One of the guiding principles of Sacred Heart Academy, a girls Catholic college preparatory school in Hamden, is compassion. It’s stated right there at the top of its website.

You wonder at what point Monday night during Sacred Heart’s ungodly 92-4 beating of Lyman Hall-Wallingford did coach Jason Kirck catch the scent of a decided lack of compassion.

Ninety-two points in a 32-minute high school girls basketball game with no shot clock does not happen by accident.

When did it hit Kirck, whoa, this SCC game has gotten out of hand and I better do something about it? Was it 29-0 after one quarter? Was it 56-0 at halftime? Was it 80-0 after three quarters?

Or did he never feel he was involved in anything wrong? If he didn’t, there most certainly is something deeply wrong.

Kirck coached the Staples boys varsity from 1997-2007 before spending a dozen years as boys assistant at Notre Dame-West Haven. He also was the director for the girls AAU teams in the Connecticut Basketball Academy for four years before taking over a Sacred Heart team in April 2019 that had been 2-18 the previous season.

Kirck has successfully built the program to the point where it is ranked No. 3 in the state. Sacred Heart is deep. It is talented. It is experienced. Kirck is not inexperienced. He knows the game. He knows the score.

What he sorely lacked Monday night was any hint of sportsmanship and compassion. He failed to demonstrate a control of a situation or himself. Coaching at a school of choice where quality athletes attend for a sports program as much as a quality education, that is doubly concerning.

You know what 92-4 is?

[IroNat]

That other school could have caught up.

[Mothballs]

The answer shouldn’t be telling the winning team to be worse. It’s telling the other teams to get better.

[The Scott]

Maybe his was a trannie team?

[ThisisOverload]

Why let up?

It's competitive sports.

F1 drivers don't slow down to prevent lapping people when they are 30 seconds in the lead.

Maybe they will practice harder or get a better coach.

[CalvinH]

Give the losing team a participation trophy and call it a day.

[Fortress]

If you’re dominating in an agreed-upon competition, dominate to your greatest capacity.

As another says, the losing side needs to work to improve or accept being frequently dominated.

[Hypertrophy]

I remember the first time I ever raced against professional cyclists in my bicycling career. I had finally gotten good enough to go against the "big boys" About 10 miles into a 62 mile (100K) race, there was a steep hill. Up to then I figured I would have no problem hanging with them.


Nope. One of the pros decided to light up the race on that hill. I have never, ever, gone as hard as that in a race and within 30 seconds they were gone. I never caught up- my race was over and I got into a follow vehicle because I was effectively done.


In that 30 seconds I finally understood what world class was. I had been play acting up till then. I resolved to train harder to see if I ever could get to their level. And a few years later I realized- nope- I'm not going to. It ain't in the cards- but at least I gave it my all.


You need to learn what you are made of. Often the best lessons in life are the worst lessons when they happen to you.

All any man can do is to do the best he can......which you did so you still won.

I learned the same thing in power lifting and strongman.

Even after chasing the dream for 11 years i just stopped.

No chance competing at an international level. Most of those guys had been training since they were very young and had better genetics.

My first international lifting event, the weakest guy in my class (besides me) buried a 650 pound squat for his opener; my max was 635. Guys opening bench press in the mid 400's. Opening deadlifts in the 700's. No chance. And this was in the 220 pound class, i had almost joined the 242 class, but managed to dehydrate myself enough to make 220.

Sometimes you just need to experience it to believe it, but seeing people hit openers higher than your max will change your perspective very quickly.

Yes- no better way to find out if you are any good is to go up against people who are better! In the span of a few moments you suddenly learn what good really is. People who have never competed have no idea how elite the elite guys are.

Yup,always give it your all....we can`t all be world class but it`s not always the destination that matters so much,it`s the journey we take striving to reach it.

You know my very first powerlifting meet I was looking at the list of lifters in my class and I said “Hey look there’s a guy in my class named Doug Young” then a guy told me I hate to tell you but that is Doug Young. I thought oh shit I guess I won’t be getting a trophy today.

Wow- great story!  When I first got into lifting Doug Young was one of the first guys I read about. What a monster.

I would had just been a spectator at that point.

When i competed at a local level there were two guys in my class that always smoked me. I ended up becoming friends with them and would ask if they were signing up for certain events, so i would avoid those.

I remember one of my early contests,looking at the guys in my class and thinking,"Oh well,back to the drawing board".

Oh great.  More bragging from TimeWantsOnlyCock and his 167 fucking trophies!   

[bhank]

I don't think you should ever tell your players not to try. However you can give your stars a rest and let your 3rd string bench warmers get some game playing time when you are up by 50

This.

They should have a mercy rule in the league too.  Call the game if the score gets really whacked.

That school that lost shouldn't even have been allowed to play.
