he coached a basketball game by the rules that were agreed upon.

Damn him to hell.

I think the school is unsportsmanlike for trying give up the win and claim it forfeited. Lets teach kids that the world is just pretend and reality is meaningless.

Well, bottom line, the coach got what he deserved.

In the end, the authority for the school and team team decided they could get a better coach.

Just another decision in the marketplace of ideas.

In real life if a person punched you then you turned around and kicked his butt 100-0 style you’d go to jail.

Even the rules of war forbid the ‘take no prisoner’ mindset.

There is a time for all things...victory with grace.

Something my parents taught me is that it is just as important to be a good winner as a good loser.

Winning 100-0 against mismatched teams doesn’t give the winning players anything to celebrate.
