  1. What everyone seems to be missing here is that junior high/high school sports are supposed to be for FUN, not for demolishing your opponents by as much as you possibly can. It doesn't matter if the score is 100-0 or 51-50, a win's a win. In college or professional sports, that's fine. But in games that involve minors, the point of sports is to encourage teamwork, build up fitness, bond with your teammates, learn valuable life lessons, and beyond all else have fun. These priorities change once you graduate from high school, so kids should have the opportunity to enjoy them while they can. It's also essential that everyone has a chance to participate, not just the star player and a few others who are decent. Yes, you can win that way --- but that's not the point. The point isn't to steal as many championships as you can at the expense of only using 2 or 3 of your players for a few minutes each game. And a game where your opponent is constantly scoring --- or you are able to dunk again and again with no substantive challenge being offered --- is not fun for anyone. This coach deserved what was coming to him. To think otherwise is to commit oneself to a one-dimesional mode of cognition.
