I've trained/coached/mentored Kasen Harrison since 2013 . He's staying at Beaumont United. Pretty sad grown men take information posted on social media and make posts like this.

I for one never though he would leave anyways i knew it was just the Silsbee kids inducting him into their click “The Wolfpack”. All these kids are closer than some think so sometimes you never know. But it’s just like anything you may hear you discuss it nothing negative was said about the kid so you can elax it ain’t that serious. PS : if he wasn’t good no one would discuss him lol!!!!!

As someone so eloquently put it to me very recently, he’s never seen an objection over a 5’2” kid from Chester.  (No offense meant for anyone from Chester, you can insert Pineland, Fred, or any other small, but assuredly great small town community.)

Yea TxHoops they don’t need get it lol, but I do believe most Hs governing bodies will change the rule sooner or later especially when their best players start bolting to prep schools ,oops I spoke to much already!!!!!!

That's correct. The key is did the family actually move?

In a lot of these cases the athlete "stays" with a friend or relative that lives in the zoned area where he/she transfers to. I have a little bit of a problem with that scenario.

Yea ppl only tend to have a problem with the ones who can play never with the ones who aren’t as good .

If a coach knows for certainty that the athlete transferred for athletic reasons, the coach is obligated to check the box according to UIL policies and regulations. Otherwise that box would not exist.

I would not want to be the coach who doesn't check the box and the UIL rules the athlete transferred for athletic reasons knowing that fact. I would think that would make the coach look dishonest and a type coach who wants other athletes to transfer to his/her school for athletic reasons without any repercussions.

It's really simple. A coach is doing the job properly by checking the box if the fact is the athlete is moving for athletic reasons.

Now, what defines "athletic reasons" can be debated.

Aggies we’ve been around the game for a long time you and I both know it doesn’t have to be checked for athletic reasons if the coach doesn’t want to. I could name kids who have left their previous schools without the coach checking the box but that’s neither here or there I get what your saying though

The coach is not holding the kid hostage.  There are rules put down by the UIL that you must follow.  Transfer without moving, you have to sit out. If we don't like the rules try to change them.

 

We understand there are rules but a coach also doesn’t have to be an a-hole and check the box but he will to hold a kid against their will. And you really think a kid cares about sitting out a year if he is a college level player lol . Ask Elijah Parquet how that worked out ended up at Colorado and i guarantee there weren’t 60-75 coaching watching him in HS ball ....ask TxHoops he will second that .Like i was saying earlier the NCAA has a new rule on transferring. I’m sure down the line the governing bodies in HS states will tweak the transfer rules sooner or later .

I get your argument Mamba, but I think essentially having almost free agency in high school sports opens up a world of potential problems. 

Oh i agree but that’s the way it is now sad but true 

I hear what your saying but gone are the days of old none of that matters ,parents want what they want for their kid. I had this conversation last week, we were talking about playing behind other kids on a talented team which was PA Memorial fb. He said all these kids leaving and going to Nederland and Port Neches and they not getting scholarships why don’t they just stay at PA. I told him parents don’t care about any of that they want their kid to shine so they are gonna put him or her in a situation where they can get their name out there and it looks more attractive being the man and not a backup. Yes they would be a good back up but parents want their kid to play ALL the time not part time. They will sacarfice winning for headlines it happens whether you or whomever agrees with it that’s what’s happening these days. People crying about where kids playjng instead of focusing on the kids they have. It’s the coaches job to prepare his time not wonder who wants to play for him or not. Again let them go you may have a better TEAM in the end !!!!!

That was my thinking exactly. I even talked with Coach Green about it. He said it would not happen. I don't like transfers unless the parents move. Over the years we have had too many transfers from Silsbee to Kountze and from Kountze to Silsbee. A large portion of the athletes at Evadale actually live in Silsbee. I would prefer that the kids play sports in the district where they reside. Of course we know that never happens (meaning no transfers without moving) at places like Yates.

FYI basketball is a global sport, kids move around everywhere. Kids will go play with their friends, summer teammates that's just how it is. Kid's are the biggest recruiters not coaches.

Again no matter the feelings on the situation no coach should hold a kid hostage. They don't own the kid its too many of these coaches that think that way. its not up to a coach to decide what's best for the kid,that would be the parents job. These coaches don't get penalized for leaving a school so why should the kid. If you think about it college coaches cant stop a kid from leaving anymore. To each his own but if it were my kid i'd have some words for a coach if he did that!!!!!!

If I were coach Green, he would be playing JV this year cause I would put on his transfer forms he's moving for athletic reasons. But, that's just me.

Why though if a kid doesn’t want to play for you  let him go , I got a lot of words for coaches  who pull that because they would leave a program for a better one in a minute ,more money and etc etc . These coaches always say it’s about the kids then if that’s the case let them go, you don’t own the kid.

I hope its a rumor about Kason.  A lot of what United would've been doing this year would've hinged on what Harrison would do.  

Kasen is a very good player and don’t get me wrong it would be great to have him with that group , but as I always say it opens the door for other kids who are just as capable of playing. Development is the key and they have kids at that school who can flat out play. 

I believe it all to be rumors until he actually puts on a Silsbee jersey. From my understanding they were just adding him to their click but I could be wrong. If he does leave i expect Glenn Bibbins to take over, he’s a very good defender ,decent shooter & solid all the way around. We all know the motto next up. Projected starters should be Glenn Bibbins,Jakia Oliver,Kendris Henry, Justin Pleasant,Jalyan Subject , that’s still a hell of a lineup imo.

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 !!!!!!
