How much time is left in the game?
I do agree that it is implied/applied sarcasm btw. But I don't have much a problem with it. The rule book talks about sportsmanship, not sarcasm. If you can't tell, I have more of a problem with coaches who run up the score and take advantage of teams that are less talented. Real Life Ex: We have a team that has the anti UConn streak - They have lost 83 in a row. Last year a team played them and they were told to keep them under 10 and score over 100 for the game or else they would run. Really? When we play them we use it as a scrimmage and try different players at different positions. We still win by 40 odd points, but we don't press and play our starters about 1 and 1/2 quarters.
I totally would understand if this coach did the same thing as the coach in the OP. It would make the paper and the pressing coach would be excoriated in the local media.
