I agree that it helps.....heck it is a big help. All I am saying is that those think that schools in a possession of an indoor practice facility should be vaulted into the class of elite simply because they have one, and by the same token, those who don't should be considered "backward" are extremely misguided.

Oh I don't dispute that will be the case. But the fact that it will be the case doesn't mean it isn't crap.

So, in other words, the DFW, which we are told here is SO superior to this area and supposedly proves it by all of the bells and whistles that it creates, is to be rewarded because these same superior folks are too cheap to spring for $60 of gas and too lazy to get off of their fat rear ends to travel to Houston. That is crap!

No, you're not missing anything. IF the sole basis for any sanction against Coach Flanigan is that he violated that Texas Penal Code provision, then it should be the end of the show. However, there are a couple of considerations which may still leave his status in question. First, yes, we know there was no evidence that Flanigan violated any criminal law. However, there may be some TEA or BISD policy provisions that this action might run afoul of. I really don't know either way. Second, history is not on the side of Coach Flanigan coming out of an administrative leave and retaining his position. In fact, I can not recall that ever happening, be it administrator, teacher or coach.

If Coach Woodard were seeking a coaching job, I doubt it would be at the high school level. But despite my earlier off the cuff comment, the BISD AD job probably makes some bit of sense to him. I saw that his wife had a recent health scare and while that turned out well, I could see him him opting for a job which could have him at home more. Also, it doesn't really hurt that the guy who hired him at LU sits on the Board of Managers.

No, it does not mean that BISD is precluded from setting down whatever sanction it feels is warranted.

I was answering David's question as to what the 3rd facility in the area was beside BH and EC and but also wanted to let folks know that it is not a new building like either BH or EC has.

Apparently, reading comprehension is not a priority in the Goose Creek ISD.

Hasn't this poor man taken enough abuse already?

With the evidence they had, if they followed the law this was the only reasonable conclusion.

Vidor, although in fairness my understanding is that their facility is a retrofitted gym with some spare astroturf.

Oh, I did a little better than that. Since you mention that only one team in Southeast Texas had "peed a drop" over the last 10 years, I decided to use the net to see how much "urine" these highly worshiped indoor practice facilities have yielded in the much vaunted and ballywhoo'd DFW area. The following is a list of DFW area schools which had or had access to indoor practice facilities: [Hidden Content] Total number of facilities: 62 Number of state championships over the last 10 years: 16 Number of schools winning state championships over last 10 years: 7 So of the 62 schools which began spring practice in the air conditioning in the DFW, 55 of those schools have the same number of state titles over the last 10 years as Warren, which definitely qualifies them for emergency dialysis. Of course, the answer comes that it is not good enough to have an indoor facility, but that you must have a HUUUUUUUUUGE indoor facility with weights and meeting rooms and hyperbaric chambers and 3 personal masseuses on staff. It comes down to this. These "bells and whistles" are being billed as the golden ticket from the land of obscurity to the promised land of AT&T Stadium. It ain't that easy. It just ain't. It may help you get there, but it won't in and of itself get you there. If you don't have ability to bring into a practice or the desire to improve that ability during the practice, you don't have an elite program. All you have is a program with a nice, shiny building to show folks and nothing else.

Of the 144 bells and whistles which exist, according to the DMN article, at the very least 133 of those facilities resulted in nary a state championship for the main ringers of the bells and blowers of those whistles. Rough math, that means 93% of the indoor practice facilities, which according to the same article is a result of $3.47 million in average expenditures, did not accomplish their ultimate goals. The 3 indoor facilities which are listed being in this area earn the combined 3 schools a combined 0 playoff wins. I don't intend on arguing that all other things being equal such facilities don't make a school seem more attractive. Being realistic, it does. But if you are telling me that I should define a school's program as elite or not by what they practice in rather than what sits in their trophy case, then I will tell you that you have finally, truthfully, told me all that I need to as to why, with rare exceptions, this area has lacked the titles that it claims to deserve.
