Did I say he did it by himself? I’m just pointing out the obvious that it’s definitely beneficial having a future pro athlete.  He didn’t win it by himself.. but they probably don’t win it without him either.

Do you have any idea how many schools need teachers right now? She and any other teacher could probably go wherever they want.

I’m on the fence.. simply because “slow playing” is often used as a means of strategy for high school teams that lack offensive abilities. I do believe a shot clock would help the game in many situations but make not so good basketball teams lose games by even more embarrassing numbers.
Teams that have good teams and/or good players don’t hold the possession for longer than a shot clock period anyway.

It seems like folks don’t understand the costs of things.  Typical.

Surely you jest.  Remember.. he’s not athletic director.  I’m not sure if he can hire anyone.. at all.  Hopefully he’s at least in on the interviews and making suggestions.  But..

I’m sure Art Briles would bring a championship by the time these JH kids graduate.
Sorry.. I couldn’t even finish typing without laughing.

It happens everywhere.  Bigger ISDs have the luxury of apartment complexes that can be a new "permanent address" at the drop of a hat.  But it's not unique to the metroplex.  What I have suggested previously is to make all transfers sit a calendar year regardless of the reason.  That would hurt some but eliminate the illegal transfers.  Anyway.. just my opinion. 

In all seriousness.. SP could be a lot better in athletics because of Port Arthur.  However, their priorities are Academic UIL and One Act Play.. So that’s the type of transfer they attract.  Which is fine.. but if PA were utilized better they really could be competitive.

I don't think he's underrated.  I believe that anyone that knows anything about basketball places him very high on their list of best coaches around here for sure.  Arguably any area.

I have never nor will ever believe that a few represent the whole.. but there were 100% multiple people on this site saying that TW would bring a title by a certain year.  Maybe it was the same guy that created multiple accounts but it happened.  Like you said, it doesn't matter now as it didn't then.  I'll agree that having an experienced coach like TW was a great hire and BH definitely  benefited from it.
Best of luck in the future.

It's refreshing to see FIVE players on a 1st team and FIVE on a 2nd team.  As intended. 

Division 3 schools beat D1 and D2 teams every year.  Non athletic scholarship should be confused with lack of talent.
Congrats to your daughter on what sounds like an incredible season. 

Lumberton wasn't a decent 4A team last year, right?  They didn't even get in for various reasons.  Meanwhile, Big Sandy went undefeated in district and multiple rounds deep, beat other 4A schools, and yes.. habitually beats bigger schools. And Kountze got a share of their district title in just one classification lower.  Also.. Kountze also beat bigger schools and often does as well.  Even though they're both normally on a different level (over the last decade or so) they still were able to beat much bigger schools last year.  Yet Mitchell (terrible, right?) found a way to get those two wins over area coaches who frequent deep playoff runs.. with a Lumberton team minus their D1 stud from a year before that didn't make the playoffs.
Save the dumb reasoning.. I absolutely believe that Foster is the best coach in SeTx and I believe Joubert is in that conversation as well.  But to imply that Mitchell is a terrible coach who only rode the coattails of McClure is beyond ridiculous.  He may not be the pick for Coach of the Century but he coaches his tail off and gets what he can out of what he has.  People that base success on record alone are moronic. .. In my opinion.

That's me.  Definitely refreshing to see FIVE on a 1st Team basketball list and FIVE on a 2nd Team.  As intended... 
Congrats to those that made it and congrats to those that were in the conversation or even considered to be on the list.

Or you didn't care.. which.. let's be honest, who really cares about the dealings of junior high success other than the kids or parents of those kids.  I'm not trying to be ugly or anything.  I just know that in reality, the successes/failures of the junior high doesn't always equate to what will happen in high school.
