SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California high school basketball coach has been suspended and faces accusations of mercilessly running up the score after his team won a game 161-2, one of the most lopsided scores in state history.
Arroyo Valley High girls' coach Michael Anderson was suspended for two games after the victory last week against Bloomington High.
Anderson said that he wasn't trying to run up the score or embarrass the opposition. His team had won four previous games by at least 70 points, and Bloomington had already lost a game by 91.

Fair and equal in california? I say give the coach a life sentence
About twenty years ago, from the county where I grew up....they had a basketball coach whose team scored the first two points, stole the ball, and then held control for the rest of the game. End score: 2-0. A lot of people wanted the coach disciplined.
I say give him a medal. He let the losers score at least!
The tolerant Left don’t like teams running up the score and then touting a huge win. Too bad for the losing team, it was brutal. I just don’t get how they could go a whole game with 2 points.
I did some googling on the internet for both of the girls basketball teams and ran into a roster for each. The names are interesting - on both sides.
Any word on the much deserved sacking of the coach whose team could score only two points?
> “He’s a great X’s and O’s coach,” Chung said. “Ethically? Not so much. He knows what he did was wrong.”
This is the strangest planet I’ve ever been to.
Thin skinned leftist morons. The objective of the game is to score points. In the classroom are the honor students supposed to score a C grade so the D and F students don’t feel so threatened?
161 to 2?
Who is he coaching? The East German women’s Olympic team?
Well,the good news it wasn’t a Aztec lacrosse game!
“His team had won four previous games by at least 70 points, and Bloomington had already lost a game by 91.”
That’s the coach who ought to be suspended....in fact out of a job.
“The objective of the game is to score points. In the classroom are the honor students supposed to score a C grade so the D and F students don’t feel so threatened?”
I think we know THAT is where this is supposed to lead us. Yes.
Do you plan to share?
Isn’t point shaving against the law?
What is the coach supposed to do? Bench his entire team?
No.....it’s easy enough for someone to check if they are interested. It is not, however, a black-white thing, IMO.

I’m glad UConn never fire Gino after some of their games. I wonder if any of those ladies would join Gino’s team...
I think once the score gets to 50 - 2 or so, you spend the rest of the game having your third-stringers practice the four-corners and three-point shooting.
