Bleacher Report  A girls high school basketball game in San Bernadino, California, that finished with a 159-point margin of victory (161-2) for Arroyo Valley High School over Bloomington High School Jan. 5 led to a two-game suspension for its coach, Michael Anderson.



Punishing the successful. Why suspend the coach for doing his job of preparing his team. Why not suspend the other coach for leaving his kids on the court rather than forfeiting the remainder of the game, if he was so concerned about his kids feelings, why did he leave them out there to get their asses kicked. The coach played his bench for the second half and told them to burn clock.

I've been part teams on both ends of this, being way better at times, and way worse than others. I always found it more insulting for a team to go out of its way to try and NOT score or LET the opponent score. When my team gets way up in softball, we quit trying to stretch singles into doubles but we don't quit trying to hit the ball.

I ask, why were these two teams scheduled and allowed to even play each other. Sounds like it was known before the game started that it was going to be a blowout, and this coach would have been cheating his kids, to not take the opportunity to make them better.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I agree. What is he supposed to do? You have to keep playing, unless the losing team's coach throws in the towel and says to quit.
To fine the winning coach is stupid.
But that's todays "politically correct" world .
We CANT let the losing team's feelings get hurt.
To me, they should have a rule like in baseball, where if you are down by a certain amount, you can call the game.

Having been the manager of some very good Little League and Legion baseball teams, there are times when your team just catches fire and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
We had the 10 run rule after 5 innings but sometimes no matter what you did to slow it down, if you were blowing the other team out prior to 5, the kids just fed the fire.

161-2? That's pretty damn bad, lol. The officials should have called it at some point for a bunch of 15-17 years old.

Zero2Cool (2m) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (2m) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (3m) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (6m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (7m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (7m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (8m) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (9m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (12m) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (16m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (17m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (18m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (27m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (33m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

beast (57m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
packerfanoutwest (1h) : they still are in the playoffs
packerfanoutwest (1h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7
Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.
Mucky Tundra (4h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints
Mucky Tundra (4h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games
Mucky Tundra (4h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.
buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan
beast (14h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings
bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak
beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other
beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)
Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.
beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs
packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.
beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!
wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.
beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!
beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed
