100-0 beatdown

This has been all over the Dallas Morning News. Boy that game must have looked like a winged duck falling into piranhas. |

This basketball game is a disgrace. I hope the coach of the winning team gets fired.

Amazing.

In soccer, it is traditional among good sports that a dominant team reposition its players against an inferior team once the score gets out of hand, and then to start pulling players to reduce the numbers. I heard the score of a team in our club defeating another team 15-0. I complained that the coach should be embarrassed, but the coach explained he had petitioned to allow his team to play up and decided to load up to show the league that it should move the boys up. Pity the poor teams who will suffer shallackings to see the coach's point.

The losing team canceled the rest of their league games. Presumably to teach their girls how to respond to adversity.
There are 20 girls in the entire school. The article I read, said they lost a recent game 41-8. That's a "better" score. But how much better? |

I will make the further point, that in my life, I have seen little correlation between academic performance and basketball ability. |
