INDIANAPOLIS -- The Bloomington South High School girls' basketball team beat Arlington High School 107-2 on Tuesday night in Indianapolis, prompting an official with the state prep sports association to say he never wants to see an outcome so one-sided again.
"(The score) is probably not what we would like to see," Chris Kaufman, a spokesman for the Indiana High School Athletic Association, told RTV6 in Indianapolis.
Bloomington South coach Larry Winters told the Indianapolis Star there was no effort to embarrass Arlington or run up the score. Winters said he played all nine of his players.
"I didn't tell my girls to stop shooting because that would have been more embarrassing (to Arlington)," Winters said, telling the Star that Arlington's defense was in an aggressive 2-3 zone. "We were not trying to embarrass them or run up the score."
Arlington's only points came on a free throw in the second quarter and another in the third. There is no "mercy rule" in Indiana, where games are halted when a score gets out of hand.
First-year Arlington coach Ebony Jackson says she was disappointed with how Bloomington South (8-1) handled the game. Her team is 0-6 this year and has lost 23 straight games.
"No, it's not OK but (Winters) will have to live with that," Jackson said, according to the Star. "If that's how they want to carry themselves, that's fine. I'm focused on me and mine and we'll just keep going."
In its report, the Star carried tweets from outraged fans. From one: "This is disgraceful & a blow 2the integrity of (Indiana high school basketball)."

Huh? ???
So they won a match and they are the bad guys?
Fucking bullshit. Losing team should have pulled. WTF is wrong with people nowadays?

Know how I can tell you don't play any sports.

i think once the game was 50-2, my team would start issuing flagrant fouls every time someone came down the lane.
Wouldn't be enough players left to finish game :)

Look at how the rich and successful are vilified these days and you see why they are upset. Success is criminal, didn't you know that?
-
I'm confused. So they got a mudhole stomped in them, and they're bitching about what? Being crushed? Having been driven before them? Hearing the lamentations of their women?
Shit happens, they lost. Badly.
Maybe they should worry more about practicing than they do about being upset at the other team for crushing them.
-

The fuck are you talking about?
I play to win. Is that a problem? What should have happened - they should have thrown the game, started passing the ball amongst themselves, start throwing into their own basket?
-
When I was a kid playing in any competition only 1st, 2nd and 3rd recieved medals, trophies whatever. today every kid gets a medal or trophy for participating. It is a generation of kids who think they deserve everything without putting in any work.

What happened to the Mercy Rule in high School ??? ???

Last week the Arizona Cardinals were crying and bitching because Seahawks coach Pete Carol was throwing bombs in the endzone on 4th and 15 with 4min left in the game and up 58-0
Pete is also a little bitch, he was crying and whining like a hoe, when both him and Jim Harbaugh were in college and Stanford ran the score up on his ass at USC
im all for running up the score on anyone, fuck em, You play to the whistle, and you give the fans their moneys worth of entertainment

No, tough guy. When you have a huge lead, and the other team isn't in the game, you throttle back. You show some tact and class, and don't rub their noses in it.

Pffft. You go to the bell. Crush, kill, destroy. Other guys can't keep up, fuck 'em.

Here is what happens when you dont kill your opponent ......
Oilers were up 35-3 and they let off on the Bills midway thru the 3rd quarter

Well, normally I agree. But they did play the bench. And also, some of these kids might be up for scholarships, and stats are important factors in that.
If I were the coach, it'd be a tough call. Sit your starters who could rack up some big stats for a free ride to D1 school? It's a fine line between teaching sportsmanship as a coach, and acknowledging that one of your jobs is also to help these kids get to the next level.
If he hadn't played his bench, I'd agree - bullshit move. But he did sit his starters for some of the game.

Points taken. But if I was that coach - it was 107 to 2 in a high school game!!! - I'd be hanging my head for years to come. Uncool.

The coach of the losing team should have thrown in the towel at some point, if it was possible. When the other coach is playing the bench and you still can't compete, it's time to rethink your strategy.

Why do woman even play sports ??? ???
Stupid hoes should be in Home Economics learning to make scrabbled eggs and bacon for breakfast and a fucking tuna sandwich for lunch

If a team is that much better than another team, it is up to the BETTER team to play down to the level of the worse team, not the other way around. It's not like the worse team can just choose to play as good as the better team.
It's the only way that's fair to everyone.

