Don't ever worry about stating an honest opinion.  I enjoy listening to AAW's broadcasts as much as anyone.   But I too was flipping around at 10 hoping to see some highlights.  I understand in the early rounds you can't cover everyone when so many teams are in.  I was just hoping with Silsbee playing on a different night than the Beaumont and Mid-County schools, they would have gotten some tv coverage.  Not mad and I understand those guys work hard.  But was hoping I was going to see some.  

So don't apologize about an opinion several share.  But we will look forward to your future highlights!!

I can't remember the first time I met Pinetree. I think it was before kindergarten. I got a lot of respect for him and what he does in the Silsbee community.   Having said that, Silsbee  being # 1 in basketball only goes so far.  People like to see & hear about state championships.  They are kind of jaded with # one rankings.  That sounds cold but that is how it goes.  If Silsbee doesn't win it all this season I am still proud of them.  But you only get the real show 'nuff  accolades until you reach the next level.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
