Memorial is loaded with young talent. Most of the Beaumont talent is at Ozen and Central. Easy pick

The statement that all of the talent in Beaumont is at Ozen and Central is a fallacy. Westbrook usually has more talent than BOTH of those schools combined!

Just now, team first said:

Legit question, if Boutte had know last year he was not going to be the ad at mem, would he prefer to be coach at mem or west brook?

Memorial. Hands down. Only place he would rather be is Hebert (Ozen).

Only difference being, "James Gamble" didn't coach at West Brook  So I guess a coach would be moving to West Brook for "James Gamble" to return to his old school on Fannett Rd LOL

He didn't coach at Memorial either, but he was a legend at Lincoln...Get the parallel? Lol

I heard the job was going to be open last season...rumors rumors rumors. and then the favorite picks were between English and Daddy Boutte. is there any possibility of this coming true?

It's all about timing...the job is open now officially. Let me ask you this....if PA Memorial were open and James Gamble was 30 years younger and wanted the job, would it be ANY QUESTION about who would get it? Same situation here...

Man, they had a freshmen coach a couple years back, can't remember his name, but he was good.  I believe he came from the Brian English coaching tree.  He would be a great hire

What? Who? Freshman coach? NO SIR.

So if AB applies, MS and FP have no shot  LOL

See if you can follow me:  My VERY EDUCATED GUESS....Scenario #1, If Coach goes to admin, then admin will become coach at school "A" and Coach will leave school "D" and go to school "B".  Scenario #2, No movement, then there is only ONE choice for school "B", unless he turns it down for some reason, but I don't see that happening, therefore, it would be a FAR GONE conclusion, because he would be the obvious target for this job, and no current head coaches should even bother to apply. Clear? LOL

Not sure how much more official you need.  The job is listed on the TABC website.  

OK so it IS done...He made a soft retirement announcement, but he (Simon) has changed his mind before. Now....we wait on the dominoes to fall.

If it does come open, I know two area head coaches who will be applying.

Well, that all depends on where the dominoes fall as to even if those two current head coaches should even BOTHER APPLYING. It would be a FAR GONE conclusion.

It's not officially open YET, however, once it DOES open there will be some MAJOR movement taking place in BISD, due to several domino situations taking place over this spring period... I've already said too much....lol

No relationship between the two.  Particularly since HJ does not play real basketball.

No, but they certainly have an up and coming "communications program" that's to DIE for....LOL

Believing everything you read on RCS web site is about as smart ad believing everything you read on this web site.

One thing I can say about my guy Jim Hicks is that If it aint TRUE, he will NOT put it on his site. Now whether it actually HAPPENS or not is one thing, but if he posted it, IT CAME FROM THE SOURCE....Believe THAT!

Looks like the HJ "Communications program" is in full effect.....lol

Just now, BlkMamba24 said:

Not an accurate statement i dont think it is anything underhanded going on...

That's why I was asking. Why would he move Jalen to HJ? They aren't MOVING to Sour Lake. I was just wondering what the motive behind the thought was.

Isn't Omar (his dad) using the gym at HJ for his AAU program these days? Hmmmmmm.  Sounds kinda fishy to me....SMH...And they SWEAR there are no dirty dealings going on in Sour Lake...yeah ok. I wonder if they are developing a new Communications Program over there next year...lol

You're bringing up old stuff now! Man, that's no fair...I used to be a young big mouth on here...I'm older now...more mature...but still a bit of a big mouth, but a different type, if you will...LOL

Are we counting participation ribbons now?

No, that's for little dribblers coaches...I actually own real gold rings...I win...that's what I do...boy you are a PRO at hating, huh?

Funny, but in the presentation of the HJ '91 team, it was noted that Todd Sutherland's state titles included when he was the assistant on that team.

Thank you, sir....great point...

Rings as an Assistant don't count.........

How about NCAA rings? Do they count? Conference Championships, Elite Eights, Sweet Sixteen? Not a lot of guys have the ones that I do....YOU went there, I just responded...At SOME point the hatred toward me MUST stop! SMH...

Record was 13-17   Yes young team, but is that considered good now 

I thought they were above .500, right? They were in 1st place with three games to go in district, I know that...Let me check that record, because I didn't think they were overall below .500...Besides, what do you have against Coach Coleman? Were you wanting that job or something? Just asking...

I wonder at times if we don't all lose some perspective on how competitive our area and particularly our Region is.  We beat each other up on this board (mostly in fun) but we should be thankful for the players, coaches and parents that put so much time and $$ into creating a good competetive environment.  It is frustrating to see a team like Levelland who frankly was not very good getting an opportunity to have a State Tourney experience when if they played in districts in our area they might not make the playoffs. There's no real solution and every Region will have down years from time to time  but maybe it's time to take a minute and appreciate what we have and that is quality HS sports competition that everyone should be proud of.  

Region 3 went 0-6 as far as state titles this weekend. We have a tough region, but for some reason that Dallas region is KILLING us.

But will Boutte take it, it will have to be real money! I mean real money

I think the money will come no matter what. I would have to think at this point in his career its about the overall situation...What's best for him right now. He knows how to build and will have success wherever he goes, but I don't believe that money will be a problem.

Now if someone wanted their floors to be tiled, and its between Lazeek and Coach English, I would choose Lazeek ALL DAY!

Real question is if Dickie V and English wanted the job....who would get it?  NO BRAINER!!!

Dickie V! What did you think? I got RINGS! You better recognize, son!

Its a remarkable accomplishment to have those guys all pursue their PhD's like that.  They definitely set themselves up for greater accomplishments in their future.  Great story.
