“What he is supposed to say “don’t play your best, the other team might cry”.”

You can p[lay your best by practicing things that don’t run up the score so much. Things like a set offense or half-court defense.

I think it would be wrong for the coach to cheat the other team out of the lesson they learned by losing 100-0. Forget about what message it would send to his own girls... that’s bad enough. You play sports 100% and I don’t think that the basketball court is an appropriate place to have equality-of-outcome liberalism rear its ugly head

This is nonsense. The girls on that Dallas Academy team want to PLAY basketball! Because they are playing an inferior team they can’t play the style they enjoy?

If you don’t want this to happens, don’t put schools like this on your schedule!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what this coach did. This coach got screwed.

Oh yeah... let's just stalemate these people here, we don't have to really try anymore... they're obviously not going to win.

See how insulting you are to these poor girls?

How do you know the LOSING girls didn't have an attitude problem? We always assume the one who loses is a victim. sheesh. They were all teen girls, chances are they ALL had attitudes.
