Stupid Coach Tricks - A True Story!

Talk about you're bonehead coaches, the coach we had tonight takes the cake.

JV game.

Score is A 16, B 12 with the clock winding down in the 2nd qtr.

A1 takes a knee on 2nd down.

B1, on behalf of his coach, requests and is granted their 3rd TO of the half, with 8.9 seconds remaining.

Now, think about it. It's 3rd down, 8.9 seconds remaining, and B has just used their final TO after A1 has just taken a knee to hopefully run out the clock. B can't possibly stop the clock again or get the ball back, yet he uses his last TO to stop the clock. Well, Coach A is not happy.

Can anybody guess what happens next?

Yep, you got it.

Coach A calls a flea flicker, A1 hands off to A2 and A2 hits A3, who is all alone, for a 60 yard TD pass!

How stupid can one man be?

Sad day.

This is the type of coach(?) who will complain to one and all, "The refs took the game away from us".

What coach wouldn't have done that?! I mean, if you where coach A, wouldn't you have done the same thing? I know that I would have! It's like giving him a taste of his own medicine.

It was a dimb move by A because throwing the ball and getting it intercepted and returned for a touchdown was his only chance at being behind at the half.
Take the knee one more time and go in with the lead.

To the contrary, there was no one within 30 yards of A3 win he caught the TD pass.

Even the team B players were talking about the "stupid time out" their coach called.

And what amount of trickery could the coach of Team B have done? In the end, he insults his players and places them further behind!

And, are we to assume team A won?

And the best part......Coach of Team A will remember this tom foolery next time they play!

Yes, quite handily.
