Mitchell basically said his players aren’t athletes and can’t compete. AD needs to take a serious look at a new coach. 

I’ve been critical about Mitchell for some stuff he’s done, but he’s helped make lumberton somewhat relevant, which they haven’t been pretty much ever.  It doesn’t take a brilliant basketball mind to know that his players aren’t athletic enough or good enough to compete with Silsbee this year.

I bet it did.  I'm not going to second guess Mitchell.  His job is not to provide happy carefree entrainment for us Tiger fans.  His job isn't to make us like him or even to make us "respect" him.  His job is to try to find a way to give his kids their best shot at winning against a better, stronger, faster team.  Shortening the game is one way to do that.
 

THIS!!!!

Reason why I am against a shot clock. Allow a coach to coach his team in the best way to win a game.

That would be ok but not egging on the Tiger fans while your team is stalking the ball.  I know we have some over the top fans but an opposing coach shouldn’t be on the court motioning our fans to get louder or interacting with them…

Curious what type of stall he did? 

Had one kid stand near the baseline and hold the ball, while his four teammates surrounded him. 

Then you just stand there for a whole quarter if you can.

It's trash basketball if you can even call it basketball. You literally just choose to stand there and not play.

Yeah. That’s a little much.

As a coach you do what you have to do to win games . If a coach thinks he has a plan to slow down a high powered offense and a very athletic team then you do what you have to do . I watched Lumberton in the 80s run 4 corners against Lincoln when I was in high school . Lincoln had 2 big time division 1 players that went to Texas and Oklahoma . Lumberton lost like 26-18 and it was the only way they could compete so it is what it is . Congrats to silsbee and let’s move in .

In the late 90’s Coach Hand took a very young Huntington team to Woodville who was state ranked. He spread the floor the entire first half. Woodville never came out to challenge the ball and Huntington won that game 5-3. The best and worst coaching jobs I ever heard of and they were both the same game. You do what you gotta do.

Couldn’t the defense just stand close enough to get a 5 second call

No they formed a line right up against the sideline and arching to it on both ends. When the ref counted they handed the ball to the next player.  We reached over and got one foul and then got a jump ball.  I guess the way we could have forced them out of it was send our player out of bounds to touch the ball and force an inbounds play.

If done with good intentions, let them have fun with each other.

Silsbee took care of what they had to do. This win pretty much are did clinch Silsbee the district championship ..! 🤗😁🐅🏀

That's a fact.  They composed themselves and adapted.  It was weird at first and they were somewhat at a loss as most of us were.  But they solved the ball holding thing making it too costly for Lumberton and they only tried it once or twice in the 3rd.  

This kind of thing may come up again and the experience gained here will help them be ready for it.  So you're not going to score 100.  Your not even going to score 80.  But when you run up a 31 point lead before the coaches pull the plug it ain't bad.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.

    • You just analogized to a tee the situation going on with the Trump New York trial. And I bet you can't even see the hypocrisy elicited out of your hatred. You once again outed yourself...without any realization of your actions. I'm not sure if Reagan actually set you up to expose your blatant hypocrisy, or if it was just a happy coincidence. You seem to thrive on humiliating yourself. Now get to work on providing that evidence of your emphatic declarations that Trump's economy was horrible. You failed miserably before, I bet you will again.
