In NV, three or more people leaving the team bench during an altercation makes that team forfeit. If both teams have three or more come off, then the game is terminated and ruled a double forfeit per a state association regulation.

In short, this game would have ended right then and there in my state.

I don't see that in "the" rulebook!

In case y'all were wondering, this was not one of my games.

I am curious to hear if there will be any communication from our chapter about this game.

the coach is a jackass

"Yates High School, near Houston..."

This is the same school which just participated in the NFHS sponsored tournament in Mobile, Alabama.

How embarrassing for the NFHS to have them display a total lack of sportsmanship against a much weaker opponent.

*The school easily won both of its games in the tournament.

I believe that one of the officials tucked the basketball under his shirt before explaining the situation to the coaches.

All the radio stations in Houston were all over this today. As far as I'm concerned, not much we can do from an officiating standpoint. Like others have pointed us, Yates was forced to put in their starters after the "scuffle" happened.

I'd be interested to see what the officials who worked the game thought about the game.

I noticed that too! Yikes! Guess he was doing his part to keep the score down.

I am in the camp with believing this score is rediculous and this is totally unsportsmanlike behavior.

We've all refereed blowouts, but this is stupid. And yes, we have no control over it......

I too believe there is no need to press, no need to fast break, etc. There are things that a team can work on in these situations that won't necessarily run up the score this much.

I acknowledge the coach played his subs and I realize you've got to get your starters playing time, but what do these kids learn about life? When you're a big bully you kick people when they're down? Sad.

I see both sides of the story from my foxhole. However, I do believe playing the game is like calling the game. You cannot take a play off. Things could have been done differently. However, the losing team could have taking care of the ball better too. No win situation across the board.
