He isn't going to get his money just yet. There is an injunction in place that prevents them from paying him until at least a hearing is held (next week, I believe).

[quote name="justthefax" post="1387418" timestamp="1363878621"] Thanks Castor ---  why is everyone so hush-hush?  This has taken so long - I want to get excited about the new guy.  Do you have a favorite in the mix? [/quote] To be perfectly honest, I don't know much about some of the applicants. A couple of guys that got interviews I know and have worked with at various places. I think any of them would do a good job.

I know interviews are happening this week. I don't know everyone that was interviewed but do know some (Like coach H above, I'm not saying any names). I do know the majority of the interviews were for HC/AD but there was at least one that was just AD. However, I also heard that it is a very slim (meaning none) chance that it would be separated.

Heard HJ won last night and this morning but have no scores on either game.

That is pretty cool. I may have to catch a couple of games if I get a chance.

For reference: [Hidden Content] Schools may have early release up to 6 times a year for a set list of reasons. Playoff is one of the listed reasons. So if they don't have 6 already on the calendar then they are fine. If they have 6 on the calendar (I have no idea what the school calendar looks like) they will have to change one of the scheduled ones to a full day.

HJ wins 53-38

It is a fact. He is going to Alief Hastings to be the Head Coach and school's athletic coordinator.

Middle Tennessee is expected to announce a move to C-USA tomorrow.

Second, this so called one point win over a 2A school is apparently a big game for HJ. If you don't think that go revisit the prediction thread where almost no one felt HJ would be within 20 points of a "2A" school, who by the way, has already beaten several 3A schools. In fact several of the posters in there are Silsbee supporters. Not sure where that came from, but trivializing a win by someone is not your usual style TV. [/quote] Sorry, I didn't know what a "wackpack" was/is?  Had I known, I would have left the statement alone.  But since we are "Close competitors" with H-J, I was not going to let a loose, cheap shot get by - you know, the smack stuff?  And, I did not trivialize the Hawks' win.  I was just taking a stand on a grandiose statement and attempting to put it in proper perspective.  OK? 8) [/quote] Yep why I added that wasn't your usual M.O. You are usually one of the more reasonable Silsbee guys ;). AFAIK HJ feels they have to beat 4 teams to make the playoffs. Doesn't matter which 4, and this group of boys is fairly confident that they can do it.

So what you are saying is the middle class made the decision. How did that happen? ;)

Just found out this game is at HJ. Original schedule had it at Tarkington but there was a mix up. Thursday will have JV's at Tarkington and JH's at HJ

timing seems weird to me. I'm thinking they would have let him finish the season. But Luhnow made some comments about several players (One being Wallace) that they need to be playing everyday. Since then he has sat out 3 or so games. I'm thinking there had to be some communication/philosophy differences that brought this on earlier than I expected.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1233328" timestamp="1340941329"] Got home in time for the 2nd round and to see all of these foreign born guys getting drafted.  I'm not sure why they even bother with drafting these guys that will never play in the league. [/quote] They draft them and leave them in Euro leagues. It costs the teams nothing and if a player develops there they can bring them in later. IF they draft a college guy they have to bring them in and hope they pan out, then they have to give them a contract. If they don't and they cut them, they don't owe them anything on a contract but the pick is wasted. It may be wasted on the Euro's but you may get lucky and get a guy that develops. The Rockets have just such a guy coming in this year. Drafted and stashed in Europe, now ready for the NBA.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="1231998" timestamp="1340302448"] Who did they end up beating in the championship? [/quote] Twin County Both teams advance to Pasadena. TC beat Gulf Coast 15-7 in the first game. No idea what the score of the Orange TC game was.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1220175" timestamp="1336591782"] According to the Enterprise article, they were supposed to start those today.  So we will probably start getting info trickling in with regard to who interviewed. [/quote] Article says the 10th. I heard second hand of someone interviewing tomorrow, but I do not have complete confirmation of that so I am not going to mention names.

Especially since my inside source told me he either withdrew from Vidor or is in the process of it...

[quote name="bmtball" post="1203560" timestamp="1333036060"] [quote author=tc hawk link=topic=98184.msg1203525#msg1203525 date=1333031978] This thread should be renamed! Morgan Walker vs USSSA, cause thats just what it is! its not the GLADIATORS, because the coaches and parents arent to blame for what he does. [/quote] True.  I run the older Gladiator teams and we have nothing to do with either Nations nor USSSA.  It is not a Gladiator issue.  Rather it is a Nations vs. USSSA problem.  Correct me if I am wrong, but each organization has State and National Directors.  Have a problem, call them. Like it or not, select baseball is BIG business.  In the spirit of capitalism, if you don't like a tournament organizer and how they provide the customer experience to your teams, don't play there.  If enough teams take their business elsewhere, the local organizers will have to either change or go broke.  Arguing back and forth on this board is solving nothing. [/quote] This should close the thread. Nothing else needs to be said...
