I thought Coach David Green was out of the mix due to the money?  The Silsbee native will have the U in great hands if he comes.  

Hey will get more than Coleman at SC

Some probably won’t, but Mamba will - it’s all about the kids with him.  

I wasn’t crazy about the new school name but if we are going to call it “the U”, I was way wrong.  Love it. 

TxHoops it has and always will be about them as it is with you. I’m salty I let it be known but I’m able to say it with my chest unlike others. When Coach Green is made the new coach I will be there for those kids point blank well unless my alma mater calls lolll...

I didn’t know the circus was in town

Ok I’ll bite. What makes you so sure he will do that? In his one year at Ozen they finished 3rd in district. Yes, they won a playoff game, but many coaches have done that. I’m not being cruel towards your guy, but I’m just curious to know what makes you so sure he will turn Temple around, other than the fact that he is obviously your friend? The fact is, Temple is a job that no one wants anymore, otherwise, there would have been more qualified applicants from that area vying for that job. Again, no harm towards Thomas, he’s a super person, but, this wasn’t Duncanville we are talking about, it’s a program that’s been down a really long time, and Thomas won the gig. That’s it.

First you sound ridiculous because obviously you didn’t watch any games this year. Let’s see losing 3 starters & a prominent bench guy and he finshed 3rd played a talented Memorlal & Cneteal team extremely close. Beat a solid Crosby team who was on a 18 games winning streak at one point won 20 out of their last 22 entering the playoffs. SO NO ALOT OF COACHES HAVE NOT DONE THAT ... and if so please name them we wanna know. Secondly  77 other ppl wanted the temple job regardless of who was qualified enough to apply for it. I believe in him and if he had the backing and resources like they were giving this incoming coach he’d be successful as well no doubt. Stop hating Dickie V you sound bitter bro ...

Are you kidding me?  So BISD wouldn't hire Coach Mike T, but Temple ISD would?  Wow!  They must be holding the job for Coach K!  My co-worker just told me that Temple has been in the football finals and the girls went to state in basketball this year.  Like I said in one of my post, when Coach Sig leaves, I would be happy to have him come back and coach in Silsbee.  

Out of 78 applicants they chose the so called inexperienced Micheal Thomas to be their new head coach and turn the their program around . And Coach ain’t waking thru that door lol...Somehow United incoming principal & the current superintendent didn’t think he could get the job done. As I’ve i always said the grass ain’t always greener on the other side . Mark my words he will bring that program back to life .

Congrats to my good friend and brother Micheal Thomas as the new head coach of Temple HS

Well thanks a lot BISD you’ve managed to do it again and run off another young QUALIFIED coach... you guys are doing such a wonderful job of keeping your young and upcoming talent in the district .

Hot off the press awwwww nevermind !!!!!!

LoL for you to reply the cat is out of the bag sort of....The old head carousel coach stayed put and the fix made sure of that LoL...I'll still support the new hire at The "U"......

Haha you know me to well . But i can tell you it will not be any of the coaches in place now. And like I said some kids will not play and the transfer rate will sky rocket get them papf forms ready. 

Well the leaves on the trees are done shaking and the verdict is in !!!!!

Is Coach Mike T a finalist for the United job?  Where is he a finalist for the other job?  He had a good game plan to beat us but Devon took over on the boards and Ozen couldn't hold the lead.  I was hoping that he would hang around another year if he doesn't get the United job and get the job at Silsbee when Coach Sig retires?  

We don’t know who’s a finalist for the United job and the other job I’m not sure where it’s at.  it’s so underhanded around here they go around behind closed doors doing things it’s ridiculous this is why it’s hard to establish trust among those in BISD. I know he wants badly to be a head coach his first love is where he is at he loves those kids and has great relationships with a lot of them but if he can’t get it here then he has to do what he has to do. It’s a slap in the face if you ask me . Silsbee doesn’t sound bad but y’all like to run and gun, he coaches a lot of ways. Silsbee fan base might go crazy if he goes to spread game lolllllll

Your opinion is respected...My opinion is the old coaching carousel coach that went (28-4 and 14-0) at Westbrook with must talent than United will have this season is desperately needed to build a solid foundation at this upstart program. I have no axe to grind with young coaches but I'd take my chances with an old proven coach to mold this new school into some very special. I was hoping the board of managers were on the same page to make this happen by whatever means...Success will cure most  "WOES" that may occur combining once rival schools.....jmo

