the OTHER team should have forfeited at half-time.
now if i was the coach of the winning team, would i have kept my foot on the gas? no.
but the team that won 100-0 is going to face stiffer competition along the way. why should they compromise the edge they need to go easy on a clearly inferior team?
the team that couldn't muster a single bucket should field a stronger team. they should switch to a different league or hang up their uniforms. period.
@Swiftarrow - But, dead meat is supposed to be butchered, dressed, and cooked.
At the highest level of sports, it's pretty much a given that teams don't run up the score when the game has been decided. An opponent is not your enemy. That's the gold standard of sportsmanship in a MATCH. Watch a typical NBA game and the starters get pulled in the 4th quarter of a blowout. Football teams resort to running the ball exclusively and kneeling when the game is decided. Golf match play declares the winner as soon as his lead is insurmountable yet the loser is awarded the remaining holes. The only exception to the rule is NCAA football because margin of victory affect the rankings. Yet another reason by the BCS is broken.
This is an egregious example of lack of sportsmanship, pure and simple.
the coach got fired.
sad. he stopped the full court press after the girls were up by 25 points. i think he even emptied the bench.
should the coach have tied two girls together at their ankles like a three-legged race so the other team gets to play 5-on-4?

It's not about the winning.
It's about the butchering of dead meat. ;p
