Coach Running Up the Score

[LarryS]

My take...It is not the responsibility of the coach of the winning team to keep his margin of victory at a level acceptable to all those at the game, be they officials, spectators, workers, or members of the other team. It is, however, the responsibility of the coaches and/or players on the losing team. The winning team may have been working on different types of pressess...or they may have non-starters honing their press skills.

To be pressing that late in the game, when up by that large of margin, may leave a bad taste in the mouths of some. But is it unsportsmanlike to the point of meriting a T...nope.
