Strategically missing a shot to put yourself in a position to win is the same as strategically missing all your shots so you lose? Is this what you're saying?

I'm saying that it's clearly a spectrum and not an actual principle (as I assume you would happily miss the FT).

So in your real world, how others perceive you is not important? I think a recruiter would be interested to know that a potential recruit chose this loser's strategy because they didn't think they could beat another team. I assume your opinion is a team should be loaded with people like this.

My opinion is I play my game however I see fit and then let the results speak for themselves.

No, it shows realism.

For you, mostly everything apparently. For these girls, the bigger picture.

The bigger picture is getting into the easier side of the bracket and finishing higher.

This situation is black and white, and the side that I am on in this case is DEFINITELY the right one.

Nah. U just mad because not everyone sees it like you do.

But hey, maybe you should ask the coaches who will probably be fired, or the schools who are out $1,500, or the girls who won't even get the chance to lose to that better team.

Pussification of America. I'm highly aware of it.

So your saying the loser of this game would have no chance to win the title?
