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.

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.

I agree.
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.
