If you're on a team losing games by 150 points, you haven't learned anything about basketball either."People shouldn't feel sorry for my team," Chung said. "They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way."
Is that possible? I thought that once you hit a certain point differential that a technical fall would be awarded.like_that;1697258 wrote:It seems the only sport now a days where nobody bitches about "running up" the score is wrestling. Got your ass kicked? Enjoy that humble pie little guy.
If you let up in wrestling you get your ass kicked....no other sport does it "hurt" to let uplike_that;1697258 wrote:It seems the only sport now a days where nobody bitches about "running up" the score is wrestling. Got your ass kicked? Enjoy that humble pie little guy.
They don't have a tech-fall in basketball.like_that;1697258 wrote:It seems the only sport now a days where nobody bitches about "running up" the score is wrestling.

True, but in wrestling, if you want, you can take down your opponent, let him up, take him down, let him up, take him down, let him up and go for a, say, 28-12 win where you just exhibit complete dominance without ever really trying to go for a pin (or pin him after getting 12 or so takedowns). Which is essentially "running up the score", as you're basically using a lesser opponent as a practice dummy.salto;1697274 wrote:They don't have a tech-fall in basketball.
Hope this helps.
Not to mention the tech fall was mainly put in place to speed up duals and tournaments (as well to award team points for dominating wins) more so than worrying about a kid getting his feelz hurt. And yes what you just described is very humiliating for any wrestler, but no one cries about it.Heretic;1697297 wrote:True, but in wrestling, if you want, you can take down your opponent, let him up, take him down, let him up, take him down, let him up and go for a, say, 28-12 win where you just exhibit complete dominance without ever really trying to go for a pin (or pin him after getting 12 or so takedowns).

You'd think that with your support of Graham and with how badly their best kids tend to outclass opponents up to and including the state level, that you'd know this, but....yeah.

I would agree that going into this game, everyone knew that it was going to end up that way. The coach knew he was going to win by a lot and ran his starters and full court pressed up by 90 points. The guy is a total asshat for that and will lose respect and credibility of his players by doing this.OSH;1697296 wrote:If this is happening, then the coach/school is scheduling the wrong team.
If this is a mandatory game (tournament, league, etc.), then as a coach, I'm doing some things differently -- play other players, try something new, etc. Maybe the coach did that and still ended up the same? Have to figure out a way to get the best out of a game like this (for both teams).
Good god this. Unless the other team is full of arm less girls, to only score 2 pts is fucking pathetic. I'd be embarrassed to coach a team that gave that little of fucks.like_that;1697258 wrote:It seems the only sport now a days where nobody bitches about "running up" the score is wrestling.
