Sorry, no excuses, this score was run up because of this guys need to see 3 digits on the scoreboard. He can spin all he wants. You can get through a 1/2 of High School basketball without putting 60 points on a scoreboard, let alone another 40+ on top of it, if you have proven you completely outclass the other team.

This display was shameful. A coach is meant to teach, what lesson did he teach his players or his opponents that night? Not a damn thing.

HS basketball has a 20 minute half, assuming they payed with a 45 second shot clock, and never ever missed a single shot attempt, and that the opponents spent not one second actually handling the ball, the maximum score per half would be 52 points if all 2 point shots were taken, and the 45 seconds was wound down. His second half performance fell 11 points below that... don’t give me you have nothing to be ashamed of.

I however do not just blame this coach, I blame the parents of these kids for not calling him for it during the game, I would pull my kid from a game like this and dress down the coach publicly. There was absolutely no honor in this.

Sorry bad math, 21 points shy of that maximum, not 11.

However letting it get to 59 to 0 at the half, rediculous.
