This week's bizarre High School Basketball Score

One of our area girls teams won 77-2 a few weeks back. Winning team is only mediocre, though that's a major improvement over the past few years. Losing team only got off four shots, with the points coming on a shot just inside the 3-point line with time winding down. Losing team is also a pretty new school and is in the process of joining the state athletic association.

 

In years past, schools 'starting from scratch' usually play only JV competition for a season or two before jumping into varsity play.

Of course, in the brave new world of instant charter schools and co- op homeschooling teams, the potential for galactic-class mismatches goes up . You have some charter schools run by bible-waving fancy-pants and others little more than fronts for all-star teams of AAU street ballers.

 

This school in question is a science academy that's been around for only a few years, but looking to step up its athletic competition. It will be a slow process.

 

Pull. Your. Team. Off. The. Floor.

 

That's touchy. Yes.....they don't deserve to get shit-housed like that. But by pulling your team off the floor, you're telling them it's OK to quit......but on the other side of the coin......they don't need to get humiliated like that....

I can see either side.

As an official.....we're running the clock.......league rules or state rules be damned.

 

If I were coaching again, and it got to the point where we were losing by 50, 60, 70, etc etc and the other team would not let up, I would pull the team off the court and say I did it to "Protect the safety of my players and eliminate the chance for serious injury" and double dog dare anybody (opponents, league honchos, AD-principal) to do or say anything about it.

 

This weekend's halftime score: 47-9. Final: 87-28.

High school girls shooting 3-pointers in the second half? Coach being blasted for running up the score?

Nah, just the women's college game between No. 2 UConn and Southern Methodist.

 

161-2; full-court press until halftime (104-1); winning coach suspended two games.

Losing coach: “People shouldn’t feel sorry for my team. They should feel sorry for his team, which isn’t learning the game the right way,” Bloomington coach Dale Chung said.

Nice. So now we have a fuckup coach who sends his team out to lose 161-2 making harrumphy snotty statements about 'playing the right way.'

A clue to the level of Bloomington's effort on the scoreboard: in the second half, they committed no (0) fouls.

 

Stupid fucks can't even spell San Bernardino correctly.

 

That's pretty bad.
