I would really like to congratulate the HJ boys on a very successful season. You really fought hard, no matter what happened in the game you gave it your all. On the other hand, I would like to voice my opinion on the poor coaching job that was displayed during the past few games. I have been watching HJ basketball for quite some time and I do not understand the thinking of the coaching staff this year. Yes they have won a few state championships but how did they win. They did what they had to do to win, they played who was needed to win. Nothing against some of the boys on the team but hey you do what you have to do to win. If certain players continue to fold under pressure or continue to turn the ball over then why would you continue to put them in those situations when you have players who can get the job done sitting on the bench. Numerous people have expressed their displeasure, but no one says anything, scared of the almighty coach, or just saying hey I'm glad it isnt my kid. I hear that a senior is on the team who may be the second or third best player on the team but never played, he was utilized to just playing only a few seconds a game. I heard that the reason was because he did not play last year, so what!! You should not hold it against a player for not playing, isnt that his decision. Then it was said that he didnt know the offense, well how could he learn if he never played. Basketball is more than about who you are friends with or how much money you have, it is about trying to do what you can to win. The coaching staff in my opinion did not do what it took to win, how long will you just use your one or two players, get them some help. Yeah Silsbee won and these things really dont matter, but I wonder how the game would have came out if these things were done. If this were Ozen, Kountze, East Chambers, or even Silsbee if a player just couldnt get it done but they had a player or players who could, who do you think would be playing. Some may think I am wrong but I know basketball and I am just calling it like I see it.