And your opinion is respected but let’s be real Elijah Parquet is what happened to WB a top 40 player in the state of Texas and a Division1 player signed to Colorado ,along with a 6’9  Clayton Carpenter who is highly recruited . And lost in the first round to a team that had to play a tiebreaker game to get in. Meanwhile Ozen advanced to the second round with much less talent and lost on a 3pt shot from 38 feet away . Let’s not forget Ozen beat WB and would’ve beat them again had they not lost 3 players to significant injury and they were up the majority of the game but couldn’t hang on. Boutte is the Greg Popavich of basketball it is what is HE’S GREAT his achievements are like  o other.,but some of y’all act like no one else can coach or the job is too big for them to get it done . How does anyone know without giving Paul or Thomas a chance . No one can win big without some type of talent ..

Given this situation of schools combining The success of this program early on will be how player management is handled which therefore will result in team unity = success.  Getting the right guy in the very beginning is KEY.  IMO I have this feeling that the guy they pick will not be the right guy( hopefully I’m wrong)   There s only two i would choose , one not being on the list and the other is.  

The list of applicants that was provided to public was very surprising to me given Texas as well as Louisiana knows the talent level in this area.

I get it they want the big name some of these guys making  decisions are company guys well dressed politicians they don’t want backlash from a fair weather community who barely supports anything anyways . A lot of ppl complain but the attendance for education as well as sports are low from the community.and it’s not everyone but it what it is . No disrespect to anyone but I’m tired of seeing the coaching carousel revolve around old coaches, you have quality young coaches who can get it done if they had the type of support some are giving to these old heads. But hey who am I just a guy on the outside looking in and if they choose wrongly some of these parents and kids are jumping ship. 

Well it seems as if Coach Thomas isn’t sitting around with his hands under his arse he is in the final 4 finalist for another job. IMO they will drop the ball and let another young talented coach leave. Well BISD loss and whoever gets him their gain. 

Great season Jags 

Great season Ozen Panthers you guys fought hard to the end .Coaches you did a terrific job of preparing all of these guys to play this season

Duke lost to Lehigh in the first round in the NCAA tournament a few years back.  Did that make Coach K LESS great? ITS THE PLAYOFFS, IT HAPPENS. 

 

Not real sure why your love is so deep for Thomas and Paul, but WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? won a few games? That's terrific. So you mean to tell me you call someone saying that they will not and should not get the United job a slap in the face? If Boutte decides he wants that job, it will be his. PERIOD. You are being ridiculous to even THINK those two guys should be named the coach just because you are "cool" with them or because they have done a decent job in the start of their careers.  

I hear what your saying and it seems your love runs deep for Boutte as well  so I knew someone would take it as a slight but If you read correctly I said I have a lot of respect for him but that doesn’t be mean he will be great at the new school. I understand all of his accolades but even Micheal Jordan wasn’t himself playing for the Wizards he was a shell of himself . Has nothing to do with being cool with either coach we all have opinions yours is yours mines is mines doesn’t mean either one of us is right. In this situation I’m looking at longevity not microwave results. This isn’t fix a flat situation sooner or later you will need a new tire . My point is whether either guy gets it the other should be the assistant and I think either of them won’t have a problem doing so because they are both about the education,the kids and winning. That’s a recipe for success not a name AGAIN NO DISRESPECT!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I just found out about Xavier.  They call him X.  Said he can fill it up.  

Yesssss he would’ve been a big help. Flat out scorer like Oliver .

Wow!  Major upset!  I didn't think Ozen would win this game.  Crosby had lost a few games and Ozen lost a lot.  Coaches at Ozen are doing a great job to say they lost the Jones kid, the big sophomore post player who can play, and the tall kid with the goggles.    

They lost Derrian Jones(acl), Demonte Madison(concussion),Justin Pleasant l(soph)( shoulder)& Xavier Trusty(jr) (acl before season started). IMO Crosby was decent but they weren’t head above heels better than Ozen. They only had two decent shooters 1&4. #32 was pretty solid outside of that their two best players combined for 4 points. 

This was tough for Nederland

You said a mouthful.   I had the same concerns.  Hate to see it end for the seniors.  Some really good kids in that bunch. 

Let me clarify my statement earlier  because you have some real clowns who will take it and run with it . The disrespect shown to Frank Paul & Micheal Thomas is ridiculous yes we know Boutte is a great coach but those guys bust their ass to make their respective programs better everyday. They love the game just as much as anybody for people to overlook them I mean thats fine because that’s their opinion but the grass ain’t always greener on the other and bigger ain’t always  better that’s all I’m saying.
