January 16, 201511 yr California High School Girls Basketball Coach Suspended After Massive Win | Bleacher Report Pretty unbelievable that this game was even allowed to take place. (its California tho)
January 16, 201511 yr If your basis is "well they scheduled the game" then you're cool with pressing the entire game and only playing the 5 starters. Yes, if that's what the coach decided to do, I would not have an issue with it. You have your opinion, I have mine. No more, no less.
January 16, 201511 yr They did run the clock, didn't they? Waited until after the shot clock was under 7 to shoot. You rather they just get a shot clock violation the entire time? They did in the 2nd half...after it was 104-1.
January 16, 201511 yr Yes, if that's what the coach decided to do, I would not have an issue with it. You have your opinion, I have mine. No more, no less. Of course all have opinions. I just want to be clear as to what you think it acceptable.

January 16, 201511 yr "People shouldn't feel sorry for my team. They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way," he said. He also questioned Anderson's approach. "I've known him for about seven years ... He's a great Xs and Os coach. Ethically? Not so much," he said. "He knows what he did was wrong."

January 16, 201511 yr And from this article: Chung said that Arroyo Valley (14-1) played a full-court press for the entire first half and led 104-1 at halftime. “We only got the ball past halfcourt maybe four or five times in the first half,” Chung said. Although Arroyo Valley coach Michael Anderson told Chung before the game he was going to full-court press for the first three quarters, Arroyo Valley switched to a half-court trap to start the second half. Chung said Arroyo Valley changed from that in the fourth quarter. http://www.dailybulletin.com/sports/20150108/arroyo-valley-girls-basketball-blows-out-bloomington-161-2-sportsmanship-questioned
January 16, 201511 yr As I said, the person who should be suspended (if anyone) is the person who scheduled the game. There's no reason to play it. From either side. If you're going to play it, then what happens, happens. Are we sure it is not a league game that has to be played?? We have some pretty lopsided games in KY football because a team is forced to play another. I would not suspend the coach the first time it happened unless he was warned before hand. If it happens again, then its a problem...

I would not suspend the coach the first time it happened unless he was warned before hand. If it happens again, then its a problem... It was not a league game. In the article they said it was the last game before league play started.

They could've easily said they weren't playing it. They get a forfeit loss, the other team gets a win in the record book.
January 16, 201511 yr Author "People shouldn't feel sorry for my team. They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way," he said. Sounds like the winning team is learning to play to their full potential at all times, right down to the last person on the bench...
January 16, 201511 yr A littlie off the subject, but after looking the losing school up...how can a school with over 2,700 students field a team that bad?
January 16, 201511 yr And then one of his bench players comes in and hits 8 or 9 three pointers. Apparently after the shot clock got below 7 seconds. What can you do....... Why are you shooting 3 pointers if your up by triple digits?
January 16, 201511 yr 161-2 is a pathetic display. There's no excuse and no way to spin it to make it "right". The coach is a clown and his suspension was well deserved.
January 16, 201511 yr Why are you shooting 3 pointers if your up by triple digits? I don't have a problem with that. It's a lower % shot than them driving to the hole for an easy layup.
