100-0 basketball game -- wrong or not?

Now, once the game went into the second half, all of you that are against the winning coach, how would you have handled it? Do you put in your three bench players and tell them to just stand there and hold the ball at halfcourt? Since there is no shot clock, technically, he can just have his players stand there and just hold the ball for the whole quarter. Is that what you would have had your players do?

There are huge disparities in this state among private schools. This team probably had very few teams that it could play, the leagues are just not that big.
Example: Dallas Bishop Lynch, also a private parochial school, routinely recruits college caliber players for its girls team. They have won the state title in TAAPS 19 out of the past 20 years. They kill the same Catholic school located in San Antonio in the title game every other year it seems. This team also recruits. The interesting thing is the public schools are usually better.

So I guess it was probably a very difficult situation.

BTW. They showed this team practicing after this destruction on the hardwood. My daughter's high school team would have slaughtered this 100-0winner. My daughter's team finished 3rd to last (9 teams) in their 5A (largest schools usually 2800 kids and up) division. So my question is what the heck was wrong with that other team? Was it a school for the blind or some school for kids that are disabled...? I have not found anything out about this...

OOps. Just read it was a special needs team.
That explains it.
Good Christ... forget the above.
