How can it be a "derail" when one uses the originator's cited article as basis for the point? I just called attention to a different section of that article's discussion and stated why I was concerned by it.
High school coaches are just as aware as college coaches that "you don't produce silk purses from sow's ears". As with college programs , the better secondary school athletes are willing partners in any inducements to encourage the building of top level high school programs in major sports. After all, it is to their benefit to look as good as possible to recruiters from the BCS schools, and they know where to look.
I believe it to be more than "good luck" that the only instate secondary school to have 3 of its athletes signed by AU and UA on Feb.5th was St Paul's somewhere in Mobile.

If the guy wants to stay a head coach at a top high school instead of being an assistant at a lower level college program, there's no shame in that.

Given how Barbee has walked out the last couple of post game press, I'd think it would be Auburn first.

If not college, what type of job should he take?
I left out the word - Top college jobs.
Yeah.
I've got a news flash for him. Kentucky and Duke don't hire high school coaches.
The college that hires him as a head coach will be desperate.
That's no reflection of his abilities, but rather his seemingly unwillingness to "pay his dues".

RE: NBR: Mtn Brook coach as a college coach one day?
Bucky won't leave MB, we have a system setup at the junior high where they play "Bucky Ball" as we call it, so as they get into the JV and Varsity levels they already know what to do. We take A LOT of time off the clock to get the most wide open shot possible(could that work in college, i doubt it), but Bucky is a defensive genius. The MB community has been asking this question for several years. Do I think he goes anywhere soon since I know Bucky, heck no.

The topic of the thread was Mtn Brook head coach as a college coach one day. Not, why do all rich, white, suburban schools get all the great, poor, black, athletes and win more games than inner city schools?
It doesn't matter what any thread topic is, you always find a way to make it about rich vs poor. Every, single, MF'n time.

Rich vs poor is what it's about in America and particularly in Alabama. "Class warfare"? That fight is over and the rich won -- AGAIN. "Income redistribution"? The stats all show that the top 10% got 90% of all growth in real income over the last half century. You don't like facts that displease you? Ignore them or call the statisticians liars. Continue to claim it all irrelevant that the upper income suburban schools dominate in the main sports. Hoover and Mountain Brook - and other similar schools around Alabama - continue each year to produce the great majority of players rated at the top of their sports. It's all just a happy coincidence - right?

so you're mad that we had one black player on our team this year? Patrick Keim was the best player on the team.

Agreed, it's hilarious to see Mountain Brook flaunt their new school spirit as a basketball powerhouse with "Spartan Swag," when all it took was getting a couple of good players from Midfield some new housing acclamations, assuming they are more than a mailbox.

That's right!! Every NBA or NFL team located in Alabama only signs players from rich university athletic programs which recruit primarily from suburban high schools with well financed athletic programs. And don't leave out the NHL teams in Alabama either.
The days of the Bobby Humphreys and Lee Roy Jordans from 1A or 2A class schools appears to be over. If a kid can't play for a Prattville, Auburn, Daphne, Madison Academy or Hoover type school's program, too bad, so sad.

13,000? Really? I would like to see the building in Mt. Brook that could hold a crowd that large.
There's no Southern Baptist church in Mountain Brook?

I had to laugh. You realize MA is about a quarter of the size of those other schools? Unless you count down to the kindergarteners. Up until 5 years ago they were average at best. They made a commitment around 2008 and hired an outstanding coach and put a lot of resources into it.

they also bought some players that turned the basketball team from a team that would get to maybe the second round of the playoffs to a team that won back to back state championships. its nothing new in the state. Thompson high school won a state football championship in the early 80s that way.
Its also not always the boosters buying players. I played at Pelham and we had a very good kicker who's father rented an apartment in Vestavia (that remained vacant) so his son could improve his chances at getting a scholarship.

I'm not fighting numbers with you because you aren't good with them.
My point was you derailed a thread with your agenda once again.. I don't care how right or wrong you are. We all know how you feel we don't need to read it in every thread.
