I have read that they full court pressed until they it 100. If that is true he should have been fired.
why? They shouldn’t play by the rules? They should just give score welfare now?
Full court press, taking 3-point shots, and the coach yelling and screaming from the bench to go for 100 points.
The guy's an a$$hole. He doesn't belong on a HS bench.
He wanted that 100. Funny how they scored EXACTLY 100. He got what he wanted. And something he didn’t want.
What score would have been acceptable to you? 50-0? 25-0? 1-0?
What circumstances need to exist to justify failing to play competitively?
Who, exactly, has been victimized by the actual result? What responsibility does any other party have to eliminate this "victimization"?
I understand that the losing team has never won a game. Should all of the other teams have refused to play them? Is there no value whatever to playing and losing?
Do you support banning the losing team from playing any more? If not, what guidance do you supply for their opposition? Certainly you owe the coaches of the other teams proper notice of what constitutes cause for them to be fired.
“I have read that they full court pressed until they it 100. If that is true he should have been fired.”
You’re right he sould have gone for 200-0!!!
Not true. The following is from the coach...
The Game. The game started like any other high school basketball game across the nation. The teams warm-up, coaches talk, the ball is tipped, and then the play begins. We started the game off with a full-court press. After 3 minutes into play, we had already reached a 25-0 lead. Like any rational thinking coach would do, I immediately stopped the full-court press, dropped into a 2-3 zone defense, and started subbing in my 3 bench players. This strategy continued for the rest of the game and allowed the Dallas Academy players to get the ball up the court for a chance to score. The second half started with a score of 59-0. Seeing that we would win by too wide of a margin, running down the clock was the only logical course of action left. Contrary to the articles, there were only a total of four 3-point baskets made; three in the first quarter, and only one in the third quarter. I continued to sub in bench players, play zone defense, and run the clock for the rest of the game. We played fair and honorably within the rules and in the presence of the parents, coaches, and athletic directors for both Covenant School and Dallas Academy.
