Be interesting to see if 'Snoop" Johnson remains at Kimball. Kimball basketball has been "dirty" for years. . . Come to think of it. So has South Oak Cliff basketball.

Following this tweet!!! I won't be the least bit surprised if "Snoop" Johnson won't be too far behind his brother, Roderick, and his father, Goree.

And you wonder why so many young kids have the attitudes they do. Great role models.

It seems to me that Frazier was involved in some issues related to Kimball. Does anyone know
the details and results of that inquiry? Obviously SMU was convinced that KF didn't have a
problem. Wonder if the Kimball coach (Snoop) is still being checked out.

The DISD found that Frazier was recruited from Irving to Kimball several years ago. That finding resulted in a warning to all Coaches and ADs that any future recruiting violations would result in termination. Superintendent Miles followed through with his warnings this time by firing the employees. Each Basketball Coach was required to personally verify the residence of his players by visiting their listed residence

Sad that it took a kid's death to expose just how dirty DISD athletics department

What comes around goes around, Goree Johnson. I'll never forget how much he slammed SMU after Jimmy Tubbs was fired and said he would tell every DISD coach to never send a kid there (I'm paraphrasing).
His departure couldn't come too soon.

Calling them as I see them. This is sadly becoming typical for DISD, one scandal after another

As long as you're calling it as you see it.
