I really don't think that all coaches think that way.At least,I hope that they don't.I really want to believe that some coaches still believe in sportsmanship!

This word sportsmanship gets thrown around all the time whenever somebody's PC-ness gets wrinkled by someone else's action. Here's the definition:
conduct (as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport
I don't think that action could be construed as unsportsmanlike. I consider myself and my team to be very sportsmanlike. Friendly with the opponents before and after, doing whatever we can to get an edge WITHIN THE RULES (fairness), and doing my best to be gracious after a win or a loss. After all, it's just a game.
