The Dragon

I heard from someone who has a son on the team that the kids think the assistant coaches do better than the head coach.  At first I thought these kids just don't want to be coached hard, but then I remembered we've heard this story out of Lumberton before.
Same parent told me that the head coach has a bunch of user names on some message board and posts about himself.  I said no way on that one!

Mitchell loses four starters and wins the district last year.  He loses a division one player and immediately blasts a team that is in the playoffs every year.  When Green, Boutte, or Sigler retires, those schools need to call this cat.  He just gets it done.  Silsbee better watch out for Lumberton.

Those Fannett kids should have a good year.  They have four really good players who have been through some adversity.

People these days want to have life handed to them on a silver platter.  Nobody wants to take the time to build a program and develop it.  Rome wasn't built in a day.  Not really the message to send to kids.

No Joe Sigler???
Any list of top area coaches that doesn't include Sigler is bogus.

Texas football fans thought Mack Brown was underachieving too.  How did that work out for them?  Clay does a fantastic job at HJ.  Imagine how they'd have done had Parquet and the 6'10 kid stayed over there?  I'd say they've lost more in transfers than they've gained.

If you want to be on the best coaches list then you need to have a lot of wins year in and year out.  The scorecard of a good coach is literally wins and losses or win percentage.  Good coaches find ways to get the job done no matter the talent level.  Or they work their way into a position with better pieces, but there are no excuses and you can't knock someone for having talented players.  Comes down to getting wins.
You cannot bash Duane Joubert for having a couple of out of character rough seasons and then praise Josh Mitchell for having a couple outlier strong seasons.  That's a double standard.  I also don't think you can be an "up and comer" if you've been a head coach for over a decade.  Lastly, a top coach in the area should be confident enough in himself and his program not to fish for compliments.  Andre Boutte and Todd Sutherland are probably not too concerned with internet rankings.
 
 

You really think Division 2 and 3 coaches aren't smart enough to tell their players to shade to the kid's only hand?  Seriously, him being a functional basketball player is an amazing feat.

I saw PNG beat the state championship contender HF team in a spring tournament.  It looked like all the superstars were in attendance so I guess PNG must be pretty good this year.  

Somebody seems to be fishing for compliments.  Green, Barrett, Todd Sutherland, and Sigler are all wayyyyy more deserving than Mitchell.  Lumberton did win the district, but they also had the only division one player in the district and he's more responsible than anything.  And you can put a monster asterisk next to that championship because that aint happening if Covid didn't wipe Silsbee out.  Playoffs showed what would have happened if they played again.
I like TXHoops player list.  Spot on.
