Ag is 100% correct.  Shaq's 3A San Antonio Cole team should be the posterboys for that example!!  They won it in 1989 with Shaq and a bunch of little guys that made sure that he got his touches...He was still the "Big Aristotle" then he was just MUCH slimmer!! :D...I also remember Moulton having a 6'4 kid that could play inside and out on the 1A level and he really dominated the game...On the 4A/5A level, it is very different.

Well first of all, enrollment is a big issue, obviously...I mean of course the more students you have, the more chances you have of having, a 'giant'. I really dont quite understand, its as if its something in the water in the small towns and communities that stunts players growths?. But all seriousness, It is very rare for a 1A team to have someone over the height of 6'4-6'5. And from my observation, the taller players in 1A, sometimes are very very uncordinated. But in 1A if a team has a some what mediocre but slightly athletic BIG man, they have the advantage from the beginning.

What do you think CATMAN?

I know BS' hasnt been blessed with 6'7 beast, now or anytime soon. lol

McKinney I would consider a beast. (great Player) I will call him MINI-Beast!

Say Dicky, that player you are thinking about is Robert Tovar. He started for them all four years in high school, winning the state title his soph and junior years, lost in semis is freshman year and lost in the finals his senior year. He made all tourney all 4 years.

I would say this:

Go ask any high school coach this question,

If you had your choice to start your team today, would you pick a dominant guard or a dominant post?

I guarantee you, 99.9% of coaches would choose the guard to start their team.

DR. HOOPS-08 Do you have a answer why 1A schools dint have any real big kids

school size is a big issue... if you only have 60 boys in the whole school to chose from, as opposed to 1600, obviously you're not going to have as many big men... another thing that probably plays a factor is that anyone who is tall and dominant in basketball is going to transfer to a bigger school.  you get basically no recognition in 1A basketball, even if you're amazing.  if you're tall, you have to move up in classification and compete against other quality big men so that you can get your name out to colleges.

That's got me wondering, what high school did you play for and what years? Was it Yates?

Oh, okay. Home of the 1984 class 5A state basketball champions, Sean Gay and co. Man that was a great team.

Sorry about the Yates thing. ;D

      Bridge City is open

      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.
