Way to put the hammer down on a group of girls who have problems bigger than winning basketball games.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Dallas Academy has no business even attempting to play competitive basketball. Drawing from a pool of 20 kids, all of whom have mental issues? That's just ****ing brilliant. :shake:

No shit.

It's a fine, Christian example...

Sorry, but its stupid. The losing team learns nothing, the winning team learns less. Yeah, let's press and shoot 3's in the fourth quarter on a team that is filled with mentally challenged folks.

Just damned brilliant. If my girl played on the winning team, she wouldn't be playing today.

There is more to life than slamming people less capable than you.

All future Oklahoma Sooners, no doubt...

On the one hand they should of not press too hard. The other hand the losing team don't want to think the winning team was taking it easy on them. This will only want to make the losing team try harder. I think they will be a better team for it.


P.s. I like womans basketball i have friends who playing for ku and ksu. They play hard and are exciting to watch.

Knowing that your team that hasn't won a game in 4 years isn't going to be competitive is one thing. Expecting some team with zero clue about sportsmanship to repeatedly stomp on your throat is something else.

They are kids trying to live a quasi-normal high school life with normal high school activities like sports. I can't fault them for that.

I don't feel sorry for the losing team. I feel sorry for the winning team. Those girls are now going to get a lesson about sportsmanship from the national media, when they should have been getting it from their coach. And I don't think the exposure is going to make them feel like the basketball demi-gods that they apparently thought they were on that particular night.

The coaching staff gets all the blame IMO. You can't blame the ladies for giving it their all and not letting up. That is what you are supposed to do.

That being said, the coach is well aware that the other team hasn't won a game in four years. Why press in the first place? He could have played a zone and won just as easily with a half court game.

Why throw down your full house when you can beat them with just a pair?

Oh look, the press found a convenient villain who we can lash out at with no consequence and who may actually pay a price for a stupid but overall harmless mistake which we know only exactly what the people reporting the story decide to tell us. And who is more deserving of our discerning compassion than the learning challenged who were beaten in basketball game.

Never mind that homeless person you passed on the way to work today who may have fought a war for your freedom. Or the families going homeless because greedy bankers found a way to make money off defaulted loans while our government bails them out with our tax money - or the millions of other real atrocities.

Break out the pitchforks and torches fellow townsfolk and get ready to storm the village, we have found our witch.

reminds me when pitt state hung 93 on rolla. They were trying not to score but rolla kept fumbling

So the winning team continued its full court press and bombing 3 pointers for the entire game while playing with an insurmountable lead against a bunch of "learning differences" challenged students.

Great. My suggested punishment would be for the winning team to be forced to play their choice of a professional NBA team, the players of whom would be awarded prize money (donated to their favorite charity) based on the margin of victory.

Unfortunately, I suspect even under those circumstances the NBA players would actually not have the heart to do what these pathetic girls did. Yeesh.

Dude our OCA girls just beat a team in OKC 77-17 on Tuesday night... And they had benchwarmers in all the second half...

They definitely need a mercy rule. Score enough points to start the running clock, put in the third-stringers, and get the game over with. I can't bash the losing team because they simply don't have enough talent.

The Covenant head coach is an absolute freaking douchebag...running a full court press and having his team bomb 3 point shots in the 2nd half then they were already up by 53 points and knew the other team had no chance.

Boy that's a lot of class there.

Can't really blame the players as they were just following instructions.

No point in Dallas Academy having a team either...seems like they're not gaining anything at all by having four winless seasons, etc.

Right, that's fine. Were they playing full court press and raining 3's at every opportunity?

Winning 100-0 isn't where the winners went wrong here. What went wrong was continuing to do everything possible to win by the greatest possible margin until they scored 100 points with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
