More running up the scoreage

[Della9250]

Loaded boys team sets Texas HS record for points in a 170-35 victory. Scored 53 in the first quarter and was up 100-14 at half. Coach sounds like a ****.

Love the term "scoreage."

Oh, by the way......

Sounds like the people we love to mock here, as well!

 

[deskslave]

Equivalent to 255 points in a 48-minute game, FWIW.

National record for points in a HS game is 211. 211?!

It's Texas people...

Par.For.Course.

In the third quarter, a fight erupted after an intentional foul was called on a Lee player. After breaking up the fight, the referees told both coaches they would have to play just five players the remainder of the game. The other players for both teams spent the rest of the second half sitting in the stands.

“I feel very disrespected right now,” Lee coach Jacques Armant said. “I don't understand why Yates just kept scoring and pressing when they were up so much. These are kids. It isn't good to do that to other young men.”

Dude.

Pull
Your
Team
Off
The
Court.

Take your ball and go home. Walk out the door with middle fingers held high.
But please please please please do not ****ing whine.

Wasn't there a story last season of a girls team doing some huge run-up in the Dallas area?

Yeah, a couple months or so ago.

That was the 100-0 game. Against the girls with learning disabilities. Coach got ****canned.

I agree that they shouldn't be trapping and pressing up 80 in the second quarter, but I do agree with the Lee coach on one thing: you shouldn't put your end-of-the-bench guys in the game and tell them to just stand at the top and dribble so the other team doesn't get its feelings hurt.

Instead of that, Armant should have had each of his players intentionally foul another kid and get tossed. Then, they could walk out.

Teach the other team not to run it up so bad. Try to embarrass the other, team, get clotheslined on the way to the hoop.

I watched Yates play last week -- very good, very cocky... press and run all the time. Going into the T-Mobile tourney, they averaged 116 per game; scored like 88 and 108 in the tourney.

They aren't going to ****can this guy for running up the score.

On one thread we're demanding a coach be fired immediately for throwing a volleyball at a player.

Here we're advocating a coach instructing his players to clothesline the opposing team's players.

Hmmmmmm . . .

I've come across this before, from teams that do nothing but press and trap for defense. They refuse to back down on that and play a halfcourt game when they're up by huge margins because, "it's what we do." However, their comeuppance is usually when they face a team that can break their press. Then, they have no clue how to play defense in a halfcourt game, plus they have no idea how to play offense if the offense isn't generated by steals or turnovers. Eventually, it all comes around.

Where I a coach, I would welcome the chance for my kids to play in a halfcourt game one in awhile to be prepared for the team that does beat your press. And someone always does.

Sadly, yates is one of those teams where very few opponents are going to solve their press. They can go 15 deep and tire out their opponents. Watched them last week go on a 22-0 run in like 3:40 of the second quarter against a team from Alabama that had won four titles in six years and was favored to win their third-straight. Yates is scary good.

Malcolm Gladwell thinks Lee would have pulled the upset if they would have implemented a press.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I would love to know how many players live in the Yates boundaries or anywhere close. Someone said they'll get their comeuppance, but I seriously doubt it. This is a recruited all-star team that continues to mingle with the standard high schools where the kids actually go to school and the prom and stuff. Yates goes from basically a college-level itinerary of Oak Hill and St. Elizabeth Prep to playing the school a couple miles away -- probably a school some of the Yates kids should be attending if boundaries still mattered. Fair play isn't even a possibility.

Basketball is the most broken of all the high school sports. It's almost to the point that if a kid is playing for his neighborhood school, you know he has no future at the next level.

One is being provoked. The other one isn't.

The volleyball player did nothing to the coach to merit getting hit in the head with a ball. (Get locked in a closet ... maybe)

In the basketball case, the opposing coach is delibrately trying to humiliate the opposing team, and basically can, unless the losing team does something. They can either A. Get embarrassed more on the court. B. Walk off, and have everyone brand them as not only losers, but quitters as well, or C. Fight back. They chose C in this case.

 

[BTExpress]

One is being provoked. The other one isn't.

One can also lead to serious injury. The other may leave a tiny bruise.

Neither is bring provoked.

Otherwise, the ball-throwing coach would be justified in throwing the ball if his team was getting beat 25-1, 25-1, 24-0.

I assume it's different people in the different threads saying the different things.
