Perhaps the winning coach had his players continue to score to avoid the possibility of OT!
Good for him.

Not saying this is the case.
If the coach played his bench kids (when it was clear to see the game was out of reach - which was probably well before half time), if they stopped pressing, and theycan still win by 100 or 150 or whatever. I don't think the coach of the winning team can be faulted. I don't see a team playing keep away (with or without a shot clock) or not letting your bench kids run the floor to score, take layups or defend properly fair or equitable either. THey are bad so, so you have to be bad isn't right. You can work on your quarter court zone or whatever. If you bench kids get a chance to play and score its on the other coach to have 5 kids better then your worst 5. At the point where everyone possible is in the game, you've backed your defense up to quarter court and given them the opportunity to execute 5 on 5: thats it they've met their obligation to sportsmanship. Holding the ball or letting the other team shoot should be more embarassing to kids on the floor then being beaten or scored on. . . . I would think. In the case in the OP it sounds like the game was well on its way to out of hand well before half time so the starters IMO should have been out way before then. No mention of whether pressing happened to what extent but to get that many possessions even against a bad team you can assume they pressed most of the game. So I'm not defending the coach just talking about the situation as a generality.

Link above brings a little more clarity and probably a lot less sympathy for the winning coach. Highlights: - was up 104-1 at half time before the starters were pulled. - Pressed and trapped full court or half court all game. - Running clock after the first quarter. - Bench players held the ball on offense for 23 of 30 second shot clock before shootingin the 2nd half. - Of 15 exhibition games scheduled record is 14-1 with wins that include 98, 80 and 3 in the 70' as well.
