So have you heard of a Coach by the name of Andre Boutte? Has more state titles than anyone on your list and TWICE as many state tournament appearances than many on your list of "best SETX has to offer". And to criticize Joubert by saying all he wins with is talent, is quite possibly the dumbest statement on this thread.  I think you should re-think your statement.

I am a school administrator locally and won’t divulge who, what, or why, but he (Yates) and I are close. I will leave it at that. This is not Walter Yates. I understand the urge to poke at him because you think I am him but I assure you I’m not. He’s a good guy that can actually coach, but had some tough growing pains early on in this coaching business. I think he is better suited as a college coach, but he’s changed quite a bit over the years. I take up for a lot of people on here in case you didn’t notice. lol 

Are you guys seriously not mentioning Coach Boutte ON PURPOSE? LOL

Yes. You have TWO pure basketball guys with head coaching experience, and you hire an assistant from Crosby with no head coaching experience? Its clear what they were after. A football guy.

Ok, I get it. You are aware that Yates and Williams were also Ozen assistants under Boutte, when Rideaux was a player there, before becoming head coaches right? They have VERY similar approaches and have all been effective as head coaches.  They did interviews with those guys today, so I guess it won't be long now. 

You know what, you are right. Seriously. Everyone deserves second and sometimes third chances to make things right. I know for dang sure I have gotten them in the past. Thanks for the correction. 

I'm even MORE amazed that the UNDEFEATED 5A state championship coach is not coach of the year....THAT IS RIDICULOUS.  Congrats to David Green from Beaumont United on a perfect season, because its obvious that people in SE Texas think that all you did was roll the balls out and won state! Utterly RIDICULOUS.

Great move for Coach Rideaux! Best of luck to you young man!

That is quite possibly the DUMBEST statement I've seen on here in quite a while.  First of all, Lamar was in dire need of a figure that could attract top notch talent AND have the experience to direct the program to greater heights.  This was actually the PERFECT hire! Wait...were you wanting Lamar to hire a WHITE, young, assistant? Yeah. That's probably it.  When will you people learn? SMH

GREAT MOVE! Could not have happened to a more deserving guy! Wish him well!!

Rest in peace, my friend.  Condolences to the Davis family.

No. he came out in 2007. (Kris Richard)

If you fools jinx this team by already talking about greatest ever, I’m never going to forgive you.  At least let them get one under their belt first. 

I think its just program and leadership consistency over the years. Then it just becomes an expectation to achieve at that level.  The only thing in SE Texas on the boys side that was even remotely close to that was Port Arthur Lincoln. It was always state or bust. That can be a double edge sword however, but it establishes an expectation of excellence for the kids and coaches. 

Obviously they didn’t play 24 games last week.  It’s a weekly award, recognizing coaching going into postseason.  

That's because there are no regional tourneys this year. it is very unfortunate though.

Looks like the "plans" to bring in an area HS coach have fallen through again! LOL  Congrats Coach Price! 

THATS a huge lie! Wesley Yates III attended BISD schools since ELEMENTARY school, and his entire family is FROM Beaumont! Try again, sir!

My thoughts EXACTLY. Thanks for your honest response.

BINGO...TEN thumbs up, my sentiments EXACTLY

Ok. Just remember you heard it here first. Hightower will win the region again. United will be favored, but Hightower has the only pro on the floor.
