Feel like WOS could have a good basketball program if the head coach wasn't crazy.

When you make Coach Brooks look fairly quiet an sedate by comparison, you have a problem.

I don't like the way Silsbee just jacks up 3s and doesn't always get back on defense when the game is well in control. Lost the dunk count because of that. Need to keep the same intensity for 4 quarters, no matter the score or who is out there playing.

I liked the WO-S coach's fire.  He got on their case and should have.  He rode the refs and he had every right to do that.  But in the grand scheme of things, he knew they couldn't beat Silsbee once if they played this team 10 times, but he wanted his team to play hard.  I have no problem with that at all...

I agree.  He reminds me a bit of PNG’s coach - both are loud and animated.  I have been thoroughly entertained by them both.

It was an entertaining game anyway.  WOS will be a worthy 3rd or 4th place team in our district.  I think they even have a chance at a first round upset victory if they can come in 3rd and not have to play a district winner.  They suited out only 8 I think and played all 8.  The 3 subs played pretty well though.  And 8 man rotation is fine against most teams so that won't be a problem.

The Tigers needed to win this one by something in the mid 30's and they did.  The shooting was so-so but the intensity was great and that's the main thing.  They are on track.  The bench had a couple of shaky minutes in the first half but they came around, we're seeing improvement down the line with every game.  As usual, the only concern is size inside.  The Tigers are tenacious and they play hard and they compensate well but we are vulnerable inside. The effectiveness of No. 11 highlighted this. 

The next home game for the Tigers will be good one and I don't expect a 34 point margin.  The Tigers are capable of pulling away from HJ but it probably won't happen.  Any kind of win, pretty or ugly, close or comfortable will be just fine.

Sometimes we forget, the last time a kid from Silsbee to have a major D1 offer in basketball to a NCAA Tourney worthy team was Eddie Fobbs (Sam Houston), Chris Miller (TSU), Lewis Airline (Lamar), and Thad Holden (Lamar/University of Tennesse). I remember when Eddie Fobbs played Florida in the 1st round of the NCAAs and had like 5 blocks in the 1st half. Major D1 basketball offers aren't all that common in Silsbee. Now we have 2 on the same team and maybe 3 with Bush.

    • Or a less lethal option would be to have law enforcement yell improper pronouns at them...they'd scatter like sheep. I still prefer your way, lol.
    • I ve seen this done in several other countries.  And in those countries it happens very lil because of the severity of the consequences.   I saw a video of other world leaders ask “why does America allow such destructiveness” when all the civil unrest was happening because a criminal/criminals were killed  by not following commands.     we have a great system in place but it’s been compromised and we could still learn from other countries.
    • I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!
    • You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.
    • This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.
