Dr. Justice Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Wow, that is impressive! NOT! What kind of coach would do this? Yeah I know that goal is to win but this is ridickulous. Is is any wonder Stratford can't get players. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS, it is a show of disrespect to the Stratford girls. I bet they called the press off with about 5 minutes left when it was 76-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they called the press off with about 5 minutes left when it was 76-5. Look at the box score and see how many players scored for Antioch. looks like one of the cheerleaders had 7 points. It is not fair to the girls on the bench for a coach to tell them not to score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsEd Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I just looked at the box score, and two things are clear from it: Antioch didn't knock down a whole lot of 3's, and the point totals dropped dramatically in the second half. That means they "pulled off the dogs." In a lot of games, a struggling team (and I've seen plenty) can't help but turn the ball over, and you can't stop your players from catching an errant pass, etc., and driving in for uncontested shots. Didn't see the game in question, of course, but I'll bet that's where much of Antioch's huge total came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an impressive win but I wouldn't blame the coach. At least not Antioch's coach. You can't tell your kids to stop playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nununu Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Don't blame Coombs, I wasn't at the game either, but I'm sure there was a running clock, and everyone seemed to have played. It's a shame Stratford is in such a sorry state. Two points in the 1st half, c'mon. I could have scored that many by myself, playing by myself.

goo goo cluster Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The Antioch coach should be ashamed, absolutely no reason for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachF Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I did not see the game. I do not believe in running up the score. I also believe it would be unfair for the players on the end of the Antioch bench to practice every day and then hold the ball when they do get in the game. Those kids have earned the right to go out and play hard and show what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want to do, put in the cheerleaders? I think they could have scored more than 2 points. Don't blame Antioch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame Antioch. Obviously Mt. Juliet has lots of firepower so its easy to say "blame Stratford, because they're weak". How would you like it if you had a daughter on that team and got beat by 80 points. Bet you wouldn't like it one bit. Not a classy move by Antioch at all.
