Bullard Boys Basketball Coach
Wishfulthinking2016 replied to pumpfake25's topic in High School Sports
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?? -
Where was Carr these past few years? Is he the same Carr who was at Henderson back in the day?

Bullard Boys Basketball Coach
Wishfulthinking2016 replied to pumpfake25's topic in High School Sports
Bullard is usually a good program. Whoever they get will inherit a program with some tradition. -
I've been around here 45 years and have never seen anything like this. Reminds me of the situation when Michael Haywood was hired at the University of Pittsburgh and then was fired before the season even started for domestic violence issues....although he was eventually cleared, the allegations themself have the potential of ending the coaching career. Makes you wonder about the search firm and their credibility in choosing candidates. Hopefully the truth comes out in this situation, but Rusk has to make some decisions by Monday morning on which direction they intend to go for the purpose of the kids and that athletic program. Prayers to all involved!

Tough district.....you would think being between Tatum & Carthage it would be some pretty solid athletes coming through Beckville. That whole area usually fields some good teams.
-
What's the current standings in this district?
-
Which district is Beckville in now?
-
Anyone have the list of games to be played at Lobo this season?
-
How has Woodville traditionally been in football?

Has anyone seen the schedule for Tyler Lee?

Right on brother.....the Tennis coach was the main one running around town talking bad about Dennis. Eastman was a no-show at the trial, and the 2 baseball coaches didn't get to tell their story. Tennis coach has a vested interest in the basketball team, as does 2 school board members....I said that to say this...the board, Tennis coach, and Eastman were all against Dennis...there was NO WAY Greer could stay at Troup with everyone knowing he supported DA...they basically had to fire him. Remember this....Eastman initially said that it didn't go down the way that everyone portrayed it. He then changed his story....maybe because he's financial partners with the father of the accusing kid......who knows. I would love to hear the story of the Culinary Arts teacher. She played a big role in this and she hated DA.....this isn't the first coach that she ran off in Troup. I hear she likes to play the victim.... You can't deny this is the reason he was non-renewed. He snapped a 30+ game losing streak and had a successful season playing with a bunch of sophomores. --Mon he testified on behalf of DA --Wed/Thurs he was told he was being non-renewed --Friday they offered him a new contract
-
So can someone from Troup enlighten me on this.....heard Eastman and a school board member by the last name of Whitsell are preparing to purchase a golf course. Could this be why Eastman turned on Dennis? Money will make you do some strange things....Eastman supposedly told several coaches that he doesn't even want to be the athletic director. He just wants to coach golf. Also saw on school website where the basketball job is now posted...good luck to the next guy. This job would have me ready to check into the state hospital at Rusk.

I wouldn't say that....TEA usually sides with the school in these situations. A civil suit would likely be the next step but at this point Dennis will just be spending money to clear his name and get what they owe him. Basketball coach pretty much did what Navasota coach did.....gave them the bird and resigned. I guess we can just speculate....if you weren't there you will never know what happened. But there's a reason the admin told the baseball coaches not to show up and testify....they are Troup alumni and they probably didn't want to end up getting rid of them like they tried to do the basketball coach. What's more strange is them going back and offering the basketball coach a new contract the day after they said they were going in a different direction. Take it how you want, but the only folks that operate like this are EDITED BY MODS. This isn't the first scandal for Troup ISD and it won't be the last. Sad thing is that the same fools will keep running the show and the kids will never be successful in athletics. List of stuff Troup has been through in the last few years --A basketball coach from 6 years ago turned in the school to the UIL for illegal football practices --Culinary Arts teacher picked up some female students and took them to a game because the coach left them due to them being late ...made a scene and ended up getting that coach fired because she accused him of inappropriate relations with the students. This is also the self proclaimed God Mother of the kid that is lying on Dennis --Eastman forced out as AD a few years ago....now he's AD again --multiple Coaches ran off for improper relationship with students. --Student checks out TODAY (3/16/2016) and moved to Arp due to threats from school/community members for testifying for Dennis Alexander.....this is Info from My friend's daughter who was in band with that student. Forget TEA....law enforcement needs to investigate this!!

Dennis Alexander terminated after 4-2-1 vote
Wishfulthinking2016 replied to Horns85's topic in High School Sports
Get this....my friend's child goes to Troup. Came home today and told them that a student withdrew because he had been getting threats from the school/community. They moved him down the road to Arp. This child testified FOR Dennis Alexander. I don't care how you look at it....that ain't right. -

It's normal for the TEA to side with the school district in stuff like this. I would be willing to bet that you haven't heard the last of Dennis Alexander!
