First, there are a lot of good people in the area but IMO:

Matt Thompson (hitting and pitching)  David Huggins (pitching)  JR Bardin (hitting and catching) Blake Justice (infield)

Most of the D1 kids the last couple of years have gone through these guys; therefore, their results do speak for themselves.

You gotta have alot more going for you than a good instructor to go D1........It's called "SKILLS"   and I'll take your word that these instructors are good.........But that aint' why these kids are playing D1 ball !

I think you sell instructors/coaches short.  Granted, a lot of kids have 'SKILLS' but developing those into the tools that translate at the D1 level is another matter.  I think you gotta have both...

Here's how I make a decision. Say I had some money to invest ie. $100,000, and I had two referrals of investment people. Instead of choosing one, I split 50k to each, then after 1 year that will tell me who's the most qualified.

So if I was looking to improve my baseball skills, what's wrong with using both? The best results I had achieved would lead me to stay with that one.

I'm not selling them short at all. I know kids who have made incredible progress from taking private lessons and yes, even gone on to play college ball. I have two kids who take lessons as well so I believe in it. There is no question that a good coach or instructor can improve ones skills. But in my opinion, If you get to the D1 level.............You need to thank GOD first, then you can thank the coach, cause thats where little Johnny got that arm that throws 90mph plus.....Yea, coach Bubba showed him a nasty slider but without that arm, he aint' going D1.

Jeremy Green and Sam Moore have two totally different styles of teaching. 

They are teaching the same mechanics of how to hit a baseball.  Some of their drills may vary and the way they relate to kids may be different but the method they teach  is the same.

High school hitting coach...probably Chad Landry or Coach Griff

High school pitching coach...hard to go against Cody Robbins or Kyle Green

Others:

Hitting: Chris Fackler...results speak for themselves. He learned a lot from Pujols and Kelly Shoppack.

Pitching: Brian Sanches (Yes, technically not a coach but does lessons). Sam Moore is a good one.

      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.
