Maybe Grimes let his team run the score up in protest against having to play a team that had no business being on the court.
I’m am sure I am not the only one with this kind of story:
When I was in JR high, our basketball team was horrible.We would lose by 50 or 60 points easily. After each lost,our coach would have us practice full court defensive drills and run wind sprints until our lungs exploded.Furthermore, our parents NEVER took pity on us and always expected us to improve.
We lost every game my first year of JR high and the first several of my second year. Eventually, we became competetive and the other teams no longer regarded us as pushovers. When we finally won our only game of the year, we celebrated like rock stars.
I predict that Coach Grimes will quickly find another job.
I was surprised to hear so many people on the local radio show supporting this firing. One dissenting voice compared it to a track meet....you wouldn’t encourage a runner to slow down if he (or she) was winning by a mile. As long as these girls were good sports in this game, they should be congratulated.
It is now clear to me that the successful basketball shooting by the Covenant School girls was grossly disproportionate to the unsuccessful shooting by the Dallas Academy girls. Coach Grimes should probably be brought before the International Court of Justice in the Hague, and tried for his brutal crimes against the psychological well being of the Dallas Academy players.
Or else perhaps Dallas Academy should hire the now unemployed but talented coach, and then in a year or two they may win a lopsided victory over Covenant school.
