First of all, in a blow out, I try to call the same game I normally do.
As far as the coach, how is a school supposed to fire a coach for winning by too much? Yeah, I don't agree with him pressing all the time, but it is his job to coach his kids. If he wants them to be able to press, then they need to run a press in game situations.
I know this isn't the popular train of thought around here, but if teams don't want to get beat by 100, work harder, get better and compete. Don't whine about not being able to stop the other team. It sounds to me like everyone on the bench plays, perhaps they are all just very good. In life and sports, you have to learn how to win and learn how to lose. Sometimes you win big, but on the other hand, any time you step out on the floor, you run the risk of losing big.
The article talks about a kid fouling to stop the clock to get to the 100 point win barrier. Do we know this is the coach's idea, or perhaps the kid did this on his own? Maybe the kid was disciplined in practice the next day?
