Coach Fired For Running Up Score

[seireikhaan]

A high school girl's Basketball coach was fired for running up the score one hundred to zero.

The coach of the girls basketball team at the Covenant School has been fired after recently winning a game by a score of 100-0.

Micah Grimes was dismissed by the school on Sunday, the same day he posted a public comment saying he would not apologize for the team’s lopsided win over Dallas Academy on January 13.

Personally, I'm glad the guy was fired. Absolutely no class whatsoever. I realize you want your team to compete, but there needs to be a sense of honor in sports, particularly on the high school level.

EDIT: Even more disgraceful is that the losing school is primarily concerned with aiding students with learning disabilities. Second Link

The game took place Jan. 13, on the road, against The Covenant School. Civello didn't expect his girls to win. He never really does. His girls haven't won a game in his four seasons at the White Rock Lake-area school, renowned for its work with students with a variety of learning problems. In most games, they haven't come close.
