Taso and UIL response
Fitch explained, "TASO has a very rigorous Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy."
"Simply living within a school's attendance zone in itself is not considered a conflict. Imagine if every official living in the DISD attendance zone was excluded from officiating any DISD game," Fitch wrote.
"This would significantly dilute the pool of very qualified officials. After our inquiries, we have determined that the Line Judge has not violated any of the items in the TASO COI (Conflict of Interest) policy," Fitch noted.
University Interscholastic League Athletic Director Ray Zepeda responded to Elizalde in a separate letter.
"It would be impossible to preclude someone from officiating a game for a school simply because they live in that city or town," Zepeda said.
"For example, officials that live in the city of Dallas called four out of the five rounds of SOC's playoff contests prior to the 2023 state championship game," Zepeda noted.
"In conclusion, the game between Dallas South Oak Cliff and Port Neches-Groves was a very well played, well coached, competitive game that featured two very storied programs in Texas high school football," Zepeda said.
This outlines how incredibly stupid the grievance was. DISD didn’t file grievances about the Dallas-resident referees that reffed 4 of their 5 playoff games on the way to state. But suddenly they get a ref that isn’t from Dallas and it’s the end of the world.
And, it makes clear what a lot of us already assumed, which was that South Oak Cliff had all the information needed provided to them in advance. This was just a pitiful attempt to gripe about losing.

Nederland is a better than job than alot of other jobs in that area because it is 5A D2. I am not disrespecting PNG with this statement but you aint running into Desoto, Carthage, Silsbee, Jasper, Aledo in that division.
PNG hasn’t lost to Jasper or Silsbee in years. DeSoto, Carthage, and Aledo are a different story. But I’m confident we would have beaten Carthage last year.

1 and zero. PNG has 2 since he got out of yalls division though!!!
Do yall like watching PNG waltz into State game??
Three appearances and one victory in 48 years, after taking massive steps forward in training, condition, and coaching, and only following years of getting donkey stomped by better teams , and we finally become one of those better teams and now it’s “waltzing”?

Ahhh. I think he was talking about Prieto at Crosby. I’m not sure if Nederland would be an upgrade over Lake Worth or not, I’m not familiar with that program.
Westerberg would be good, regardless, except we’ve already seen his ceiling at a school like Nederland. He improved BH, but that meant bringing them from first round exits to third round. Prieto would be much better, I think.

I don’t think we can afford Westerberg!
If we’re talking Westerberg, he only beat PNG twice (he was 2-2 all time against us). We beat BH in 2021 (Westerberg wasn’t there). BH won by 5 in 2019. The only decisive win was in 2020 (54-28).

Do you blame him after the way PN-g treated him?
No - It‘s only a guess though, as to his mindset. But I agree with those who would prefer a defensive minded coach, regardless.

Want to make a splash, then there is one name and one name only…Faircloth! 😬 Y’all tell me a coach that will bring in a staff and be more motivated to destroy, embarrass and rip the soul from PN-G? 😂😂
someone get him on the phone!!
#MakeItHappen
Faircloth could do great things at Nederland. My guess is he wants to put Mid County in his rear view mirror for good though

They are doing the search nation wide… they are putting a committee together. Hearing rumblings they want someone by April 1.
That seems late.
Not for nothing, but there’s a certain former 2x state champion coach from West Orange who Nederland might consider.

Come on man, he learned his lesson. Now he will be more motivated as a football coach to redeem himself at Nederland
Wait, so we lost an effective coach because of over-celebration? That sounds like something that should be more of a, “Hey, don’t do that anymore,” situation. Unless there’s more to it than is public.

Is this confirmed?

So, this wasn’t “retirement.” It was “resignation.” I wonder if he’ll put his name in the hat for coaching jobs elsewhere?
-
Now, the question becomes, what process will NISD follow to select the new coach? Will they follow PNG’s and try to get a handpicked young guy with pedigree? Will they simply open it up statewide see who shows up? Or will they go in-house again?
-
Congratulations to him on a long and effective career, all at the same school. He was a part of the most consistent era of success against PNG, as well as several good playoff runs. Good luck to Coach Barrow in whatever he does after.

I’m not sure what you mean by “perception is reality.” Are you trying to be profound, or simply be rude in some way? It doesn’t land as hard as you seem to think it does.

The question still hinges on what the coaches knew. Because if the coaches had access to the full information and still agreed to the contest, under the rules you shared above, the coaches have agreed to and therefore waived the restrictions. I have a hard time thinking the coaches didn’t get the refs’ bios.

This.....
Does a ref have a duty to recuse himself? I haven’t seen the rules of personal conduct, if any exist, for refs. Or, is his job to present himself for work and it’s up to the coaches to properly review the material in front of them? If Coach Todd had done his homework, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. It’s Coach Todd’s job to strike refs, not the refs’ job to strike themselves. Todd had the same information available to him as any other coach. There’s been no allegation that the refs’ identity was concealed from one or both coaches. Coach Todd just didn’t do his job. In fact, based on his own description of the events, HE is the one who wanted the Houston chapter.

I watched the interview with Grimes and Todd did say he didn't agree with the calls, (shocking a head coach not agreeing with close calls going against his team) and he said he didn't agree with the official that lives in Groves being on the crew...but if I recall he also said that was on him that he didn't research the crew thoroughly
I don't recall him using the term rigged or robbed but its been several weeks since I watched the interview too
Todd didn’t use those words. In fact, he comes off quite reasonable in that interview, for the most part. The word “rigged” is in the title of the video. It’s not my reputation at stake, but if I was the Houston ref chapter, I’d consider hitting that YouTuber with a defamation suit.

I heard North Shore is looking for a week 1 and 2 team to play.
If North Shore would have us, I would love for PNG to play them. It would be a great way to see size and speed far superior to what we’ll face in the playoffs. But, I’m going to surprise myself and echo Coach Izzy - I don’t know that North Shore benefits that much from playing us, in terms of playoff prep. We have our own significant size on the line, and we’re going to be well-coached, so we can help them get ready for the regular season, but I don’t think we’d help them get ready for Duncanville. But, let’s pretend it can happen and schedule:
PAM
North Shore
Summer Creek

Hmmmm. Well my comments aren’t to the thread starter but to the ones who question the culture of Nederland. If we had an equivalent coaching staff to PNG we would not be state contenders.
Half the people questioning the culture of Nederland are from Nederland. Most of the PNG posts are in support of Nederland. It’s the weirdest thing - We want our rival to be better. That kind of makes us Nederland fans - And, as fans, we want to figure out what’s missing. Something is definitely missing. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’d rather blame culture than blame the kids.
Ideal 2024-25 Pre-District Schedule for Your Team
in High School Football

I wish PNG would schedule like this. It’s not a golden bullet, and it only really helps you go deep in the playoffs if your team is already good enough to build from the butt-whoopings. But if we could schedule something like Summer Creek/PAM, North Shore, and Astascosita, we’d really help ourselves out. We’d likely start 0-3, or 1-2, but who cares? It’s about getting ready for the playoffs. And if we could make the travel work, I’d love a matchup with College Station or Aledo.
