are you going to hire a basketball coach?

I garuntee you Grider and that Wilson man will be hiring us a durn coach. That Phillips man did not win enough championships for Grider to rename that gym after him. That Brooks man and that Fuqua woman would get real mad. I aint joking either.

they had a 400 game basketball winner coaching baseball a few year ago and didn't hire him. I think the time for sp to hire a basketball coach went out the window when he left.

2 championships in 4 years is a good start...

Pretty good, but it better start before middle school to be good at it. Now take this stuff to the basketball board. LMBO

Winning is great but Old Pirate says developing....good fundamental skills is the key to transition to being good high school players! The high school teams today would be nearly as successful today if they had only 1 hand because lack of weak hand is obvious today. Old Pirate seen a game and few could or would do left handed lay ups...! Bad teaching/coaching! Dad burnit, you take an old skillet slinger, theys a HEEP as good with a skillet in either... hand. Today....mostly have to worry about jest blocking one or jest staying out of reach. You knows OP ain't joking neither.. Edited April 20, 2015 by OLD PIRATE

Old Pirate's point exactly.....they have to be taught good fundamentals when young and taught to improve over time...........

And what kind of record did that propel the Pirates to in baseball that year?

Not sure that is even relevant. Question is what would the basketball program have been if he were the coach. He wasn't so what does it matter?  As to baseball he was a strong discipline guy that ran a disciplined program and demanded and got respect from our kids. He worked hard but he was not what baseball needed so he was smart enough to step down. I appreciated that. Class guy. Now as the Ambassador stated lets get back to Pirate football. Take basketball talk to the basketball board.
