Apologizing for victory?

[eejit101]

Hmmm - that takes it a little far...

This bit the coach says i agree with, as its what ive been saying...

"Grimes did not immediately respond to repeated email requests for an interview. But his email and Web site post concluded, “I believe in the lessons that sports teach us. Competition builds character, and teaches us to value selflessness, hard work, and perseverance. As a coach, I have instilled in my girls these values. So if I lose my job over these statements, I will walk away with my integrity.” "


as for this bit.....

"Grimes said his team stopped applying full-court defensive pressure after the score reached 25-0 three minutes into the game, dropped into a relatively benign zone defense and began resting his starters in favor of his three bench players.


Dallas Academy coach Andrew Lott agreed Covenant stopped pressing but returned with an alternate press later in the game. “I am 100 percent sure,” said Lott, who estimated his team was able to get off “seven shots” all game. "


Maybe i was right in the girls from the dallas acamady (no offence), were just awful?

Ok so the Dallas girls were not as good as the other team, but they still stuck it out, and I think that is awesome!!!

I don't know the full story, but I believe if you have an enormous lead like that, it is time to lay off a bit, bench the starters etc. Yeah I know teams play to win etc, but showing character, and compassion is more important than seeing how high you can score. People are given many opportunities to love one another, and just be kind, use 'em please!
