I’m not going to search for all the posts I’ve made listing Whitmire in my top 10 or singing his praises (but I did agree with your post in this thread).  It’s not because I’m not as petty as you, I’m just lazier. 

They should’ve built a road from his driveway to the Athletic Center in Buna. But he will be successfully at everything he does wherever he is. A great leader of men, who can also coach some damn good basketball.

Brandon Shumake at Brookeland and past girls coach in Jasper. Over 100 wins at Jasper and now boys at Brookeland where he has taken them to regional finals each of the three years he has been there, and once to the State semifinals. Wins at every level including a state championship TAPPS while at Cleveland Heritage.

Bryan Whitmire is top notch! He took a team with a first round playoff exit last year all the way to the State Championship Game this year. On top of that he is a great Christian Man that all of our boys can look up to. Excellent mentor and basketball coach that really cares about the kids and it shows. You couldn't ask for a better coach and family to be part of your community.

I have a question. How many teams did Coach Joe Sigler and Coach David Green habe that didn't make the playoffs? Id guess its less than 4 overall. How many seasons?

Coach Sigler had more than 4 years of missing playoffs in his 39 year career. Sigler was head coach at Silsbee for 30 years but had 9 years at other places. Is overall record is 874-402. His record at Silsbee was 717-260. That means he was 157-142 in the other 9 years at Livingston and Clarksville. He missed the playoffs at Livingston at least 3 seasons that I know of. At Silsbee, I believe he missed 3 times in his first stint at Silsbee (1988-2002). Second time (2012-2025) he never missed the playoffs. In fact, in those 14 seasons in his 2nd stint, he made the regional tournament every year but three (2013, 2014, 2025). Was regional champ 5 times.

As for Coach Green, I am not sure on how many times he missed with Kountze, Beaumont Central, Fort Bend Hightower and North Shore.
