A School Won 92-4 in Basketball. Then the Coach Was Suspended
X

We had a school in our area that did not have strong teams. We had to play them because they were part of the our district. We were a school that won, OSSA, COSSA III and several tournaments in Ontario.
When we played the weaker team our coach benched the starters after the first quarter and in the second half 2 of our starters switched jerseys with 2 from there team.
I always admired our coach for that move.

This works. I've been on both ends. You have to work on something with the starters. But after 15-20 up pull it back. Unless of course the other guy did it to you in another year....
This guy is a loser . . . hopefully at 47 years old he has learn his lesson . . .
Come on gwelfgulfer . . . he finally pulled his starters in the 4th quarter . . . this is a chance to play your bottom/younger players and give them some valuable experience . . . also some teaching/coaching moments . . .

If his team didn't feel this was a good idea or are against his style, then I'm sure more will come out given the story has gotten out. If his team is fine with it, are you then going to call them out as well?
So his bosses were not okay with it. So if "it's a real job down there", then he should have been smarter at figuring out exactly what his job was.

The other team, however, just plays to make others look bad.

It’s called sportsmanship. Coach is a douche.

I disagree. As I said, this is a real job down there, if anything, this was just a practice for his squad. People need to stop getting butt hurt over competition like it's a bad thing. If your team is that bad, and you still decide to field it, the rest is on you, not trying to seek mercy from the other side to save face.
Coddling the other school for 32 mins is far more insulting than what this score is. I'm sure it was already known that this was going to be a likely outcome, so why even bother playing the game at that point? If he was to play soft, he might lose his team (the real priority for him) after drilling into them hard work and dedication, which I'm sure the girls did if they are among the best in the state.
When we went to the US to play a couple of schools in high school, we would beat the piss out of the JV squad because that one didn't matter. Had to lose to the V squad and if we didn't, their coach would likely get fired from a $50k a year job in the early 2000s to coach high school bball. We didn't care as it was a road trip and got pizza.

Lyman Hall Coach Tom Lipka told the Hartford Courant that the Kirck’s team “showed no mercy throughout.”
“Sacred Heart pressed for most of the first half then called it off and went into a tight man-to-man defense trying to get steals,” Lipka said.
“They fast-breaked the entire game right to the end. They never went into a zone and continued to push the ball up the court and shoot threes whenever they could,” he continued. “They showed no mercy throughout.”
The Courant noted that Sacred Heart pulled its starters in the fourth quarter while 12 different players scored.
He knew before the game started that it was going to be a blowout. You mixed up starter with subs and make 2 lines . . . play zone . . . absolutely no fast break . . . let the weaker players take more shots . . . At the end the score is 46-10 and nobody hears about it. He deserved all the criticizing . . . You respect the other team and players . . .

I can't wait to hear his statement saying "That's not who I am.". Except, it really is.
Sorry, not sorry...
