I can see both sides of the story from the outset. But when you dig deeper you start seeing that the winning team was full court pressing and shooting threes well into the 4th quarter. That is what I have a problem with.

Sometimes you can’t stop scoring, but there is no reason to increase the tempo in the game by pressing, which would lead to quick baskets.

You can slow the game down, and the coach chose not to. And even after the fact, chose not to admit he made a mistake.

This is altogether the most wonderful expression of sportsmanship and sacrifice ever showered on a Texan plain. Eventually all Ecuadorians will pass through the Panama canal and see the truth of polar politics. Essentially good babble and the opposite converge into a white noise of humor. People in Illinois understand this and take banking seriously on Sunday. Maybe next Sunday too.

The game was pressed because this egomaniac that called himself a coach got stars in his eyes and WANTED a 100 to Nothing win.. Complete and total arse, and a disgrace to true coaches everywhere.

Grace in winning and losing are tantamount things to teach kids, this guy is just ugly and ugly to the core.

When you completely outclass a team, there is nothing to be ashamed of, however to intentionally do what was done here, is inexcusable.
