Separation Scientist

Lake Creek left the bases loaded in their last at bat of both games.  I’m sure they will be thinking about the what if’s for awhile.  

So from 14.2’s massive rumor mill. You must just sit around gossiping all day. TW’s departure has BH imploding! Coaches leaving, parents jerking their kids out of school! It is pure panic at the Hill! I’m selling my house, putting my kids in dreads, getting them a couple of tats  and moving to Crosby where at least they care about football. 

Not to mention there’s plans for 4-6k homes  by 99 in the city. The growth is skyrocketing right now almost to a danger point.

I did not imply that "all" apartments are Section 8. I mentioned trailer parks, too. Its about the tax base, and I thought I had clearly stated that.
As far as BHISD buying tracts ups, maybe they ARE trying to lessen traffic, not in the roadways but in the hallways of their schools. BH is building on as fast and furious as they can, so do you think they want to be flooded with hundreds and hundreds more students before the new construction is even complete? Not everything is always about football, believe it or not. Sounds like prudent planning, IMO.  

Yes it was. Game was a scoreless pitching dual through 6, then previously undefeated Lake Creek made some fielding errors and BH scored 3 in the 7th. It looked like the game was over then, but BH pitching got tired and walked the bases loaded with no outs! Relief pitcher then recorded 3 consecutive K's to shut the door on Lake Creek. Game 2 Thursday evening at 5.

It’s laughable at this point. I’m going to lay back and sip my Gin and Juice in my fancy house, be happy that we have no apartments with my Trump hat on, and flick my nose to all of the poor people that trash Barbers Hill, but are jealous for some odd reason of what we do.😂

Good lord. Also I heard that the super keyed TW’s car and hit it on his wife😂 and the super only allows white kids to wear their hair as they may. Other rumors to come stay tuned.

@TradenupBH called me bitter and a smart*** so I went back and pulled up some threads re. The TW hire. There are plenty of “Watch out, here comes BH!” posts out there.
But not by @TradenupBH  .  He has been consistent and realistic throughout.
I stand by my opinion. Quite a few people missed or were unrealistic.
But he didn’t.

lol good one crosby fan. One of those "asking for a friend" posts. 

NOOOOO! Not the Ferrari!

I have a kid that plays.  I am his biggest fan and very emotional in the stands. I try to distance myself from the emotional here. I attempt to be more analytical.  And also remove biases from my thought process.
Compile the following Crosby data points from spring 2019:
- Superintendent ousted. (Leadership)
- Financial scandal. (Uncertainty)
- Significant reduction of force. (Resources and Uncertainty). 
- HC leaves (Leadership). 
- New HC has no HC experience (Uncertainty).
Now, knowing all this and not what you know now, take yourself back to that summer. And tell people that Crosby will be playing for a state title in 2 seasons.
That statement, while not impossible (obviously), would be considered highly unlikely by a majority of people.
Compile the following BH data points- 
- BH has ample $$ (Resources). 
- BH has a tradition of success (culture).  
- New Coach has multiple state titles. (Leadership / Culture).  
- New Coach has coached amazing talent (Leadership / Culture).
Now, knowing all this and not what you know now, take yourself back to that summer. And tell people that BH will win 3 playoff games in the next 5 years and TW will leave.
Again, that statement, while not impossible (obviously), would be considered highly unlikely by a majority of people.
Call it “beating the odds” or “bad/good luck” or whatever you want.
BH underperformed based on the expectations that were reasonable as set forth in the points above.
Crosby overperformed based on the expectations that were reasonable as set forth in the points above.

Keep in mind this is an open forum for all fans, not limited to any particular schools insiders. Expect anyone to talk about anything, don't take it personal, its just how these work. TW was a high profile hire that made news around the whole state, and his subsequent performance and eventual leaving is just as news worthy, too. As I said, I hope BH makes a wiser hire this time, and brings someone in who can develop the program to the max.      

Thats right. I am sure TW is an decent coach but the powers that be at BH completely failed to realize he was not going to have a Kyler Murray & co. to coach when they made the hiring decision 5 years ago. When that hire was made, I had this very discussion with a co-worker from BH and I told him that very thing. TW without Murray & co. is just an ordinary coach, but got paid an extraordinary price simply due to the perception of being elite. 
An ideal candidate for BH would be someone similar to the late Jeff Walker from Liberty Hill. That was truly a great coach that over-performed with only average talent to work with. I hope BH has learned from this very expensive lesson, and will make a great, thoughtful hire.

Thats exactly right. He underperformed. 
I don't blame BH for swinging for the fences 5 years ago. BH wanted to make a "big splash" with the hire and they did. The Westerberg hire did put BH on the statewide football map for all of 15 minutes of fame, but it ended there. Their intention was good but their thought process was quite flawed. Apparently they did not comprehend Westerberg was basically an illusion, without Kyler Murray surrounded by other move in talent at Allen, Westerberg would not have had a prayer of winning state.   
On the other side of the equation, it has been a bonanza for Westerberg. He came for the money and wow did he rake it in. Someone said 2 million in total compensation for the Westerbergs, with $666,667 per playoff win. Tell that result to BH five years ago and they would have run from Westerberg. Its time to move on for BH. They can't un-spend the money or undo the hire, so all they can do is move on and make wiser choices in the future. BH should focus on "bang for the buck", and not let themselves be infatuated with overhyped candidates with glitzy resumes.
 
 
 

"Great"? Hardly.
You should think before you make a statement like that. Samples built up Duncanville by running around south of I-20 collecting talent from places like Cedar Hill, DeSoto, and Lancaster, not by coaching. Samples would be another overhyped candidate with a glitzy resume. Thats the last thing BH needs after Westerberg. 

Thats exactly right. He underperformed.

The locals (not you guys, uh...other locals) have changed their stories as the results came in.
The hire was high profile when it happened.  As it should be.  Highly paid. TW had a resume of titles.  TW had players of the highest caliber that played at Allen.  If 5 years ago, somebody had said "3 playoff wins in 5 years", the locals would have disagreed and said you're crazy.
He underperformed.  
I have a few other, too long, posts about this being all about the context of the hire.  This wasn't just another hire.  Wasn't supposed to be.  The idea (from the locals) was that here was a guy getting paid state title money, coming from a state title school, going to a district that had the money and culture to bring home...state titles.  That didn't happen. 
39-17 in 5 years.
3 playoff wins.
2 District titles. (A district that has been dominated by 2-3 teams the last 10 years).
About 3 years in, I asked when BH will say "Yeah, didn't work out and we need to move on."  Looks like TW made the decision before that point.  
Someone posted a list of coaches that have put away some titles with other schools.  What makes anybody think the results will be any different than the last 5 years?  
Just not so sure paying the most money for the most successful coach on the market makes a program more successful.
