Wow...the opposing team's coach is really butthurt.
 "They should feel sorry for his[Anderson's] team. They aren't learning to play the game the right way."I dunno...winning by that large a margin seems to indicate they know the game pretty well. |

If I was on a team that could only score one foul shot in a half, I wouldn't publicize what a loser I was. I would just slowly disappear from sports and hope people forgot.

If the other team got beat that bad they deserved it for even stepping on the court so badly prepared. I know what would happen if I stepped in the Octagon, and that's why I stay the fuck out.

When this happened when I was a kid, the losing coach could concede the game at halftime if the ass whompin was getting intense.
But to be mad at the GOOD team? There's no hope for this world. |

Here's the deal:
Yes the team is good. Yes the coach should get some credit for kicking ass. However, if the coach and team are assholes about it, nobody will sign contracts to play them. If that happens, the team loses money and community suoport. The coach gets replaced. The team gets weaker. The kids lose because mediocrity ends up winning because coach decides pride is more important than taking the opportunity to grow the game and tighten the sport's sense of community. This is coming from a HS, Collegiate, and Olympic athlete coach. |

What the coach should do is play out the game, then encourage the school's AD to NEVER sign another athletic contract with that school. The next step is to encourage the other ADs in the losing school's conference to follow suit. |

The only question is why couldn't they have hit 200.
If your team can hold another team to 2 while you score 161 that's good coaching. The other coach should be ashamed of herself for not teaching her team to play basketball. It's crazy they did a full court press the entire first half lol |

Lets see... losing coaches players loose by 91 the next game they loose by 159 ---and he is criticizing the winning coaches ethics ??? Does the losing coach get paid ? does he cash the checks? Is that ethical ? Maybe if he were more worried about fundamentals and basketball and less about ethics.......

If they just would not keep score, and give everyone a trophy, this would not be an issue.
He should have played the second and third stringers, if they were able to run up the score, too damn bad. Life lessons can be hard. |

So much douchery... easing up on a team to let them score isn't just about making them feel good. It's about showing them grace AND teaching the winning players how to show it, to learn some humility, and not be prick douchebags consumed with how awesome they are.
I know because I was on one of those winning teams in a killing game, and forever have remembered what that coach had us do... stand by and let that team score, somewhat embarrassing, but he taught us not to be pricks. Consider that for a moment. Should she be suspended, probably not, but she should be called out for being a prickette. |

"They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way." Doesn't seem that way to me. |

"I didn't play any starters in the second half. I didn't expect them to be that bad. I'm not trying to embarrass anybody."
He says if he had it to do again, he'd have played only reserves after the first quarter, or "I wouldn't play the game at all." He did all he could beside tell his team to sit down. I'd have gone for 200 |
