I’m not criticizing the coach but someone provide the logic on why the players would not be allowed to keep their phones with them ?

Quite a few coaches want the phones off an hour before game, that’s pretty common, I’ve never heard of this being a thing, especially actually taking the phone a full day in advance knowing he has an ailing grandmother.

I’m sure ZE probably didn’t respond correctly either however.

Well it's true. They don't call it the Fulmer cup for nothing.

You seem to never... ever get tired of being wrong, do you?

It is called the Fulmer Cup because it was created by rival fans that hated Fulmer... not because UT had more problems than anyone else. UT had too many toward the end of Fulmer's tenure. That's for sure. He lost control of the team by being too lenient and protecting guys. But the Fulmer Cup had already been created by then.

But de1 said he is a TX-NPA kid and therefore an amazing kid who is getting treated unfairly by his coaches. And we know de1 never blindly takes up for his kids 🤣 No coach invents a BS reason to suspend one of the top players in the country from an important game. In fact, for a coach to make that decision means this was not an isolated incident and not trivial.

It definitely wasn’t an isolated incident, but it’s also a bit overboard for high school coach to demand a kids phone. People acting like we live in a black and white world where ppl are either good or bad and there’s no in between are ridiculous. If a kids got talent you take the risk and hope you and your staff can straighten it out. Sometimes they work out and other times they don’t. Every SEC team takes these risks.

Hard to comment on this situation without knowing more about the coach and the kid. It's a bad look for Evans but maybe he and this coach just don't get along.

The whole thing seems petty to me and makes me wonder if the coach is a control freak that stepped over the line against a kid he thought was challenging his authority...I could be dead wrong.

Was the kid even on the phone when he was ordered to give it up? Was there a reason he needed access to the phone like a sick family member or expecting a call or text from a coach recruiting him?

Having a cell phone in your possession wouldn't keep you from preparing for a game.

From a Houston-area paper:

“...The North Shore Mustangs were asked to give up their phones last night to focus on their much-anticipated rematch with Duncanville.

Everyone complied. Zach Evans did not. He was asked repeatedly. He would not.

Knowing coach Jon Kay, athletic director Vivian Dancy and superintendent Dr. Angi Williams, every "I" was "dotted" and every "T" was crossed. Galena Park ISD is first class and always does the "right" thing.

According to sources close to the situation, the decision went up the chain-of-command and the decision was made. Zach Evans, the nation's top recruit, was sent home.

Keep in mind, this is not an isolated incident. Evans was suspended earlier in the season for three games. It was handled in-house....”

And? Why are coaches rounding up phones in the first place? I really don't care that he was the only one that didn't comply, it's a dumb rule and a stupid reason to suspend a player.

That being said, I realize this is part of a trend of insubordination for him, which is red flag. But this situation by itself is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Still not coming to UT

Sure... we all agree... he's not coming here...

But LOL at a high school coach getting so angry at a kid for not complying to his ridiculous demand that he suspends from a championship game...

Stupid rules are stupid... kid's grandma is sick... leave him alone

Coach makes weird communistic demand so team could "focus" better and lost his best player in the process... Way to show him, coach!

Evans'll be to picking up lunch tabs more expensive than that coach's annual salary in 3 years :rolleyes:

I don’t know the intent behind the rule, but he was the only player to refuse to follow the coach’s request. There were a lot of rules in school and sports that I didn’t agree with, but you were still expected to follow them. His previous 3-game suspension this season most likely played into the final decision as well.

Like i said before outside of Mike Sawyers show me a problematic NPA kid. We police and groom our kids. We stay on them from the time we get them to the time they graduate. When Lyle called because Martinez and Gordon had issues we pulled up resolved it he graduated and is doing well. We've set a standard and will maintain that. The kid had a family sickness in which he wanted to kp the phone. Guys in the NFL don't even gv up their phones before game day. This was bafoonery on the HC and he knew Zach wasn't needed due to the star of Duncanville being hurt. So guess what say what you want but until you have facts you're just yappin my friends. #1 Rb in the land and can name his landing spot and every team in America would take him TODAY. In the famous voice of my man Bey Bey Orgeron #GeauxTigers or as an SEC fan #SEC #SEC
