Last time I listen to that "red" bird.

This young man is the real deal. He always has been! He played in my summer organization from 5th-8th grade. Wonderful young man, great family!

You know, a little "red" bird whispered that same thing in my ear Saturday night at a poker game.
Kind of leaning that way myself.

Lol .... 
when a team wins “ them boys been working hard and played their butts off! These boys are the real deal” (nothing to do with coaching)
when a team loses “ man these coaches are trash and had them unprepared! So much talent wasted” (All the coaches fault) 
our society, our society

The Freshman Bost kid from PNG is for real 

My 2 cents? Find a coach who cares about the kids and works with the kids on and off the court. Do not fall for the hype of the "big name" organizations. Most of the coaches out here want to use your son/daughter for wins and throw them away after their career is over if they are not successful!  It is really getting ridiculous these days. It is all about hype and a status instead of kids getting better and staying loyal. IF A PLAYER IS GOOD ENOUGH, THEY WILL FIND YOU. No matter what team you are on, no matter what shoes you have on, no matter where you are from. Colleges will always talk to the high school coaches anyways....

Negatives and positives to both sides. And I would never take any of this personal. I have no idea who you are! A parent should always do what they feel is best for their kid. Me personally, I wouldn't be butt hurt over a kid leaving my organization. Especially if it is a better look for the kid. I have had plenty of my kids leave my team to go play for thugs and poor role models. That is what makes me sick. I know of a couple coaches that do drugs in front of the kids they coach and do a lot of things they really shouldn't in front of them. Bottom line is most parents will do what they feel is right for their kid. I just hate seeing it happen when the decision is made that is not the right one.

Let me make sure other people understand this.... I have respect for any person that takes time out of their life and coaches the youth.... And bro, you are right about MOST of the shoe sponsored teams... but not all. Coaching talented kids is not hard. Anyone can get a bunch of all stars and go compete with other teams. What are you going to do when you meet a team with even talent or better talent? I see it ALL the time. One team runs plays, the other don't...One team knows how to defend the pick n roll, the other don't. One team boxes out, the other don't...The list is forever long. Show me that you are teaching fundamentals and the actual game of basketball... Then I will be impressed. I am guilty of this myself... I started coaching select ball around 19-20 years old and was always focused on getting the best of the best instead of developing the dedicated kids that would do anything for me or my organization. It is a learning curve and I have met some amazing people doing it and it has helped me learn and develop into a decent young coach. 

I think this years team was their best team. Even though I know that Devon, Jordyn, Bush, and Chris Martin are going to be animals 2019... I do not see them being as deep and complete as this years team. I still say they win at least 1 more but probably two. 

Going into each of the last two years, I have heard how having a team as talented as we have had was just asking for trouble, too many players they are going to have issues with playing time.  Well I have said it for two years and even though we added a few new faces this year, the result has been 2 state finals and 1 State Championship.  This team is special not just because they won that Title but because of the way they have played together and gone through so many trials along the way.  This is a TEAM,  no one player bigger than the others.  Sure they had tough moments but this team picked each other up,  no ONE player had to be the "star".  The star was whoever was playing best that night.  I have never seen a Tiger team that was near the team this one is and I am not talking talent here.  This is why they were finally able to get over that hump.  Congratulations Tigers on a well earned State Championship!!!!  You definitely deserve it!

Throughout the years I've developed a lot of respect for silsbee during the very competitive (albeit one-sided as of late) rivalry between them and HJ.  Since the Hawks are in rebuilding mode, and didn't have a realistic chance of going very far this year (especially with silsbee in their way), I've been wholeheartedly on the tiger bandwagon this year.  With them being as good as they have for as long as they have, they're due for their championship. Listening today I found myself as nervous for them at the end of the game as I've ever been for the Hawks during any one of their countless nailbiters over their many playoff runs in recent years.  When that final whistle blew I was yelling at my phone like a fool.  I just wanted to let Tiger Nation know that this Hawk is behind you guys 100%, and I'll be rooting for y'all just as hard as I would be rooting for HJ if they were in the same situation.  I hope the Tigers bring a championship home to silsbee tomorrow.  With the way your community backs this team, I can't think of a more deserving fan base.   Good luck, Tigers!

59 points is the most a team has scored on Argyle all year... this is not going to be an easy win. Silsbee has ALWAYS struggled with fundamental teams that can break the press and play great half court defense. This is the matchup that losing McCain will be obviously severe... That being said, this is the best team Silsbee has ever had... silsbee wins 78-61

Devon McCain is Silsbee's best player. PERIOD. Silsbee is very deep and have plenty of pieces. Trajan Harris is the best SCORER, Bush and Adams are the best shooters, Newton and Bush are the ultimate competitors, M. McCain is the slasher, Barnes and Jones are ridiculously athletic on both sides of the ball, plus all the defenders they have... it's hard saying who is best but D. McCain is 6'3, athletic as all get out, great vision, unselfish, can score at will, and rebounds! Silsbee will win state without him, but it's a little harder to do so. As long as they stay focused and take it one game at a time, there will not be a game within 15 points for the tigers. They may only have two kids that have committed to D1 schools... but I see many more getting the same love soon.

I even think my exact words were... no one in silsbee's district will beat them the next 5 years lol. So I would still be on track so far. I also said they would have at least two state championships within the 5 year period. Hopefully this year is the 1st
