[quote name="Aces_Full" post="1412350" timestamp="1370886462"] Let's see. Lumberton was one game from making the playoffs this year (prob much better than most predicted), and the coach gets fired? He has also done a good job building the under levels of the basketball program. Coach Wueller has put them in contention to be playoff contenders for the foreseeable future, and he is[b] replaced by a girl's coach with no experience on the boy's side? Sounds like a good 'ole boy network hire to me.[/b] I hope the AD will hold himself to the same standard that he has Coach Wueller. [/quote] 2 things... 1st... Josh Mitchell was the assistant boys coach at Hardin the 1st couple of years Haynes was there. Assistant to a team that would have no doubt beaten Lumberton in basketball... They split with both Kountze and EC who ended up in regional tourney. 2nd... ALL athletic directors hire people that have worked under them before. They're familiar with what the A.D. wants. It's not "good ' ole boy".. it's just how things are done.
