A&M vs. UCLA Updates/UCLA WINS!


Recommended Posts

very good game by the ags against the refs...haha. UCLA has a good team but the ags had'em on the ropes. If we could have made more freethrows and a couple baskets down the stretch in the last 6 mins or so we wouldn't had to worry bout the last play. Lots of people say they don't call that type of foul that late, which i find complete BS. Sure i wanted to see them win the game to prove others wrong, but they played one heck of game........And the dunk, it's the game, it happens i didn't see anthing wrong with it. If remeber correctly the commentators were eatin him up pretty bad on his performance during the game, so it helped him out a'lil.

True, free throws killed us, but for others to say that you don't get late calls, go back and watch the UCLA/Stanford game when Stanford was up instead and they cleanly blocked a shot with just a little time left and guess what...FOUL!!! UCLA got two shots and won the game. People making the argument about not getting calls in the last seconds are full of it and have no idea what they are talking about. 

Just go here and you will see on the 3rd picture exactly what I stated above.

UCLA has ben getting lucky all season with these end of game calls.. like the shot over the backboard, the clean block at the end of the game that got called a foul for UCLA etc..

    • 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.
