Well said Goose.
Before my daughter gave up the traditional sports for competitive cheerleading her JH basketball team won their last game by 58 (6 minute quarters).
At the end of the first quarter it was 20-0 and they never pressed. Coach put in the subs...score at the half was something like 35-2. Coach asked for a running clock in the second half and told the players if the did not pass the ball 5 times on each possession it would be reflected in their grade. Start of the 4th quarter, since nobody had come close to making a 3-pointer all year (I think one girl actually hit the rim once), she forced them to practice 3's after the 5th pass. Final score was 62-4.
One of the parents was keeping stats for the coach. When we looked at them after the game we noticed that my daughter's team missed a total of 2 shots all game.
Now they weren't showboating...but sounds like some of you would have considered the attempted 3's as unsporting when it was actually an attempt to hold the score down.
