OK, had some bad luck Friday...house broken into. OC Sheriff department is on the case. Anyway, because of this I miss the Pirate scrimmage Friday. So, I do something I normally don't do and invest $1 in the Beaumont piece of crud newspaper on Saturday morning, turn to the sports section and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any of the scrimmages in the paper. I'm sorry, but the biggest sporting event in this area is high school football and you have nothing? Last dollar I waste. I'll buy the Vidorian from now on....

Most media services have to staff up to cover football because it so exspanaive and difficult to cover right.  These usually have not budgeted to cover until week zero. In addition, what drives ability for coverage is ad sales and for news papers, paid currculation as well. Very hard to justify the cost of covering scrimmage schedule and trying to cover half assed is worse than not covering. TV just uses scrimmages to practice unseasoned cam/reporters so they are not throw to the dogs in a couple of weeks.

I wouldn't put great stock at all in the Beaumont 'Suprise' whatsoever.  They only cater to MC athletics most of the time.

Maybe they are catering to the people that actually buying the papers.

[/quote]If that's the case, then go the whole 9 yards and change the name if that's where their revenue is comming from.  Most Beaumont people could realy care less.  Most of the stuff in the suprise isn't worth reading sportswise.

The horrible sports coverage (mainly Beaumont teams) from the  Beaumont Suprise is  one of the main reason I signed up on this website many years ago.

I don't  know.  I'm not crazy about traveling to see a scrimmage.  Besides, I have a friend that invited me to the [b]West Brook/Lufkin Scrimmage [/b] on the same day.

      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.
