Posted on their website as it “could be tied to it”

No it’s just the stats that he has- you somehow just overlook? Coach of the year twice. Supergold coach of the year once. I have to get on here and back him up because yall constantly berate this dude. I coached against him once, back when I was still in the profession. He came in prepared and ready to go. One of the best in the area

No idea.

🤣🤣🤣 nah I’m not him. I do like Mitchell tho. from my convos- he did not apply

he’s the only coach that has brought lumberton to the playoffs and he’s been 2 time coach of the year at lumberton which we all know is one of the worse basketball schools in Texas. He won at dville(terrible basketball school), spurger(pretty good b-ball school back in the day), and now lumberton. He’s competitive every where he goes. This is always a dumb convo that goes in a circle because yall don’t like the energy he brings and what he expects out of the players. He coaches hard and you don’t like that. Silsbee was healthy that game from what I remember. Same Silsbee team that beat Yates the same year.

Kevin Herron resigned and is going to Poolville ISD. Will be an interesting hire that should get a lot of attention in the bball world.

AAW said He didn’t apply and I trust what he says. In response to Harry Doyle if he had the right athletes he would run a different system. Do you know he trapped Silsbee- in full court and half court when lumberton won the district title? A good coach can coach all kids and will change his system based on personnel. Whatever gives the kids the best chance to win is what a good coach will put them in.

I just don’t think he can run that system at lumberton. He’s been the only coach that has been successful at lumberton. I don’t understand the flack this guy gets constantly when he’s proven to be a winner.

Come on. You don’t think he knows how to press and run? Absurd statement.

I've coached against all of those guys and English, Davis, Joubert, Sutherland, and Green. They all have better players each and every year and when lumberton had one college guy what did they do? They won a district ship at Lumberton and honestly I watched Lumberton play in a warm up game that year and wasn't that impressed with Mclure. Dude got a hometown offer to Lamar. Yall say I'm a Mitchell fan club member but honestly I just don't get the hate this guy gets. Dude gets a little passionate and forces his kids to play hard and you think his off the court "antics" make him bad. I see kids who play hard and love the game and then leave his program as young men because he treats them that way.

It’s no surprise which school it’s easier to coach at. HJ has dudes year in and year out

I’ve been reading too much about how your bff at HJ might not make the playoffs with the studs he has.

2 of the best in SETX battling it out tonight. Mitchell and Jeffcoat. Class acts!

Josh Mitchell winning games. No surprise here

Well it was fun while it lasted

Who’s up next ?

Prouse is a stud. Let’s go!

Let’s go pirates!!!!

Naw im just a Sutherland believer and think the program has took a step back since he left.

It’s laughable that I got on here and thought that bullets wouldn’t be whining about HJ not being in the top 10.

Natural hire to me is Bethea? He’s been at 5 schools the last 5 years. Brings a lot of experience to the table

C’mon Ltown!!

I’m late to this comment but CH didn’t have any issues with Hardin.

I’d like to comment on this Mitchell stuff and to be completely transparent- Mitchell coached me early in his career. This dude got the most out of my crappy team as possible. You either play hard or don’t play for him. If Mitchell had the cats that roll through HJ, Silsbee, EC, etc then his record would be incredible. The big difference in Mitchell and the others mentioned is Mitchell developed a D1 player. He didn’t go out and find one to bring to his school or coach at a basketball proven school. This dude is winning in lumberton, America and is LOYAL! You know how many times I tried to recruit him to a school I was coaching at so he can help my team win. He will not leave. More importantly than basketball, He helped me grow off of the court more than he did on the court. I still call Mitchell and ask for advice in life. The slander around him is ridiculous. For Bullets there is no changing your mind. You continue to have a man crush on Clay over there at HJ and just quit worrying about Mitchell. Dude swims around your dome constantly. I’m willing to bet Mitchell could cure cancer and bullets would be like “I mean he only did ONE good thing!” What about Alzheimer’s??

CH 3 Hardin- 0 How Sweep it is. Go Devils!
