Pretty sure shabi's gonna get fired for this...

I just can't see how two teams could be SO lopsided that no points could be scored. It's not like we're talking the Lakers vs. some 7-year olds. Both of these teams play at the same level correct? How is it that one team could be so dominating?

I see the winning coach got fired. Bet the losing coach doesn't fare much better come the end of the season...

I have seen it come close in our county. There was a game between a school of 300 that only ran a senior team and a school of 1600 that also played host to a travel provincial team.

You get a bunch of kids who have only played a little on the playground in an undeveloped program against a team full of kids who have been playing organized ball for 6 years.

Usually schools of such different sizes only meet in tournaments, but if conferences get small, the range of ability gets greatly magnified.

Thanks! I've never really been into sports so it truly was a sincere question - I honestly couldn't see two teams in the same league/division/whatever being so lopsided on the court.

For the most part down here, there are 2 types of Basketball schools. Those with OBA affiliations and the teams they beat.

I would agree 100% if this were a pro game and maybe if this was a college game, but for a high school game...meh

I don't see any reason to leave starting players in (on any level) or using a press after halftime or similar play styles. These girls are 14-17. There's no reason to continue pounding them in to submission if it's 60-0 at halftime or whatever the hell it was.

You don't "let" them score. But, you don't play your starting defense and try to steal the inbound. Play some sort of standard zone and work on your half court offense by passing the ball 5 times and shooting after the shot clock runs down 20 seconds.

I think Herm said it best:

isn't the winning coach named Larry Lester?
