Yes it was college - not the pros- but it really doesn't mater - If you are on the floor your are there to compete if on that day you get beat by 50 or 10 that is the way it goes live with it - to be so poor a sport as to cry or threaten that you will hurt somebody if they run up the score on you- you deserve to get the score run up on you.

This all sounds wonderful, but I have read hear many times about how behavior is perceived as unsportsmanlike when the winning team does things to purposely humiliate the opponent. Whether it is pressing all game long in a big time blowout, to even the way they celebrate a great play. I hope that you are the first person to tell a younger official this when they come here and ask "Can I T up a coach for......." some type of behavior that mirrored the events proceeding the fight in this game. Since the NBA players are role models, do not complain when the very same feelings take place at the local JH game.
