This is why I don't watch basketball anymore, its all about the dunk and nothing about the countless hours of practicing the fundementals of the game. Take Blake Griffin, he can jump and dunk, but did you see his 3 point attempt the other night? Total joke that could cost his team a game by not being able to shoot a free throw. There are no more Larry Bird or Majic Johnsons in this league anymore. Its all about dunking.

[/quote] LeBron, Kobe, and Durant can all shoot the 3 and hit free throws and are some of the NBA's best dunkers.  So, imho, that's  lame excuse of why you don't watch the NBA. 

AS WE WERE SAYING, nasty dunk in the video.  Would've been no shame in moving out of the way...

They are still no Magic or Larry!!

I saw both Larry and Magic play and now have seen Durant and James. Those two remind me the most of Larry and Magic. However, I can tell that this is going to go nowhere.

[/quote]Amen! This is one of the problems you see among our young players. Basic fundamentals are at minimum. Bad footwork, bad hands, etc......

Big men are historically bad shooters. They grow up in the paint, not out on the perimeter. There is no higher percentage shot than the dunk. And that 3pt attempt was in the last 2 seconds of the possession and was more desperation than anything else.

I will agree with bluedove3 though. Fundamentals are at a minimum. Hard to watch kids dribble anymore with all the carrying going on.

      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.
