I wholeheartly agree with you, Coach. What could be happening in some situations is a lot of coaches feel like they have to "play up" to make there team better. That only works if you have talent that can withstand that challenge. And having coached (and officiated) boys as well as girls, I have seen that boys can handle adversity better. As a whole they seem to fight through being down big. Girls team can do it too. But not as much. I hope I don't get girls coaches mad (especially you, HC) but that's the way I see it.
