Head coach at Hearne. Turned that program around.
Made a couple good playoff runs the last few seasons.
Didn’t they go to state like two years before he got there?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but why would they just not renew his contract for the 24/25 school year if he had multiple write-ups? I know teachers and paraprofessionals don't get their contract renewed if their performance is bad enough - are coaches' contract situations different?
Year 1 in a new district you are in a probationary contract and can be let go for any reason. He has been there five or six years, so he can’t be non renewed without cause.

I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties. It could very well be that this was the case at BC. Or not, I don’t know. Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school. some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely. If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”. If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.
Then fire him and non renew his contract and display all this information and write ups you have as cause. Stand on your beliefs and documentation and fire him for not doing his job, don’t hide behind a reassignment trying to make him quit. If he is so bad and written up so many times why. Is he still a district employee, you would think you would fire that person and make sure they are long gone.

New AD comes in and fires the most successful basketball coach in school history.This coach who is one of the most well respected coaches in the area I might add. Hires a new coach to replace him who has never been a head coach before and there is 0 process he is just called and offered the job, not how this business works.

Classic Bridge City. Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada. As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something. Drama at Bridge City is a constant. The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else. Time to move on.
He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

The reassignment was based not just on this incident but an accumulation of write ups from other incidents.
It's my understanding the others received write ups but I could have been told wrong.
Job is only posted on school website in May 2nd, shows up on no coaching job boards until May 21st last Tuesday, by the 23rd ( Thursday) rampant rumors are already out that the LCM guy got it . So a new AD comes in, previous coach is reassigned for an incident that they can’t fire him or non renew him for and they basically hide the job posting with the bare minimum requirements and post it to try to make it legit on the 21st when they already have a coach, but yeah he didn’t get railroaded.
-
If what he did was that bad, why weren’t the other employees punished? Or why wasn’t he fired instead of being reassigned?
-
What do you want him to do? Sit outside their room all night, get a key and just walk in their room every other hour?

From what I was told, this was not the first incident. Robertson had been written up a few times before and it came down to this incident tipping the scale.
What those write ups were about I have no clue.
I was told this was the Supt. decision just as much as the AD.
Must not have played a school board members kid or something. Sounds like a classic case of if admin wants to get rid of you, they are going to find a way to get rid of you.

I am agreeing with you. He coaches tennis also and had kids sneak out at regional tennis. There was girl Coach , an assistant Princple (an administrator in charge) acting as a coach and Randall the head coach. The only one that received consequences was Randall, the other 2 coaches got nothing.
Lol as I expected. I guess not sitting outside of their door all night was him “ not doing his job”

I don't think anyone was "railroaded".
His basketball achievements were not what got him reassigned. The coach did have other responsibilities that he failed to take care of from what I know.
Like in many cases, he wasn't there just to coach basketball.
What were they? If you’re going to put out there he wasn’t doing his job, what wasn’t he doing?
-
Winning playoff games and having huge success at a traditional doormat , let’s get rid of that guy.
-
I am talking about railroading the previous coach at BC
-
Yeah I am sure basketball coaches are just lining up to work for this AD after he fired the last guy for winning too much.

Silsbee played Randall in the TABC Classic this summer.
Silsbee beat Randall by 8 and that was with basically the whole team driving up from 7 on 7 state tournament and playing them that evening. Miller, Bottley, Elam, Johnson and others just played 2 days of 7 on 7.
I see Silsbee winning this one by 10
I’ve got Silsbee winning, but the the TABC stuff this summer means absolutely nothing. So much changed from then to now.

Just looked up his numbers for this season. He is averaging right at 30 attempts per game (560 attempts in 19 games played) shooting 60% from the field. His attempts are 45% of the teams total attempts on the season.
Seems like another Troy House.
I mean shooting 60 percent he probably should shoot it that much.

How many state championships does he have?
His resume is better than 99 percent of coaches in the state. You’re not a good coach if you haven’t won state is a joke of a statement.

David Martinez has been to state twice, think he knows what will and what won’t work in the playoffs.

When we played Coldspring in their gym the other night, I looked at a sign they had up and it looks like they’ve never gone past the second round. Not sure if it was all the way updated or not.

Wow we had been on a roll
A couple of our Onalaska kids said the flu bug got the Trojans and some key pieces were out. Not sure how they knew or if it was true, but I was surprised too.
