I remember Huffman gave last years Tigers fits until about 5 minutes left in the 4th qtr. They had a kid about 6'2 who was like Barkley on the boards and 2 kids who could shoot lights out from deep. Very well coached team. Not that athletic but well coached for darn sure. 

They are always well prepared and just don’t beat themselves. The post player graduated but they still have some shooters who can fill it up.

Guess Livingston just ain't what they used to be from when I was a kid.

Back when them and Silsbee were in the same district, it seemed like they always had a lot of size and at least one or two kids that could jump out of the building.

Just like Cleveland, time have changed big time. Livingston use to have all the Jackson brothers (Shannon, Johnny, Bobby, etc) and Cleveland (Ivan William's, Andre Riscaino, Squirrel etc). Most of those families no longer live there I dont think. Some.of those guys are no longer living as well. Like I said, times have changed.

All of those guys are still living

Yeah....I remember them having a big post player that used to give Silsbee fits. I think Ernest was his name, not 100 percent sure. Also had a kid that looked like Vince Carter in the dunk contest when they played us.

Anyways, I'm glad Silsbee will be playing this modern version of Livingston. Still don't want them to look past anyone.

    • 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.
