[b]Central reassigns boys basketball coach[/b]
Chad Cooper, Sports Editor - THE EXAMINER

Sources close to BISD have confirmed that Central boys head basketball coach Calvin Rice has been reassigned and will be relieved of his head coaching duties.

Central lost to West Brook on Tuesday, 54-45, and will open District 20-4A play this Friday at Vidor.

Varsity assistant coach Robert Lee will be the interim coach.

The Jags were 3-7 this season and have been the only team to hand 3A No. 6 Hardin-Jefferson a loss this season when they beat the Hawks 64-57 at the Fred Williams Classic on Nov. 27.

Rice led Central to an 18-12 record last year losing in the bi-district round of the 4A playoffs to Crosby. Rice's head coaching record is 136-99 (.578).

Phone calls to BISD administration for comment haven't been returned. [/font]

WOOOOOW!

[AggiesAreWe]

Is this based on his performance as a coach, or is there other issues involved?

[font=Courier]Working on that now AAW.[/font]

[BMTSoulja1]

I think I know why... ;)

Thank you coach for the years you have put in at the school and for staying above .500.  I wish the best for you and your family.

Same here shorttexas1. Unfortunately this was inevitable. This all started a couple of years ago but got really bad last year. I brought this up earlier this year on this site but it was dismissed. I am shocked it happen in the middle of the season. God Bless to him and his family!!!!!

I'm thinking Coach Joubert. He would be a Young Boutee like at Central. He would put Jag basketball back in the map. I hope he gets a shot!!

No way he leaves KOUNTZE.

[swagg]

If central offers I guarantee he gone. Why wouldn't he? He's proven himself in 2a. Going 4a is a great idea

I wouldn't say that. BISD could offer him a much bigger salary than the one at Kountze.

[Lazeek]

What are the odds of all three BISD head hoops positions being open at the end of the year?

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

[font=Courier]They did want him. Wanted Travis too.[/font]

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

[font=Courier]I'd say decent. Ozen is young but the fans are already restless. The other needs to be replaced.[/font]

[BMTSoulja1]

AAW, I don't think it would be about the Money.  Coaches just want to win..  I think the Kountze coach would be a good fit for Central. 

I agree with giving Franklin Paul a shot.  Also, consider Edward Garret a shot.  Both are Central alum and are young coaches...

[NHS83LU87]

I hate it for Coach Rice.  I always thought he handled himself with class. 
Kountze has been a springboard for a lot of coaches in the area......wouldn't be surprised to see it again. 

[shorttexas1]

I am not sure about Paul, Garrett has alot of basketball knowledge but he is young.  I don't know what direction they will go but I hope it wiorks out for them!

I don't understand what you are asking. What happened to what?

[Bucof2010]

Central could potentially be a 4a Ktz so why wouldnt he leave

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

[font=Courier]They both wanted the job. Travis applied and interviewed.[/font]
