it is the PARENTS responsibility to teach LIFE lessons -- coaches that do and that teach morality and good sportsmanship are a bonus not a necessity that we should worry about. In most cases you are correct. It's the extreme cases that we need jurisdiction. Running up the score on kids is just pain wrong. If you are the superior team, act like it. I can't help Deecee but think this problem is more the coaches then it is the players. It is the coaches that directs their teams to keep attacking. Are you a selfish coach? Because you got your butt kicked, you now want to drive it down the throats of other undeserving young boys and girls. A new school trying to start up a basketball program in their area and you want to come in and shove it down there throats because they are not prepared. I just don't understand this thinking.

we enforce the rules as they pertain to each team having a fair playing field (agreed) -- it is not the GOOD teams fault that they are good -- its the natural imbalance of abilities (this is where I have my problem. Children develop at different stages. Because your child has developed quicker, stronger, faster, you want your child to hold all the records. This is piss poor parenting and coaching, and you're sending the wrong message to your kids.)

why not T up the coach for not preparing their team. That's ridiculous.

I am as open minded as they come and you have managed to make me agree with JR, Nevada, Dan and many others that I try very hard to disagree with - A cookie isnt enough for you you need a brownie.

This statement doesn't surprise me after learning your position on this topic. Drive it down there throats, don't let up until the game is over. Funny how America tends to not like teams like this.
