That's the upside to having a team full of girls with attention deficits and other learning disorders :eek:

Just when this story couldn't get any more stupid...

DALLAS (AP) ? The coach of a Dallas high school basketball team that beat another team 100-0 was fired Sunday, the same day he sent an e-mail to USA TODAY and other news media outlets saying he will not apologize "for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."

That'll teach him, and those girls on his team better learn from their mistake and stop being so mean. :roll1:

What are the actions of the administration to which you are referring?

Do you mean simply having a team? If so, the thought that at the high school level the ability to participate in a sport should be removed because there aren't enough superstars to be competitive is truly silly. I know we get a little obsessed about the highly competitive side of high school sports, but at that level, the more kids who want to be involved in sports, the better. And packing it up because you aren't good enough would be shameful. Planning divisions and such is where the miscellaneous factors like school size should be equalized and maybe that could use some adjustment here... but I surely hope you aren't saying those girls shouldn't have a chance to play.

My point was that the school should choose its competition such that beatdowns of this magnitude are less likely. And if the level of competition was as low as this school could find -- well, I think it's pretty obvious the wrong coach was fired. Basketball is a sport in which effort and tenacity will allow you to hold a high-school team well under the century, even with close to zero natural ability.
