Classless describes it about right. There seems to be one or two notorious stories like this per year in the scholastic ranks so I guess coaches will never change.
I heard some of the parents defending the score by saying the coach "didn't try to blow the other team out". He didn't mean it? Thinks just happen? Seriously?!? At what point did he realize that he was in fact succeeding in blowing the other team out? 60-2? 70-2? 80-2? Maybe it never occurred to him and therein lies the problem.
RTV6 - Sports host Joe Staysniak: Winning coach in 107-2 high school basketball game classless - Sports Story:
"I don't know how as a coach you can live with yourself allowing something like that to happen," Staysniak said. "Why not go down and pass the ball 10 times. Let's work on the other aspects of our game."
In a statement Wednesday night, the Bloomington South athletic department defended the win.
"The girls on both teams played hard and continued to compete the entire game. To do anything less by either team would have been demeaning," the statement read. "Arlington came out and worked on their player development, as did we. The longstanding reputation of our program and coach is one that would validate this information."'via Blog this'
