I would never ask that question. I'm not artificially going after any records. The closest I've gotten is this situation from last year. Friday night home game, senior 11 points shy of 1,000, several games left in the season. Tuesday game is away. We are big favorites and up 56-31 going into the fourth quarter. I should have her sitting out the last few minutes of this game, at the minimum, but she's been having a terrible game and is still 7 points shy of the mark. I leave her in what feels like too long, and she eventually fouls out 4 points shy with about 1:30 left. I don't know if I did the right thing or not, but I know how I would've felt if she'd have gotten injured in that situation.
