If you root for Nederland,HJ,East Chambers or Silsbee Etc etc then you should be the last person crying about kids transferring in!!!

Every program you mentioned has had transfers and has had transfers recently.   Kids have parents who make decisions for those kids, including where they go to school.  The rules are then applied as to when they can play.  Some of the top coaches in this area have had a lot of these transfers, although I have no desire to point out coaches (who didn’t move those kids) or the kids who did nothing wrong in my opinion   
It’s a compliment to a coach when parents want their kids to learn from him or her.  The kids HF has returning will most certainly be better this year.  And like many other really good coaches, their school and program will continue to attract players.  
And lest I be misunderstood, I agree Silsbee, HJ, and Lumberton do things the right way.  The implication, however, regarding HF is misguided.  

I think they have their answer...

Please excuse me while I LOL.  Apartment complexes / rental properties have completely diminished this idea.  As stated above, open enrollment doesn't determine eligibility but RESIDENCE DOES.  The UIL, the district, nor the coaches can do anything about where a kid moves to along with his/her legal guardian.  A change of permanent residency is all it takes for a kid to be eligible to play somewhere else 15 days after the transfer date.  If you don't think this is happening in mass numbers all across the state every year (especially bigger cities) then you're sadly mistaken. 

I seen where Yates is shooting for the the National record tonight for breaking their 2010 record of 16 straight games at a 100 are more... I would hate to be the team playing them tonight 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

All about relationships , not about what you know but who you know.

Can we revisit the ridicule that was received when some on this site poked fun when others said HF basketball was hiring a “game changer”?
I’ll hang up and listen.  
 
Oh and congrats to Coach Rideaux and the Horns!  Huge, huge win. 

“Nobody cares ,Work Harder“.... great job Coach Rideaux!!!!!

Nederland missed a lot of layups i think that decided the game. Is Hefner injured or coming off of an injury. He should’ve taken the game over best player in the gym I really wanted him to score every trip down ,but he’s so unselfish it’s frustrating lol. Of course in a good way!!!

Come one AAW your a smart man ,I’m willing to bet that if this HF admin had any concerns the kid or kids in question would not be playing . To my knowledge the kid in question is playing jv but to my understanding and correct me if I’m wrong they have nonresident tuition for students who don’t reside in the district kinda like HJ does. So does that make them ineligible to play a sport  especially if they going for academic reasons? I just want to know that’s all

And by the way, he has a nice basketball resume being hes won State as a player, was an Asst. to Coach Lee at Central when they made it to State and was on staff with Kendrick Perkins in the negotiation of a contract or two or 3 or so.Yall have a  good one and might would wanna do what you have to to keep him cause it's not that HF is a hot bed place to wanna coach unless your trying to get your feet wet. 

Sounds to me like they were accustomed to losing and it was fine as long as lil player A or Big player B got to play but now that hes there and a few kids decided they wanted to play for him and there parents made a way we have to come up with a way to get player A and B back on the court so this is what's being done to slander his name. I believe some would rather there son play than have a chance to learn the game and become better at it from him. What's gonna end up happening is there gonna go back to the ways of past and after this season he move on cause from what he did at Lumberton and HF so far his stock is risen and the rest are hoping for failure but before he allows you to dehumanize him or his family he will take his talents elsewhere. If you have been to a HF basketball before he got there and are a true fan of the sport there's not alot to see unless your the relatives of the kids playing because I got a 1st hand look lastyear and wasnt impressed whatsoever and watched him play Kountze this year and was highly impressed with the turnaround. You can blame it on the transfers or whatever reason you choose but winning cures all unless Player A and B isn't a contributor to the success in the eyes of the beholder. Great Job Coach T and I wish you the best. Remember, Misery loves Company.

Ive attended 3 HF games and there is nothing ive seen from Tigee as being disrespectful or whatever some of you may believe he is. Just because he isnt your flavor doesn't take away from the fact he loves coaching and loves coaching kids. I see a young coach pouring his heart and soul into a program that was TERRIBLE!!!! The amount of time and energy he has spent trying change years of a losing mentality should be applauded not ridiculed . But thats the society we live in which is truly sad. Understand Lumberton was competitive but thats the mindset some of you like oh we played hard thats good enough , but dude wants to win period. So if ruffling some feathers in themprocess achieves the end goal then so be it. Ask any head coach they are only as good as their assistants so if your assistants are lazy you wont win, hence I guess he did make a difference and Lumberton made the playoffs. Also lets talk about these refs who are suppose to be unbiased but become emotionally involved when their judgement is questioned that says to me you never want to be wrong take your emotions out nobody pays to come see you ref. So say what you heard from your own ears not what someone else told you (ill be waiting). 
This tread was started to be positive but some of you love spewing negativity.
 
TOXIC TONGUES ALWAYS GOT OPINIONS!!!!

Again, I wasn’t there, but I have a hard time buying into all the racist remarks.  Orangefield had an outstanding post player last year that was black.  To my knowledge, he was accepted at the school and by the town people.  And while Coach Tigee was at Ltown last year, I never heard of any racist problems, and the whole team was white and thought the world of him.  I’ve met him and we talked, and he appeared to be a fine gentleman, and my G’son thought he was great.  And Coach Tigee helped him with his plans after high school..  
Now a short word about any transfers to HF.  Rare is the HS in this area, or State, who doesn’t get transfers.   I heard it used to go on at TJ in the 50’s & 60’s.  High Schools today need a revolving door for athletes.  But if a young man was a good basketball player, why .transfer to HF?  Why not EC, United, or Silsbee?  Maybe it’s because they like the new Coach.  I stand by Coach Tigee, as will his players, white, black and brown.

Finally we get to the root of the problem !!!

Some would say Silsbee uses Bmt players too lol...

Gees guys or girls can we get back on topic. This has gotten ridiculous.
also to set the record straight coach Gerald parr in the late 90s and Coach Kenner early 2000s. Had 20 win seasons.
former all state alum.
also both of those coaches would get in player’s faces and let them know when they screwed up.
as a whole too many dang softies.  Learn how to take criticism. Kids gotta learn how to deal with things without parents softening up and making excuses.  
mamba mentioned college and real world. You think high school coaches are too hard shoot college coaches can down right get nasty.  I played for Mike deane.... need I say more.
Im glad to see Hf back to winning. Good job tigee.
