I'm saddened by this for two reasons:

1. No more good entertainment during Mustang b-ball games

2. WOS might be an actual threat in basketball next year

I did notice their JV coach had the team playing well from when I saw them play. Kids seemed to respond really well to him, as opposed to the kids on the varsity squad who always looked like they were at a funeral.

I believe their JV scored 2 points in the first half of a game I saw them play late in the season. I don’t think there is much emphasis on basketball at WOS. That’s a shame because they always got some horses. The coach was worth the price of admission lol

I enjoyed watching (and listening lol) to him coach as well.  I heard early in this season that it was likely he would not be retained as coach.   Not saying the decision was made then but it sounded like he needed to have something special happen to retain his job.   Basketball and WOS is a peculiar thing.

That's crazy.

They actually beat Silsbee the first time they played.

I was talking to a WOS parent last season and he said Coach would not let the boys shoot a 3pt shot unless it was in the corner, if they did shoot a 3pt shot from anywhere else he would immediately sub that player out of game.

He probably got tired of seeing them long rebounds come off the front iron and go the other way 😂

They didn’t score in the 1st quarter against HJ and scored 2 in the 2nd or 3rd quarter. The final was 47-15 and it was at WOS. They hit a 3 at the buzzer. It wasn’t pretty.

I personally don’t think strict limitations on players is a good style of coaching. Limitations are sometimes needed but too many limitations is a good way to have a talented team underachieve. They will never be able to perform freely if they’re worried about being yanked. Gotta let the dogs loose and not try n tame them

I can agree with that to a certain point however no one knows their players like a coach. Nothing will get you beat quicker than a bunch of bad 3 point shooters. I don’t think the coach was the issue at WOS. There has been some good ones there over the last few years. It just doesn’t look like it get the emphasis that is necessary to win from the outside looking in.

Not saying WOS problem was the coach because I didn’t see them play this year although I do know they normally have good athletes. Yea bad shots can take you out of a game but lack of confidence and being too stiff will take you out quicker. You don’t fix bad shot selection by threatening to yank players in my opinion.

I saw WOS several times and they did have some athletes. They also had a pretty darn good coach. I think the players have to buy in to the coaches philosophy and realize there are some things that will get ya set down. I don’t know anything about their off season stuff but I’m willing to bet there isn’t much emphasis on basketball. I hope the coach stays local

Recently heard from a West Orange Stark Board Member that Wilson who was the girls Coach is getting the job.  He did a great job with the girls, my niece played for him this past season and all the girls loved his style.   He also got 3 of our girls college scholarships and a boy that graduated in 2019 one as well.  I'm excited to see what he can do wit our boys because he worked those girls hard and they loved it. I personally thought he was leaving after 1 year because everyone keeps talking about how great a softball guy he is.

I think WOS got it right and hired a guy that fits our athletes.  Coach Barstow is still a very good coach but Wilson has a style that fits our athletes and I know I am excited to see what he can do on the boys side.  This guys will have the gym open all summer and kids coming out that should have been playing all along.  Hopefully they get a good replacement for the girls and don't just put anyone over there because we have a lot of talent coming back.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
