This is just plain ignorant. I am on the staff of a AA team who played a A team with an enrollment of less than 40 students earlier this year. It was clear from the time the two teams left the locker room which team was more talented. The A team had only five girls dressed out for the contest. Not one of them even sported basketball shoes. The score could have EASILY been 125-0. No doubt about it. The starters started the game, pressed the first 8 possessions, and then exited the game. The rest of the game, a zone defense was played and players were told not to run in transition, instead work on the execution of half-court offenses, looking to score off of each option available in the offense, not scoring on the same option on back to back possessions. Starters played the first minute of each quarter and then the bench was cleared. The score was kept as respectable as possible at 45-9. This is a case where, like I said, the score could have easily been 125-0, but the coach kept it respectable. The student-athletes on the winning team learned to play with character and respect the game and their opponents. The coach on the losing team, and his players, thanked both the players and coaches time and time again after the game for keeping it respectable.
So, yes. It CAN be done. And it IS in the hands of the coach. If a coach doesn't have enough control over a team to tell them not to shoot in transition, not to press, not to steal passes in the passing lanes, then he or she has a serious problem in their program. High school basketball is not all about wins and losses, or getting to the century mark. It's about teaching young ladies and men life-long lessons and instilling in them good values, character, and respect for each other, opponents, and the game of basketball itself.
