longwheelbase Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just wondering if the asst coach at Tyler Chapel Hill is or was interested in the position. I believe that is where he was before he went to Chapel Hill. I would like to here something out of Bullard on whats happening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcr7675 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Lindale's Allbritton is my bet for the open job. His wife just accepted a principal position in Bullard at the elementary. Lindale's upcoming years of basketball looks "bleek" at best based on the district they are in. Great kids who work hard, but the ceiling is pretty low.

HSBRangers Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He is a great guy. Lindale would hate to lose him, but it would be a good get for Bullard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AreaScout Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Albritton seems to be a great fit at Lindale, doing great things with kids that work well in his program. However, he lost a HUGE weapon in Jordan Gray (graduation). When you saw write-ups in the papers about Lindale Basketball, it usually featured Gray. Not sure who would be able to fill those shoes, so maybe Albritton will look to follow his wife to Bullard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishfulthinking2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Bullard is usually a good program. Whoever they get will inherit a program with some tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbird Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Bullard is usually a good program. Whoever they get will inherit a program with some tradition. Tradition isn't the problem. Talent is and there isn't a lot of it there right now for various reasons. Some changes need to happen or good players will continue to not play basketball or go other places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbird Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 How much of that "talent" goes to the Brook Hill school? There are 3 pretty good ones at one point that attended Bullard but went to BH. One has since left BH to go somewhere else. You have another that left Bullard for a different school. A huge piece of the puzzle still walks the halls of Bullard but isn't playing basketball. You put those 5 together and you have one heck of a team. But hey, a certain guy wants Bullard to be a football school. Hasn't worked out so far and will get worse this year. Meanwhile a school that used be have great basketball tradition suffers. That was more than you asked but I was in an opinion giving mood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I don't know that details, but just from reading this I would say good for Chambless. That certain someone wanting Bullard to be a football school has put that athletic program in circles. Bullard basketball (and baseball for that matter) used to be the go-to sport(s) with great traditions. When that pigskin coach came in during my years at BHS, athletics took a drastic turn. Sure, the football team has made the playoffs the past couple years. However, the basketball and baseball programs both had 10+ consecutive years of making playoffs, and suddenly they had to take a backseat to the football program. And I get it, football is king. I love football just as much as every other guy on here, but I hate seeing good programs being put on the backburner because there's a new football coach in town that thinks everyone should bow down to him. If you were an athlete and didn't play football, you were heavily frowned upon. Just giving my 2 cents. - Bullard Alum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrdlr Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Where did Shane Chambless go? My understanding is he's taking a teaching only position, at Whitehouse I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishfulthinking2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Well I think it's good that Bullard has an AD that is there that looks to be in it for the long haul. Sometimes you have down years in sports. I'm sure basketball will get back to its winning ways soon. Be patient! Any assistants on staff that can handle the program??

ETXfan16 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 How many state titles has this "basketball" school won? Or even played for? 0. Although the basketball program had success in the previous years, I don't think anyone here is calling Bullard a "basketball" school. BBall was more popular in Bullard because the football team wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
