Wa, boo hoo, a good team won big against a bad team? And the good team is supposed to be sad about it? Sounds like it could have been a mediocre or bad team and it still would have been a blow out.

If you can't take loss, here's a hint, don't get into competitive sports.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you've got more stones than some of the "men" in this thread. :bow:

It's not your opponents' job to make sure you don't get embarrassed on the court (or field) - it's YOUR job.

We lost 20 football games in a row my sophomore and junior years in high school. We never expected anyone to apologize for playing better than us. We kept working, we got better, and we ended the streak my senior year.

Yeah, because short attention spans and dyslexia really have a massive effect on one's physical coordination......:susp:

...and a 100 point victory is a great indicator of class.

The coach should be fired and the parents that were cheering should be killed so they don't spawn any more kids with zero sportsmanship.

High School sports isn't about scores or trophies. It's not about titles or records. It's supposed to be about sportsmanship.

I don't give a fuck if a team wins 100 to 0. I do care when a coach has his guys stealing bases up thirty runs. I care when an asshole has his starters in, throwing on first down up forty in the fourth. And it pisses me off when a classless fucking douche is full court pressing and launching threes up sixty at half.

Perhaps the coach that was on the way to losing 100-0 should've called time out and forfeited the game, rather than letting it play out the full 4 quarters. After all, shouldn't he be at least as concerned about his players as you expect the other to be?

But if he doesn't do that, at what point is the other team supposed to stop playing? What score is enough points? Not just this one game, but any game, what's the magic number? And what do you tell the backups who don't get to play a lot, when they get in a game but they're up by enough points, whatever that is? Don't try? Let the other team score?

Again, if the beating was just too much to bear the losing team's coach should've called time out and forfeited the game. The fact that the winning team is forfeiting after the game is asinine.

I guess I'm just not able to explain sportsmanship to someone that doesn't get it. It's not the winning teams job to "give up" or "stop trying"...but you don't have to run a motherfucking full court press when you are up sixty to zip. You don't have to steal bases when you have a fifteen run lead in the top of the ninth, and you don't have to be Oklahoma and run up the score with first stringers.

There was a game in which Naples (Carlos Hyde's team) won something like 96-0. I suggest you read that thread to find out what a coach with class and a sense of sportsmanship does in a similar situation.

Yes, I remember once watching my son in high school and the opposing team was up a ton of points. Well, the opposing coach told his QB's to start "taking a knee" late in the 3rd quarter. I suppose in his mind it was his way of keeping the score down. My son and the rest of the sophs on that team never forgot that as they were really embarrassed. Overall I guess it turned out okay as the guys on that time as they became senoirs vowed never to be embarrassed like that again.....and they weren't....

I witnessed a HS football game this past season where my old high school beat another team 96-0, taking only 19 offensive snaps and running up the middle every play. No starters played past the 1st quarter, and the 3rd and 4th team players were scoring in the 3rd quarter against the other team's starters, who never left the game. I knew many players on receiving team of the beating and none of them would have wanted the game to be forfeited.

It just seems like a moot point to forfeit the game in my opinion. It's not going to change what happened. Its the past and you can't change it. You can give the other team a 2-0 victory, but everyone knows what the real score was. I brought up the football score to make a point. I don't have a problem with a 96-0 score in football or a 100-0 score in basketball. What I do have a problem with is how a score like that was achieved. There's a right way to win and a wrong way. I watched my old team do everything in their power to avoid scoring, shortening the quarters to the point where basically a whole quarter was removed from the game, even taking knees in the 4th quarter at the 1 yard line.

It seems to me that this coach made it a mission to reach 100 points, in fact he even stopped his team at 100 with 4 minutes remaining in the game. Dropping 3's and running a full court press after being up 59-0 at the half is just plain wrong and the coach should be ashamed of himself.
