Brandon Roy is now a high school basketball coach and his team is dominating

He's coaching at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle
quote:
Nathan Hale is a now a perfect 22-0 and a Top 10 nationally-ranked high school basketball program, a feat accomplished in Roy's first season as the school's head coach and a drastic turnaround from last year's 3-18 record.
Nathan Hale also has one of the top players in the country in Michael Porter Jr., who poured in a game-high 39 points and will attend Roy's college alma mater at the University of Washington in the fall.
quote:
In retirement, Roy did some Seattle sports radio and also worked in real estate and financial management. But he had the desire to return to basketball, only this time as a coach.
Not wanting to be an assistant, Roy began to seek out head coaching opportunities and one such existed at Hale. And seemingly as soon as Roy took the job, Hale's roster was transformed as seven players including the Porter brothers transferred to the school.
Seattle public schools have an open enrollment policy, which allows students to transfer to any school within the city. The highly-touted Porter brothers had just moved to Seattle from Missouri after their father, Michael Porter Sr., was hired as an assistant coach at Washington. The brothers are homeschooled, but since they live in Hale's school zone, they can participate in the school's athletic program. While the Washington connection seems like it came into play here, Roy has dismissed this idea.

That is convenient. I am happy Roaro Kleibenschnott can't send his kids to the same school as my kids.

Those 7 guys on the team that weren't at the school last year are all badass.

No shite they had a huge turnaround. What happened to high school athletics? This is all insane. Whoever made that hire is a genius and knew exactly what he/she was doing, but I'd be pissed if I was coaching HS ball in Washington.

Whell since they let kids go wherever they want it's no surprise he's undefeated.
Hey kid, do you want to play for some nobody or do you want to play for a former NBA player?
Hmmm...tough choice

What happened when most of the kids in an area want to go to the same school? Surely they need to cut kids off. Do the ball players get top priority? Curious as to how that plays out.

The playoff teams vs PHO and HOU were a little too young and the one vs DAL imo ran into a buzz saw. That team was loaded.

Roy is pretty lucky that Lo Romar is friends with a women's basketball coach and decided to hire him to his staff.

Washington State high school sports are as crooked and corrupt as it gets.

Someone has definitely been spending some time around the Greater Spokane League.
