot.  Luck of the draw may play a big part this year with all the good teams in region 3. The Hawks size has them built to go further.  The Tigers will have to play their best every night or their size may be the deciding factor. [/quote] I think you may be correct.  But, on the other hand, there are a few who contend the word luck or good fortune is never a consideration.

What is the talk in Silsbee about this possibly happening next year? I mean, it can't be something people are looking forward to.. [/quote] I heard (I'm making this up) that Silsbee is converting the lifting program to a boxing program so the players will be prepared to face LaMarque - and the consequences - in any regional competition.  ;) :D [/quote] LOL ;D

HJ just might be too much for Silsbee. Most HJ people call Silsbee's last win LUCKY! [/quote] If silsbee would have won without the buzzer beater h-j fans would have said Silsbee cheated. Now, Since silsbee won with a buzzer beater they  are just lucky enough to win. H-J is a school of excuses. Silsbee won fare and square luck or not. If silsbee wins in H-J what will be the excuse? [/quote] If Silsbee wins again, then there ought not to be any question about who is best head to head.  The only question then will be who gets further in the playoffs.

Its nearly impossible to hate someone you have never met.  For all I know, you might be the most amiable, friendly, congenial fellow in the world.  However, having never met you, all I can do is draw conclusions about you based on what you say and the same applies to you when you read my comments.  I can see where you might consider my comments to be a psychiatric session.  Can you see where I might consider your hot dog-Dr. Pepper offer to be an intimidation effort?

Yeah, sure.  I guess we can just let anybody who has read all of your posts come to their own conclusions about that.  Since you are interested in "learning", I am going to suggest that there are a couple of things you might pick up on if you sit close to the bench 1.  The staff whom you will be seated close to will never try to create the perception that they     somehow are smarter and more enllightened about basketball than anyone else.  They have     sufficient mental faculties to understand that there are many, many, many knowledgeable     people in the basketball world and that there are hundreds of ways to "skin a cat" . 2.  The staff is also FULLY aware that there is only so much that can be accomplished by them     and that the players play the game . 3.  They are fully aware that, considering the talent level currently at HJ, there are MANY good     coaches out there who could have gotten the same or perhaps better results than they     have. 4..  In spite of the current success they are enjoying, they will never try the "I am smarter and       more experienced than you" approach in anything that they do. (Which, in the end, is very        failed approach that attempts to mask ones own insecurities.) I wish you success in your learning venture.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167408" timestamp="1327761655"] Won't miss this one!  8)...I may get there around 3:30, hit up ole DQ, then secure my floor seat right next to the HJ bench....may learn a thing or two sitting that close to greatness..... ;) [/quote] As soon as your record is half of what Mr. Sutherlands is, perhaps someone ( at least one or two people) will see the humor/disrespect.

[/quote] Correction;  Lamarque going to 3-a will require more Sheriffs staffs in all 3-a towns

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1167015" timestamp="1327703042"] The greatest advice I ever got was when a I heard a coach say, " they put they jocks on just like you do." [/quote] Very good quote and very true.  I think the only difference is that after HJ put on their jocks, they went to shoot around while other opponents reported directly to Universal Off Season after adorning theirs.
