It is noteworthy Valastro had some great athletes to work with that Andy Evans and Stan Howard didn't always have. Valastro came to EC when Tremaine Thomas was a Freshman, and also had Vance McDonald (both NCAA Div. 1, at Arkansas and Rice respectively), and current Sr. Hank Jones.

Amen brotha!  Not to take anything away from Valastro but my granny could have won 10 games a year with T. Thomas, V. McDonald, and H. Jones.

Well, you making that kind of statement is "taking away" from what Valastro did at EC.

That group that Stan had while there was the group with my little brother.  They lost one game on JV and that was to Barbers Hill's JV.  I coached on the staff then and anyone of those coaches on staff could have won with that group. That was also the last year that EC won the district track meet.  That group was special.  The mile relay went to state, with my brother, CJ, Ase, and Domonique as the anchor.

Fingeroll with that kind of statement you should be finger in nose. Your granny could win with those 3.  3 kids do not win games and McDonald was hurt most of the time. I saw them play and it was due to great coaching and good discipline that guided Valastro's teams. Howard could not spell discipline. Hang your hat on that guy. He has been fired/replaced at more jobs than probably any coach in the state.

I wasn't hanging my hat on Coach H.  If you read further back I forgot he was ever at EC his stint was so short.  I am hanging my hat on Coach Evans who started the winning tradition at EC.  Coach Valastro kept the winning going.  Period.  There wasn't a bunch of "bad" kids at EC that he had to straighten out or anything like that.  Things were rolling along well when he got here and they are rolling along well as he leaves.  We appreciate that.  Hopefully the next AD will continue the winning ways.

That may indeed happen, but 4A athletes tend to specialize, while 2A athletes pretty much play all the sports. Not trying to disagree with you, but 4A GB is a different culture than 2A EC. Might make a difference as to how things are run in the program.

There is no doubt in my mind who is responsible for turning that program around.  That is Andy Evans.  I saw it first hand.  Andy was still an assistant when I went to school there and it was terrible.  There were still athletes but no discipline at all.  Football was not fun it was a formality.  Basketball was the only thing that mattered.

Pretty sure that won't happen at Ball.  Their football team was 1 - 9 last year while their basketball team was one of the top teams in the state.

off-season football workouts during basketball - if you mean lifting weights - they will be fine with it.  last time i checked lifting weights helps kids become better overall athletes.  unless you are against becoming a better athlete then do not think there will be a problem.  No college or pro basketball players lift - no never.

Evans first year was also the first year EC dropped from 3A to 2A...we were the largest 2A school in the state.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
