Coach Fired For Running Up Score

People keep bringing this up, but "learning disability" doesn't mean that they're slow. The schools webpage mentions ADD, dyslexia and dysgraphia. Whoever wrote the news article was just playing that angle becaus of their personal bias or to make it more interesting.

This. The coach pumped the brakes a bit but Dallas academy just sucks. God I wish my parents had been this coddling after I did bad at my sports. I remember being called names and being asked if I wanted to be there oldest daughter. (Competition runs rampant at the south house)

Q: What's worse: losing 100-99 or 100-0?

A: Neither. They're the same - a loss.

If both teams played to the best of their ability, a good game was had, whatever the score. Did the losers just quit, not answer the 4th quarter buzzer? No. They played on. Likewise the winners didn't quit, employing their more complicated plays and tougher goal shots.

There was no humiliation there. On either side. It sounds more like parents and school administrators have interfered, for political-correctness reasons (which sends the wrong teaching point to the students, IMO).

Maybe the fired coach can become the loser's school's assistant coach, and teach those kids the techniques needed to be more successful, point-scoring players. Once they know how it looks, feels, smells and sounds to win, they can do it more often (like my sorrowful Detroit Lions need). So far all they know how to do is lose. It's what they've been trained for. And they don't disappoint.

I agree: whoever built this league needs to get off the sauce and reconfigure it.

Sez me - mister average, second-string, non-star athlete in high school.

It's a TAAPS league (private schools) Private schools aern't big in Texas due to football and many of us being very poor. Thus the schools are few and far between and the schools that are the closest often get lumped in the same division. It's the only way they can play. Although I know San Antonio had a big school/small school divison. Dallas should have one to

Although by big I mean 300 kids.

Dallas should have one to

yeah.
