It’s worse than that. They were up 25 3 minutes into the game. That means they scored 34 in the following 21 minutes up to the half then 41 in the following 24.

There was no let up in the second half. Also, getting 100 points meant something to the coach. The fact that the other team didn’t score a single point is also disturbing.

This wasn’t about “being the best” it was about vengeance for an earlier lopsided loss and humiliating the other teams players.

Not very Christian.

Thats how I came to see it.

I once played in an intramural game where we scored 50 points before halftime...but the other team was stoned out of their minds...yes, I’m being serious here.

I feel sorry for everybody involved. The losing team will never forget the humiliation, the winning team will never forget the coach being fired, the coach will never forget it either.

I wonder...what was the fan reaction to this? Were there any in attendance at the end?

Even if this is the case (and it is a big assumption that requires mind reading and assuming the coach lied in his letter), so what.. welcome to the real world..

This is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Why is this a point of national discussion?
These kind of scores happen all the time.
We got more pressing problems than the lopsided score of a basketball game.
