I can understand when a team has a demanding lead, and they are still pressing and such - they may use that as practice. That's what we did sometimes when I played - the coach couldn't care less about the score, but how we played. We didn't get cocky, we didn't get arrogant, and we didn't rub it in. And - we played normal. That's how we played with everyone; it was just a REALLY bad team. The score ment nothing to the coach. He didn't even glance at it.
What really hits a nerve with me is when the parents start harassing the coaches. Whether I like them or not, that is definatly "get out of here" material.
I probably would of called ultra-tight on Z, since what they were doing was nothing but stripping the dignity away of the other team. It puts an umbrella of shame over the sport.
