Johnny d is making a great point. The unsporting aspect of playing this game would be playing your starters regular minutes or pressing even with your backups. That didn't happen. The point is it shouldn't be unsporting to play the game of basketball (offense and defense) no matter the time or score. Holding or passing around the ball until the game is over is not basketball. Don't want to lose by 159? Don't schedule the game in the first place or don't play the game.

Perception is reality.

Perception of this coach, by many, and perhaps by many that matter, will not be positive.

Likewise, the perception of people who *defend* that coach will likely be similar amongst the same people.
