[quote name="im on fire" post="775330" timestamp="1268333046"] the yates team is ranked #1 in the nation....MAYBE JUST MAYBE they are that good....just because the other teams cant hang with them then maybe they need to STEP UP the playing.  if the team is pressing and they up by 70, let em keep pressing until they break it.  just because a more talented team beats another not as talented dont take it out on the better team.....[b]these kids are trying to earn a shot at playing college ball[/b]....but lets tell them to slow down cause other kids cant keep up...try getting into college like that...it wont happen.  i hope they score 100+ in the final 2 games of the season and blow out the other team in the finals...keep on pushing these kids coach...i would rather see these kids kill people on the court then kill people on the street.  if you wanna play yates....YOU BETTER BRING IT.  [/quote] only learning to play one type of basketball, and beating up on weak teams isn't going to prepare them for college basketball.  when they do get to their college teams, they're going to have to completely re-tool their game to learn how to play in half-court offenses and defenses.  they'll be going against equal and superior athletes, and the only thing that they've been taught to do while playing high school ball isn't going to be enough for them to succeed.  in the end it will be up to their natural abilities and the abilities of their college coaches to make them successful. 

i have no respect for what coach wise is doing at yates.  i don't care what color he is.  i don't care what color the players on his team are.  it's about class, dignity, and respect for your opponent.  he doesn't show any of it.  he shouldn't be judged simply because he's black.  in the same token, he shouldn't be defended simply because he's black.  there are people on both sides that make this a racial issue.  it shouldn't be.  either you agree with what he's doing, or you don't.  if the reason you disagree with him is because of his race, you're an idiot, and the same goes for those who agree with him or protect him simply because of his race.  if you can look within yourself and say that you would have no problem with your child playing for him, or BETTER YET, can say that you'd have no problem with your child taking one of his 100-point beatdowns, then support him.  If you're like me, and can't stomache the idea of pressing an opponent when you're up 100, or fouling to stop the clock so that you can score some more, than feel free to criticize what he's doing.  but if you're basing even part of your opinion on his race, no matter which side you choose, your opinion isn't worth the toilet paper you wiped it on.  

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="775230" timestamp="1268327854"] I dont have a dog in this fight but it appears to me that there is bias on both sides, one that doesnt agree with whats happening and another thinking it's ignorance becuase they haven't spent time there. It just looks to be biassed on both parts. I dont think it has a thing to do with trailor parks, wards, woods, or cities, goodole boy's, or home boy's. Its just preception and opinions. I personally hate it when the steriotypes start flying. [/quote] yup.  well said.

that's a tough end to an AMAZING season.  i look forward to following you guys again next year!

[quote name="hj_hawk_60" post="775003" timestamp="1268285495"] That is amazing.. 50 goals in one season is no easy task.. What are her plans after high school.. any college offers known so far? also.. on the 106 goals in a season by the girl from El Paso.. WOW!! I hope they won state, because if i scored 106 goals in a season and we ever lost i would be extremely dissapointed with my team.. thats averages out to about 4 goals per game or so.. [/quote] 106 goals a game meant she was averaging about 5 a game, which means she was probably allowed to score as many as she could against the bad teams... i had games in high school where i had a hat trick in the first 15 minutes or so, but i would then either go sit the bench or go back and get some work in at sweeper. 

i got a meeting rescheduled at work for today so that i could listen to this one tomorrow. :)

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="774735" timestamp="1268261011"] Isn't this coach bashing or does that only apply to certain coaches? [/quote] maybe, but it's from espn, it's not like i'm voicing my own opinion (i don't need to, mr. reilly did it for me)

I am not generally a spiteful man. I pat toddlers' haircuts, donate to the glee club and mostly greet the world with open arms. But when I think of coach Greg Wise of Houston's Yates High School, I become darker than Johnny Cash's closet. The things I would like to do to Coach Wise would curl an executioner's toes. For starters, I'd like to see him dipped in seal butter and dropped into a polar bear's cage. Coach Wise is the hammerhead who believes it's his right to toast other basketball teams by 100 points. Sometimes more. He thumped Lee High School this season by 135 points, 170-35. Wise's team was up at the half, 100-12. And full-court pressed to the very end! Wise is to sportsmanship what tsunamis are to beach chairs. So far this season, he's beaten teams by 135, 115, 99 (twice), 98, 90 and 88 points. Trying to get to 100 points in a crushing of Westbury, his players intentionally fouled to stop the clock. I'd like to clock him. If Wise doesn't stop, somebody's going to get hurt. In a Feb. 20 home game, Wise refused to pull his foot off the accelerator in a 132-68 fricasseeing of Booker T. Washington. Nobody likes to be humiliated, and this includes fans. Like at some of Yates' games, there was fighting. This time it happened in the parking lot afterward. Shots were fired, though nobody was hurt. This time. He's beaten teams by 135, 115 and 99 -- twice. What's it going to take for Houston Independent School District officials to stop Wise? Or suspend him? What's it going to take before Yates principal Ronald Mumphery grows a pair and disciplines his coach? Somebody dying? "These are tough kids from a tough part of town," says Jacques Armant, coach at Lee, which also lost to Yates by 99. "Beatings like this can turn out to be real dangerous." At the very least, USA Today ought to remove Yates from its national rankings -- the school is No. 1 -- as a statement about basic sports decency. That'd be the un-Wise thing to do. This is not war. This is not the pros. There's no bonus for belittling young men in front of their parents and girlfriends. These kids are getting their pants yanked down in front of the whole playground. They don't deserve it. "A lot of my kids went into a kind of depression after [losing by 135]," says Armant. "They thought the game was over, but when you turn on your radio and every deejay is saying how you got beat for an all-time record, it hurts. I took one kid home, and he said, 'Coach, can you please turn the radio off? I can't take it anymore.'" On second thought, I'd like Wise to spend a day as a speed bump in the Lee parking lot. I was unable to reach Wise or Principal Mumphery, but Wise has defended himself by saying he practices pressing and trapping, and that doing anything else during the game would be bad coaching. He's said that all 15 of his players -- 11 of them seniors -- play. "The [third string] deserves the chance to play hard and compete too," Wise has said. Yes, those kids deserve to play hard and compete -- every day in scrimmages against the best team in Texas. In games against schools with no chance, they need to back off. Basketball isn't Greg Wise's personal vanity mirror. He needs to say, "We're going to work on passing. Anyone shoots and they're running stairs at the Astrodome." But Wise won't say that because Wise is about Wise. He's after records. He wants teenage scalps. He tried to break the record for most 100-point games in a row (and failed). He did set the state record for points in one game (170). And I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for the national record of 211. If he gets it, I hope they add an *: *Set by Yates High School, Classless of 2010.

[quote name="baseball25" post="774481" timestamp="1268237371"] Yeah that was in 2005 its 2010 now,we aren't talking about 5 yrs ago, we are talking about NOW, I talked to a EX player  from Lamar that was very successful and I ask him why is lamar playing all these horrible teams, and he said he was thinking the same thing he just doesn't understand it, its getting lamar no where playing teams like this, there freaking RPI was 25 on monday and today its in the 40's there SOS was in the 80's on monday and now its 150, all this does is make you have to win the southland tourney and[b] thats hard to do and just think how hard it is to win REG and tourney champ[/b], because if they win the regular championship they won't get a automatic bid because there RPI and SOS is going to be BRUTAL. [/quote] that's harder than using periods in your posts.
