SHETLAND AS TOURNAMENT


Recommended Posts

Congrats to Vidor and Coach Jason.  Klay had an amazing night (as well as several other kids).  To Coach Bryant, Cash, McLeod, and Hansen, great job.  I thought that either team would and will do well in Dallas.  

And, tell Landon McLeod he is MVP.  His legendary YMCA performance was the stuff of legend!

Good luck to Vidor at State.

Congratulations to Vidor on a great win tonight against a very good Twin County team. 

I would also like to say thank you to Larry Dial, Toby Strother, Ashely Adams, and the many other people who worked on the field and in the concession stand who helped make this a great tournament.

Also thanks to Clint Brasher (and Kevin Holden when Clint was coaching) for the music and play-by-play action which made an enjoyable and memorable experience for all the kids.

Congratulations to Vidor Shetland division for having 2 teams in the top 3. 

Also thank you to the other Vidor coaches and parents who have helped make this all-star season a sucesssful one thus far.  I am looking forward to the trip to Dallas.

I hate that I missed all the fun.

Congrats to Jason, Toby, Larry, and Kevin and most of all, every boy on the team.  The State tournament is an awesome experience.  I wish you the best of luck in your draw (it matters) and know that you will make the experience the very best for the boys.

And I hate to be a homer, but I sure hope that Lance, Neal, Jeremy and Jon and company are able to make the trip with you.  It should be great fun for everyone involved.

I want to congratulate TC on a very well played tournament. You guys represent your association with a lot of class. Nothing to hang your heads about. It was fun watching you guys and girl play. That is a great group of young men and young lady on that team and they followed the lead from a great group of coaches from TC. Keep playing hard!

  And to the Vidor All Stars, WAY TO GO GUYS! You young men are an amazing group and it has been a blast to work with you. Lets keep working hard, have fun and and keep it rolling in Dallas.

  I also want to send a big thank you to Toby, Ashley, Jason, Kevin (all 3 of you), Clint, Byron, Scooter, Trey, Blake and the wonderful ladies in the concession stand. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks! LD

    • 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.