True. There are other ways to play the game when in a blowout.
He could have told his team - no points in the paint. Shoot 3's, or at least outside the paint and work on your jumpers.
He could have also told the team "no offensive rebounds unless it basically bounces into your hands". That would have cut down on the scoring.
-
The coach said that it would be more embarassing if the team just dribbled around for minutes making the other team look like fools.
-
Truth on both sides. Would have been better sportsmanship for the winning team to engage in more of a practice game once they got way up, like no offensive rebounds and only 3 pointers as someone else suggested. But at the same time, if you can't stand the heat then try the fuck out the kitchen.
-
Stay

Bad Move
If he is Resting Alex then its a good thing, but if Coach really benched him, man thats a bad move
Kaepernick will choke under playoff pressure

bingo. Bad coching move. Karpernick in a 20-17 game against the packers in teh NFC champ game would melt down. Plus his stats actually suck shit. The offense sucks. They are winning because of their D.

Girls Basketball Coach Fired After 100-0 Win
The coach of a Texas high school basketball team that beat another team 100-0 was fired Sunday, the same day he sent an e-mail to a newspaper saying he will not apologize "for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."
Kyle Queal, the headmaster for Covenant School, said in The Dallas Morning News online edition that he could not answer if the firing was a direct result of coach Micah Grimes' e-mail disagreeing with administrators who called the blowout "shameful."
Queal did not immediately answer phone messages or e-mail from The Associated Press.
On its Web site last week, Covenant, a private Christian school, posted a statement regretting the outcome of its Jan. 13 shutout win over Dallas Academy. "It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened. This clearly does not reflect a Christlike and honorable approach to competition," said the statement, signed by Queal and board chair Todd Doshier.
Grimes, who has been criticized for letting the game get so far out of hand, made it clear in the e-mail Sunday to the newspaper that he does not agree with his school's assessment.
"In response to the statement posted on The Covenant School Web site, I do not agree with the apology or the notion that the Covenant School girls basketball team should feel embarrassed or ashamed," Grimes wrote in the e-mail, according to the newspaper. "We played the game as it was meant to be played. My values and my beliefs would not allow me to run up the score on any opponent, and it will not allow me to apologize for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."
A phone number for Grimes could not be located by The Associated Press. The Dallas Morning News said Grimes did not respond to their repeated e-mail requests for a telephone interview.
There was no answer at a number listed for Doshier.
A parent who attended the game said Covenant continued to make 3-pointers — even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.
Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime.
Dallas Academy has eight girls on its varsity team and about 20 girls in its high school. It is winless over the last four seasons. The academy boasts of its small class sizes and 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" that should have applied in this contest, Edd Burleson, the director of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, said last week. Both schools are members of this association, which oversees private school athletics in Texas.
The story has received national attention, and the Dallas Academy team has been recognized for refusing to give up during the lopsided contest.

Exactly!
The winners are being vilified here for winning.
The humiliation could have been stopped at any time by the losers pulling out. The winning coach/team has no need to hang their heads in shame. The person that should be doing that is Ebony.

all these girls want to play a mans game, then when they lose they revert back to their pussy ways by crying like bitches

Fucking wow. Do your job well, get fired. What in the holy fuck is happening in this country?
I doubt that this will be the end of this story.
Backlash & reinstatement within a week.

I remember participating in the newly formed basketball team my high school had. We played the national champions and got beaten something like 100+ to 2. It was, ironically, something great, we felt like we needed to train harder, and we did, eventually the distance shortened and now my school plays the honour league.
Fucking pussies.

if it was a boys basketball game..... Would the same people be out in force asking to hang the coach ??? ???

I watched our hopeless small HS team get pantsed. Something like 120-15. We were all white and they were all black. They were really rubbing it in too, in the style of Globetrotters vs Generals, and loving it. In the 4th, our clever little cheerleaders came up with: "That's alright, that's ok, you'll all work for us someday." Over & over. No one told them to stfu. Looking back, I should have found my balls, gone down from the stands and told them to put a sock in it.
Never seen an athletic competition bring out admirable behavior, particularly team sports. Win or lose, players and spectators just can't help behaving like assholes.
