re: Coach Fired for 100-0 Win

To me as a player it would be much more embarrassing for the other team to quit playing because they felt sorry for us than to run up the score.

---

Well you would have been embarrassed, then. They stopped scoring with 4 minutes left in the game, after they got to 100.

It looks like to me he was fired because he wouldn't apologize like the headmaster wanted him to. I say good for him. If they want him to coach apologetic basketball then let them hire John Brady.

Listen, I am all about a team playing hard, but come on 100-0. That's absurd. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED!!!

if I was refing that game, I would have made sure the other team went to the line as many times as needed to put points on the board. There would have been some ticky-tack fouls called in the 2nd half of the game

you would be one shitty ref

Anybody mention that the other team only had 8 players as well? I said this in another thread, if the losing team hasn't won a game in 4 years and hides behind their "special needs school" tag then they have no business putting a team on the court...this goes along with only having a pool of 20 girls to chose from in the whole school.

The coach would never have been put in a position to publicy defend himself which got him fired if the national media didn't decide for whatever reason this daily 80+ point high school girls blow out warranted national coverage.

I truly beleive if the score would have been 99-0 or 106-4, this would have been a non story. The fact that it landed on magic numbers 100 and 0 made it a target. IMO FWIW GFY

haven't confirmed this yet, not sure we'll even mention it, but we've been told that the coach used to coach at mckinley here in BR

Heres a Q for ya then, why did the principal even allow the school to schedule with such a weak (we need your love and tender treatment) opponent? Why was the game not scheduled for half the normal time, apparently these poor poor students had ADHD anyway?

1.) It was a district game. Part of TAPPS.

2.) "Love and tender" ... Where have you heard about the losing school complaining at all. Hint. They haven't. They've been a great group of kids. I don't see where they deserve your snide comments.

3.) "Poor, poor students". Where do you get the idea they are "poor, poor students"? What does that have to do with the ability to play basketball. From what I have learned about the school, they are quite capable students.

I think you are getting him confused with one of the Capitol girls coaches. They have been beating teams like step children for years with similar scores to the Dallas scores.
