If you were doing this game. Would you tell the opposing coach not to press? They could do what they want in the first quarter but after?
Could you possibly call Technical if the team kept it up in the second half?
I know the losing coach is complaining as he should, but another side of me is going, "Come on. Do you and your players know anything about basketball?"
I'd consider just walking off the court and calling the game. I'd want no part of it. I know California rules say to run the clock in the 4th with the (40 point lead I believe) but I'd just have it running after the first quarter if it was clear what was going on.
