Wow, when was the last time HJ missed the playoffs?! 

Really don't expect that to happen this year, unless several players quit or get hurt.  My bold prediction is they end the season in a tie for 3rd with Splendora and win the seeding game.  That said, HJ hasn't had a season like this in probably 20 years.  They were pretty so/so while I was in high school, especially when we were 4A (5A now).

1996-98 is when you were in school?

One has already quit but I think you already knew about him.

yes, that happened before district started.  and considering that they've lost two 1-point games and only lost by 6 to HF and HH, i think it's fair to say they would be in the mix for a district championship had he stuck around.

Possibly. But not to speak badly on the young man, one could say the team got better. At least that's the view from several I have spoken to.

Removing possibly the most dominant big man in the district off a team isn't going to make them better.  That said, I don't know a thing about the kid or any issues that go along with him, and it may be a tradeoff that many are willing to make.

Let's just say I trust the folks I spoke to and my own eyes.

      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.
