Agree...
If I were that coach, I'd have my players keep playing but with restrictions on how they can play that will actually benefit them...such as:
- only dribble with weaker hand
- Long range shooters can only shoot layups
- Inside players can only shoot outside of 15'
- Layups can only be with the weaker han
- Everyone must touch the ball before a shot is allowed
- Don't allow them to dribble...passes only
As a soccer coach, I've done similar things when I've gained a substantial lead. I put players in their weakest positions...forwards played defense, defenders played forward. It made them work at something different. It gave up a couple of points because the forwards were not very good defenders.
If I were friendly with the coach, I might even make the suggestion that he try one or more of these things rather than just giving it to the other team.
