My sophomore year in high school we were playing a team that was typically in the running for the state championship in our class. We were, well, let's just say we weren't ever in the running for a championship. On their home floor, their senior night. Our coach thought they had a history of running up the score, and he asked us prior to the game if we'd be okay with walking off the court if they did it again. What were we going to say?
Fast foward, beginning of 4th quarter, and we're losing by about 70 or so (something like 95-25), just getting our a$$es kicked. Quarter starts, and their starters are still in the game. Coach calls timeout, and we walk off.
Coach got suspended by the state for 2 games, and when we played that school at home later, their fans came fully armed (verbally speaking).
