Exactly this. Well, it reminds me of Kuroku's Basketball where the best team once humialiated its enemies by winning 111:11.

Point of the game is to win and not let up...letting up and going easy leads to bad habits that would allow better teams to possibly catch back up and steal a game

Unless the coach was suspended for anything else other than winning (by a lot), this suspension is undeserved

Stupid. The other team doesn't forfeit, you keep playing as normal until the clock runs out.

There is no mercy rule. The game is called off only when a team doesnt have enough players to continue, or the physical well-being of the players is in jeopardy. Prep baseball/softball is the closest youll get to a no contest rule where if one team is winning by so many runs before a certain inning the umpire will call the game. And this is done because unless the other team can get three outs the innings will go on indefinitely.

We had a really good basketball team in high school. I remember going to a game and the other team decided to dribble out the clock the entire two quarters they started with the ball. We still crushed them.

I coach high school sports. Im very right about what I just described. There never was a rule that called games because a team scored too many points compared to their opponent. You cant declare skunked and go home without forfeiting.

Well ok, I guess if the main purpose of school sports is to encourage children to develop a passion for athletics, then it's probably a net positive if you can guide your children to win an easy game without crushing the spirits of the other school's children. But it still seems kinda stupid to just expect the coach to be able to tune his team's performance just so.

How patronizing is this?

Oh for goodness sake. I think this is why Cobra Kai is so good. All of these adults are acting like getting housed in a high school basketball game is an unforgettable trauma. What a load of crock.

I doubt all of these girls are living in such a bubble considering the ones that lost are in public school. The coach sounds more humiliated than anything else but the commissioner might be making an even bigger deal of it.

Maybe you guys might want to take a break and instead read a little of what the winning school has on their website, so youll understand why theyre regretting their performance:

Our Mission Statement

The school is a community which promotes the growth of the whole person in a caring environment that encourages personal integrity, compassion, justice and sense of responsibility to self, to others and to the needs of society.

To be fair prep and highschool sports are just as much teaching sportsmanship and lessons as it is winning. Like 1% of kids will make it pro.

If they are playing normally then it's dumb to suspend him but if he was only pressing in the first half and that's their gameplan then it's whatever. Like take out starters play kids that normally don't play and if you're still bopping then not much you can do.

I think we went up 42-0 once in a half of high school football and they just ran the clock the second half. No time stoppages for out of bounds, incompletions, first downs, or for after change of possession(TO/punts/kickoffs). There were still time stops after touchdowns I think for the PATs and for lining up kickoffs.

Just one example, not entirely sure how it'd translate into basketball. Likely just no time stoppage for ball out of bounds?
