“In fairness to the coach, if there was a shot clock in this game, then he could have held the ball on the offensive end for only so long - as the shot clock was winding down, what should he have told his girls to do - refuse to put up a shot?”

He managed to hold up once they got to 100 why not before then? The guy was pushing for the century mark. Should the team forfeit? no but dont pretend its a coincidence it was 100 to nothing

For the record - all of my prior musings on this thread are no longer valid.

It sounds like what he did was pull off the full-court press after it produced a 25-0 lead in just the first three minutes, but that his girls continued to mount an aggressive defensive attack at the half-court line [steal, layup, steal, layup, etc], which led to the point guard scoring 48 points.

If that's the case, then at some point [maybe 50-0?] he should have pulled his girls even further back into a zone, with strict instructions not to venture out beyond the three point arc under any circumstances.

On the other hand, if he was indeed allowing his girls to mount something akin to an aggressive half-court trap [which is what it sounds like], then I start to lose sympathy for the guy.

But again, for the record - until I see the actual game tape [which, obviously I will never see], then I reserve the right to spin on a dime and completely change my opinion.
