Coach fired for "shameless" win over rival team

[classicman]

Dallas Academy ~snip~is winless over the last four seasons.[/b] The academy ~snip~ specializes in teaching students struggling with ``learning differences,'' such as short attention spans or dyslexia.

There is no mercy rule in girls basketball that shortens the game or permits the clock to continue running when scores become one-sided. There is, however, "a golden rule'' . . .

Dallas Academy team has been recognized for refusing to give up during the lopsided contest.

*Bold mine*

I wonder why these two teams even play each other. Perhaps a lack of other schools in the area? Perhaps this coach learned a lesson. I hope so. I think what he did was horrible.
Lookout can attest to some of the things a coach can do in these situations. Shooting with your opposite hand, min # of passes before shooting and so on. Seriously what was the coaches point here? The fact that the score ended EXACTLY 100-0 instead of 73 or 88 or some other indiscriminate number says a lot to me too.

I think that this coach lost a valuable opportunity to teach his team a life lesson. Perhaps those who fired him did.


Oh and Kudos to the Academy for never quitting!
