As an official, I don't care and there is nothing to be done about it.
As a father, this type of thing p!sses me off. My sons play(ed) for a small private school who regularly gets beaten by the bigger schools in our league. Twice I have had to sit through classless examples of coaching like this one in Arizona. In one case, the Home team was up by 29 points at the start of the 4th quarter, and the coach put his starters in and kept the press on. They ended up winning by 42. The most vocal fans were from the Home school - yelling at their coach to knock it off.
Why this coach in Arizona thought it would be "cool" to keep that kid in and let him take 37 shots against what is essentially a JV team is beyond me as a parent and a fan.
