I see you're a public high school student and don't know the difference between halves and quarters, so let me try and explain this to you.
High School Basketball has four (4) twelve (12) minute quarters, at least where I live and went to school. Given a 12 minute quarter and a 24 second shot clock, each team has a minimum of 1 posession per minute available to them, with time left over in that minute.
Do the math, 12*60=720 (that's the number of seconds per quarter.) Divide 720 seconds by 24 (the number of seconds on the shot clock) to obtain the minimum number of posessions available. The answer is 30. Assuming each team used up the 24 second clock on each posession, each team would have 15 posessions per quarter.
Now, given the fact the team scored 31 points in the second half on perhaps 30 posessions using the math above, this would mean mathematically that they only scored on every other posession across 2 quarters.
Gee, it sure looks to me like they gave the other team every opportunity to score, and probably did in fact do a good job of running out the clock. If they hadn't, the score would've likely been 200 - 0 at the rate they were going.
Rather than being condescending, you should have read the next post, which stated halves should be quarters, I corrected my own mistake, but if you feel that talking down to folks makes you feel better, feel free.
Sorry, you can believe this was some grand event from your view, but this was all about getting triple digits to zip, the coach was rightly fired. I’ve played sports my entire life, and I’ve been on both sides of the complete mismatch, not only as a player, but also as a coach, there is no way in hell you are going to spin this as anything other than what it was.
A coach, who frankly disgraced the name that day. If you are playing down, after its obvious you completely outclass the other team,and have told your players to check their play, there is no way in a basketball game you get ZERO on the other side of the scoreboard, sorry doesn’t happen.
I can take five 2nd graders out a court and if they are allowed to shoot, will make baskets, there is no way you can claim this team checked its play with zero on the other side of the scoreboard, just doesn’t pass the smell test.
