113 points, am i the only one who sees a problem with this?
yes. 113 points is impressive, but what kind of a coach leaves that player in a game like this.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?cnn=yes when wilt went for 100, and kobe made 81, their teams needed those points...i think this is a disgrace to the coach and school she plays for. i dont blame girl. |

I'm a Rutger's fan and a fan of girl's basketball in NJ, but I agree this is disgraceful. I don't think Kobe's team needed his last 10 points or so, but this is a much more egregious offense. I agree with you that I don't blame the player.

There is no shot clock in HS girls basketball. The other teams coach should have just let the air out of the ball if he was embarassed by it.

I'll grant you that the Laker's needed Kobe's points, but Wilt's 100 was dubious. The other team started stalling in the 2nd half and Wilt's team started fouling them so they could get the ball back just so he could score. His goal of 100 became the focus of the game instead of trying to win it. |

You can't compare this to what Kobe and Wilt did - Kobe and Wilt did it playing professional basketball. They play against other paid professionals who are among the best basketball players in the world. If there's a blowout or whatever everyone's a big boy (and well paid) so I'm sure they can handle it and if not then maybe they should find another profession.
This is high school sports - sports in which the vast majority of players on a team will never be good enough to play outside of high school. This was an embarassment to the coach, the school and the player. If she needed to score 113 for her team to win that's one thing but for the coach to allow her to stay in the game and win by 105 points or whatever..that's horrible. I coach high school boys basketball and I feel guilty if my team gets up by 25 or 30 in a game and I absolutely use those opportunities to get in the kids who don't get to play that often. Obviously it was a pretty bad team they were playing and it would have been a perfect opportunity for that coach and player to make some of the other players on the team feel good about themselves by giving them an opportunity to play and score. I would rather see the last guy on my bench score two points than my best player score 100 any day of the week. |

Lisa Leslie only had 101 in that game. She's not the kind of person who would have embarrassed the other team by putting up 106, that would have been over the top.

I wasn't in the game, so I had no chance to stop her. I still think I have a right to form an opinion that what that coach did was poor sportsmanship at best, disgraceful at worst. That article did not contain quotes with anyone from the other team complaining. Or were your comments to "stop her from scoring and quit complaining like a bunch of fucking pussies" directed at people complaining in this thread - who were also commenting as observers of human behavior.

She shredded her ACL when she was one point away from the UConn career scoring record, so the next game the UConn coach arranged it with the other coach so that UConn would win the opening tip and then pass it to Sales, who was standing alone under the basket, so that she could make an easy layup and break the record...

There's no excuse for running up the score like that in high school sports. A few hard fouls would not have been unjustified. Preferably on the coach.

I was thinking the same thing, but it is hard to advocate an act of bad sportmanship to protest bad sportsmanship. Personally, I would have liked to see all of the players on the losing team either sit down on our court to show their disgust at the play, or just quintuple-team their player. I'd like to see her get a pass with 5 players running around her. |

While I do believe records were made to be broken, I'd have to agree that it was kind of classless to run-it-up against a clearly outmanned team.

I never understood this kind of thing - do high school kids (or even younger kids) really fell embarassed and sad when they lose by 50 instead of 20 because the other team kept trying? I never felt like that. If you're running a race, and you're losing badly, does it make you feel better if the leader slows down so you don't lose by as much? Wouldn't that be even more embarassing?

Yes they do. That is why you see things like hard fouls and cheap-shots/fights toward the end of blow-out games. People can accept being beat, but nobody likes to be shown up or mocked while they are being beat. Once the outcome is decided, the winning team should stop pressing, stop running the break and shift to a half-court offense. Even better would be to pull all of the starters and give the bench players some playing time. |

When I'm getting spanked in a game and my opponent attempts to run the score up, regardless of game or sport, I go into protect mode.
I'll skate with puck back and forth and in circles. I'll run the football and the clock over and over. I'll waste as much time as I can and foul every one of my players out in basketball. My goal is no longer to win. It's to keep you from winning by as much as you want.

Some day, her parents will have another Epiphany and realize that it may not have been such a great idea not to consult a dictionary before naming their child.
On the score thing, as a player I always felt it stunk to have a clearly superior team run up the score. I remember a team trying to put 100 on us in college intramurals - which is pretty damned difficult with a 30-minute running clock. They happened to be the JV basketball team for our college (I transfered to Michigan from a Division III school) - what they were doing playing intramurals was mystifying. One of my teammates got pissed off when we were down, 98 to about 20, and decided to contest this guy's dunk - not that he could have even touched the rim himself. Long story short, this 6-foot-8 JVer had his college career ended on the play. It was a pretty ugly scene. They did get their 100 right in the end, though, so I guess they won. It didn't feel good seeing him around campus the rest of the year in a soft cast, but at the time it happened I remember thinking, briefly, that he deserved it. Any coach who uses a mismatch like that to pad the stat sheet should be removed immediately. |

No. You can accept defeat. And you can accept someone being better than you. That's what happens sometimes, you get your ass kicked. But when a team is intentionally trying to run up the score, trying to pad a players stats, trying to set records. . . it's a ridiculously pathetic form of sportsmanship. As an athlete, you get it. You aren't as good as they are. You can't stop em and they are better. And you also know when the score gets to 30+, you aren't coming back. And at that point, the other team should have the brains to call off the dogs. What the coach did was disgraceful. |

In my final intramural game ever of my intramural career (7 years, I made it last ), we were obviously the better squad. At half, it was 48-30. Some of the newer guys on my team wanted to run the score up to 100, and kept playing hard. I stopped playing offense, and simply played defense. It really pissed off the other team, and I was quite disappointed that the guys on my team would do such a thing. But since I had been around the college a while, most of my good friends had left, and we had to pick up some new guys to field a team. A shot at the buzzer gave us a 101-52 win. I still wish we would have missed that shot.
