Yup, I'm happy. I agree with your second sentence completely. No reason to form a lynch mob, tho. That's all I was getting at.

Chuck, please no histrionics. I wasn't forming a lynch mob. I was suggesting banning those types of coaches from your tournament. The other coach shouldn't have to "ask" him to stop the press. That's what I was getting at.
When I was living upstate NY I had the pleasure of assisting the Schenectady High Coach (DiNallo) with an AAU team that made it to the nationals. We had a 7 Foot 15 year old (Craig Forth now at Syracuse), James Thomas (now at Texas) and Lionel Chalmers (Xavier of Ohio), among others. There were times we could have blown teams out by 100 points, but we didn't. We emptied our bench and let the other team keep their pride. We didn't continue to press when a team was down by that many points.
