my bad the cowboys was playing #oneanddone....too soon???? LOL

Admin didn't wake up said day and say...I think I'm gonna force the AD=HC out today...This was in the works, with a plan.

My guess (hope) is Barrow and the Super have been talking about this for a few weeks. Everyone sees the writing on the wall, most of all those two. If so, it could mean steps were quietly being taken in the background to identify solid candidates, beginning before the announcement. 

It seems he did nothing wrong, according to the powers that be. Case closed.

Hands off!

She really should have had her facts straight before writing a formal letter. They got their info off of social media and went with it. I bet she was wishing she could get that letter back to do some editing, when she found the ref that made the PI call wasn't the same ref.

Or PNG's......

Coach suggestion, assuming he’d even be available, for Nederland: SOC’s defensive coordinator. 
 
 
 

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.

Well that just pisses in DISD cheerios and agenda lol 

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.

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. 

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”?

That seems late. 
Not for nothing, but there’s a certain former 2x state champion coach from West Orange who Nederland might consider. 

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.

Someone posted his taso card on the internet including his home address, so someone had it.  Maybe they didn’t notice until after the fact, but they do get the refs info cards. 
 
 
h. If the official has a child in school in one of the involved schools, or a child who graduated from one of the schools within the previous 2 years.

This is the only one I would question.  It says school not district.  His kids are younger, so not in the “involved school.”  

Westerberg lost to PNG in 21

Thanks for mentioning that highlight, I saw that live a very special sports/life moment.

I’m hoping to find one that’s 0-0 against PNG when the hire is made.. 

Administration, pay attention:  The number one thing we need to remember -- No more "Home Cooking."  
Now, everyone knows how sensitive I am (Grin), If anyone can show me an ex Nederland person that as a head coach has won at least two State Titles in a classification 3A and up, then we'll talk.  

I was told he always wanted to
coach for Big Ned
