There are about 5 GREAT coaches in SE Texas, a few really good ones, and the rest are just guys wearing a whistle.  Guys like Green, Sutherland, Boutte, English, and Sigler are proven in this area.  Davis and Joubert have done a really good job of maintaining good programs over the years, and Mitchell is up and coming and had better ride last season out into a better job, or he will be a lifer there. Other than THAT? I'm not so certain about beyond those that I mentioned.  SE Texas is not as basketball coach rich as one would think.

Joubert program struggled the last couple of year not having the athletes he normally has, I think Davis took over a great program and can we really say the program is better now since Sutherland left?? I don’t think so but some might think so…I think Jeffcoat (LCM) and McDonald from ofield does a good job. I think Mitchell is the the best up and coming coach in the area with what he’s done at Lumberton is pretty impressive. I like Kevin Foster at Big Sandy he’s done really well

Name some of the best coaches around setx area.

I guess not everyone can pull for a perennial powerhouse like Lumbe....oh I mean PNG.  Evadale will be just fine.

I heard Evadale has  players moving to Kelly is that true?

Is it true the school board just hired that guy that got run out of Deweyville a couple of years ago? Deweyville doesn't even really push their basketball program and he wasn't good enough there! 😂

Yeah and got ran out I think at slocum when he was girls head coach,  Evadale in a bind 

This will be like his 4th job in 4 years. Not a good look by the girls coach.

No offense to Wilson and his "uncle", but Paul Sims is possibly the best assistant in SETX.  This is a huge loss for the Hawks and coaching in the area.

Big loss for HJ he’s a great one!!

I stand corrected.  10-16 with those athletes isn't really that great now that I think about it, but I do like Wilson.  WOS needs a coach who will come in and teach those guys to be under control along with really athletic.  Any applicants?  Josh Mitchell would be a good fit.  Does WOS pay enough to pull him from the dynasty he's built in Lumberton?

Why would he leave his hometown to go to WOS? I think that is a backwards move. 

Rumor has it he's headed to HJ, interesting 

That’s a good a hire, coming from a good program and great coach that has groomed him, congrats coach 

Fannett was fully healthy against Silsbee and Silsbee whipped them

Hamshire Fannett's best player not able to play varsity last season, correct? Would he have not made somewhat of a difference in that game?

 

I don't know that this job is tailor made for a young coach at this juncture, as previously thought.  A young coach could do well here, but its a lot of moving parts going on in HF right now, and a new coach will have to somehow hold all of this together which could be challenging on an inexperienced guy.  Gotta figure out how to get and keep their kids at HF first and foremost, then compete with experienced wining programs like HJ and Silsbee in the playoffs.  Williams has been there, and so has Yates. I hear Savaet has decided not to interview for this one, but that has not been confirmed.

Yeah Silsbee put it to Fannett in the playoffs

I’m amazed no one has mentioned Barrett from Huffman in the COY discussion. Guy lost 2 games all season and one was the state championship. He beat some clubs with more talent. He did all this with one really good player and about 6 guys who bought in to a system. 

He’s from the Houston area, that dude is a heck of a coach. I think United was pre-season ranked number 2 and 1 in some polls, they will prob win it against next year green did a great job job, you had about 4 coaches in the area that could have gotten it, all 4 great coaches but I’m not mad that Mitchell got it over those 4...can’t go wrong with Green, Mitchell, Sutherland, or Prouse they all had great years and 2 out 4 of those coaches really had seasons that nobody expected they would have, United and EC they were expected to make a run at winning it all this year.. just like every year they are expected to have a shot.

The kid from dville was a 20/20 guy. Everytime I read the stats he was filling it up.

 

Good honor for a kid from a 2a. 

Yeah the kid could play, he lead that team to history this year.

Two of those guys are in a different stratosphere than the other and the offers they have back that up.  Some odd decisions on this list, but what do you expect?  I'll bet the Enterprise guys didn't play a whole lot of basketball growing up and I'll also bet they didn't see the majority of the teams in the area.  Deweyville kid on the same team as Wesley Yates is ludicrous.  Mitchell over Green, Sutherland, Barrett, Sigler, Rideaux, etc is silly too.  

lumberton beat Silsbee at Silsbee, Fannett got 4th, Lumberton won first district title in school history how is that silly?? Huffman is in the Houston area. Coach Prouse did a great job with that deweyville team and had a great player in menard, haters will hate 

I heard he got forced out because of parents. 

They have pitching for next year also 

Coach Porter has done a jammed up job with such a young team, this team could be special next year. 

With the transfers they have this is a 25-30 win group

What in God's green Earth is this supposed to say?  This is incoherent to me.  I think that the ineligible transfer kid's dad should take this job and lead them to glory.  Revenge tour 2021!

Meant I can see someone from those schools. 

You have Hj,Nederland, United, Lumberton, Huffman, I can someone from there.

Good move!! Great athlete at Nimitz, sucks for the loaded Fannett team next year but I’m sure this is what the coach wanted to make a move like this

Like i said on Facebook: good hire and i was pleasantly surprised at LU making it.

 

Headed in the right direction. Gotta recruit heavily now. 

How is it a good hire when the guy is 30 games below .500 as a head coach, doesn’t make sense to me how people say it’s a good hire. Just because you were a great basketball player doesn’t make you a great head coach.

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

I wanted Lamar to hire tang, Johnson, or maligi. 
 

54-84 isn’t to hot!!! 

Not impressed with this hire!! Should have hired a young and upcoming assistant. 

I think Sutherland or Prouse deserves it just as much as all those guys, even the hull  daisetta coach deserves it also.
