1. the taunting should have resulted as a technical foul, if it was, in the official's oppinion, taunting.

2. By what you posted, it appears as if you expected the opposing coach to only play 2 players, not double/triple team, and not make you chase for the ball, if the score is tied, I would try to win. Sports are fun, but the object is to win and have a good time doing it. Taking winning to an unhealthy level and stooping to things such as taunting is not good, but wanting to win isn't a bad thing. What exactly did you expect the coach to do? I don't think that doing the things mentioned above (minus the taunting) warrents as "throwing away their integrity"

3. As rainmaker said, you should be proud of your team, from what you have said, they were not of equal caliber to the other team, but they stayed in the game and almost won it. To me, this shows a lot of effort! Be proud of them!
