I can't agree. I'll never forget one baskeball game my daughter played in, her team was very outclassed by the other. The score was ridiculously lopsided and still the other team played like they were the LA Lakers in the playoffs, and the coach never even put his bench players in. It was just bullying, it was unnecessary and unsporting. All I can say to this day is those b*tches and their "coach" are lucky no one on our side got hurt.

So the United States thoroughly spanked Iraq in 1991, but it was unfair because we thoroughly spanked them.

Right?

I agree. The job of a coach is to get a win for his team, not to humiliate the opponent.

How were they bullying, exactly? Simply by outscoring?

There's a duty to put in your bench players at some point - not only out of good sportmanship, but becuase if you don't play them then - when the hell DO they get some playing time? Once they are in the game, they also have an obligation to try their hardest, however.
