I get that United is a great program, but what would make playing basketball for BU more advantageous than playing for Silsbee? A player of Jones' caliber will merit the looks from colleges regardless of where he plays ball.

I was on the third row of section 232 in the stadium rooting for WV. I was also very optimistic to see what could be done with WV considering the amount of returning talent on both sides of the ball for WV. Never dreamed they'd run off the coach who finally got some "respeck" on WV's name and replace him with a guy who will have to try and replicate that success with little to no offseason. Good Luck!

So you actually think coaches would back out of applying because of one player who would have only been there two more years transferred out?
If that is the case, Silsbee does not need any of those coaches.

Yes, too much activity in the forum. It is much better when no one comments 

Perspective is a hell of a thing.

Me too. Never heard a bad word spoken about him and he seems to be very successful when working with few resources. 

I have never heard a credible person say a single negative word about Day. Almost everyone I know with insight thinks very highly of him.

More like, he was terminally undermined from the start and he recognized it immediately. 

One of my favorite things each year is the fan bases who hoot and holler to run their current coach off, then when the coach leaves, they end up with someone they are disappointed with. Gonna be a blood bath in WV when they lose in the second round this year with several returning starters on both sides of the ball from last years state finalist team. Also, the coach in Gunter is gone, so this may be the year for WV.......or could've been the year if they had valued continuity over chaos. 

You are likely right. Will be among the weaker talent pools for CS standards in recent memory and will also be dealing with a district in financial free fall with no athletic budget. 

I think it's weird you get enjoyment out of these situations but I see what your saying. I've never been one to advocate for Rob leaving although I didn't agree with everything he did for this very reason. It's like the school board just goes "any-many-miny-moe." Hope I'm wrong and things work out really well 

The reality is the guy is very experienced at being as successful as possible at talent poor and money poor districts. According to some of the things I've read on Colmesneil, it sounds like he is the perfect man for this job.

I was joking with my "listen to the OC comment". Based off the WV posters in this thread it would seem they think they lost to Gunter because last year's HC didn't listen to the OC and open the offense up. I ain't from WV and do not think they improved their situation with this hire.
