Tyler TASO Basketball Chapter
« on: September 06, 2010, 05:35:02 PM »
Has anybody heard what in the blazes is going on with the Tyler TASO Basketball Chapter? Just heard that they had been turned in to the State Attorney General's office here in Austin for fraud. Also heard they were dumping TASO to join the UIL. ALSO heard they they were being sued by one of their biggest officials there. I called a coach up there to find out what was happening and heard that the chapter has been dropped from the big post season warm up classic there. WOW!

This is all true. The membership is going to meet at some point and take a vote of confidence / no confidence to either keep or replace the board. What a mess!!!!!

I heard the part about how they outright screwed the guy that was doing a great job assigning games...and gave it to a guy that was horrible at it.

I also heard that several of their longstanding board members got off the board (resigned or didn't run for election) because of all of the infighting within the chapter.

Then I heard that 70+ members paid their state and local dues to the chapter treasurer--but that he didn't send their money into TASO because they didn't designate which state organization they wanted their money to go to (in all fairness, it is still in the bank-not stolen or anything).  All of this despite the fact that the court had not ruled on the original lawsuit and there was only one organization that was registering officials at the time--TASO.  These 70+ members now owe TASO a late fine of $25 each.  That's great leadership!!!

Next I heard that they now have coaches freaking out because they do not have responsible people in charge of what used to be a $30K fundraiser basketball tournament that they put on for scholarships and chapter expenses.

I heard that this chapter has gone from being one of the best in the state to one of the worst in just a little over 2 years.

Is that what you heard?
What part am I missing?

I would say that is pretty much the skinny of the situation. When you have a bunch of people acting like this board is acting and screw up a chapter in less than 2 years, then I would call that totally irresponsible!

not a member of basketball.. Hate me some thump thump.. but not sending in the dues and leaving them in the bank until a resolution of who to send it to had been determined does not sound bad IMO.  And when Taso finds out they were being withheld for that reason should forgive any late fee since the dues had been paid by the members on time just held in the chapter bank account until they knew who to send em to.

How can you say that we have become one of the worst chapters in the state. Because of the lawsuit or just word of mouth from some person or persons that have a bone to pick with our board. Do you know all the reasons why this person brought a lawsuit against the board or just what you want the hear. I agree that some of the things that the board does I dont agree on but I'm not going to destroy the chapter for it by suing them.

I'm not assessing anything based on any actions related to a lawsuit.  I didn't even mention the lawsuit--I don't care about the lawsuit.

There are still great referees in the chapter.  I'm not dogging anyone's ability--they didn't forget how to call ball.  I'm talking about daily operations and board actions.

GWT,

The Tyler Chapter Board has destroyed this chapter. If a board acts in a malicious manner with no regard for the individuals or the coaches or teams as this board has done, then the only thing left to do IS file a lawsuit against them. I happen to know that by December 1, there are two more members of the chapter about to file a lawsuit against the chapter. If the members of the chapter insist that these people are the ones to lead them, then they deserve everything they get which includes coaches pulling their schedules which I happen to know is about to happen.

The crying towel is going to be needed by the majority of the chapter when this all is said and done in a few months. There are quite a few coaches who are going to be making their feelings known to the investigative panel which is being assembled by TASO. This is step one to right a very bad wrong and then the legal system will take care of the rest of it.

You know, I thought we had problems here in Austin and I thought things were screwed up in Houston when I was there, but you guys in Tyler are in serious trouble. Since I heard about all of this, I have done some checking and I have to ask Barry Barnett.....what in the world were you thinking trying to promote these idiots these past years? Are you proud of attaching the Tyler Chapter to your name in everything you have done? I heard you went to the Kaufman Chapter which is a UIL chapter. I also saw on the TASO website that you just recently lost your dad. I am very sorry.

As for the Tyler Chapter, I know of 2 people on yalls board that have been trying to facilitate their way into playoff games and I know 2 others have been in contact with the UIL trying to suck up to Timmons and work their way into the state tournament. They fabricated charges against one of yalls most popular members and drove him out of the chapter. Now the sentiment in the winds are that you all are going to get your butts sued and if what I am hearing out of Dallas is true, there are 3 members of the board that are about to be suspended by TASO when this is all said and done.

On top of it, what is yalls hang up with the uniform situation? Who cares if you have to wear a gray shirt? Telling Timmons and the UIL to stick the shirts up his "BUTT" and not wearing them is not exactly a favorable step if you wish to work UIL events. What a bunch of morons!! If that chapter crumbles and falls apart and the members that are worth a dang move on, then nobody has anybody to blame but themselves.

Well since this is a FOOTBALL board why are we discussing basketball. As far as wearing a UIL shirt, Timmons can stick it!  And I do not work basketball.

Who cares if this is a "football" board? Tell you what.......since you don't like basketball......and this is a basketball post.....then that means you don't have a single clue as to what is going on and you are probably just one of those trollers who just go around the threads and find something to scream about. You are probably one of those TASO die-hards who wants to be in charge of a TASO chapter and can't get elected. Go find you a football thread and complain to them.

Grant,

as the OP is obviously mischaracterized as a football related post, can you transfer the thread to the basketball section?

Best regards,

Brad

Cooter, EVERYBODY on here knows who I am when I post something. I do not need to hide behind a screen name like you obviously do. I notice you did not leave your real name in your comment. Tyler trash is exactly where it is.......in Tyler. There is about to be DUE PROCESS in Tyler and I can assure you the trash is about to be taken out. Between the State TASO Board and the State District Court, it will happen.
