[quote=Anonymous]So it depends on what you are talking about.

If you are talking travel sports where "rankings" are involved it depends on how the rankings are determined as to how much score differential matters in said rankings. Some sports cap score/goal differential. Others don't and you see more lopsided scores in those games. Some times coaches are just jerks and don't care.

If you are talking about lower competition levels, I coach CYO basketball, and we are given warnings that could lead to a suspension if we continually win games by more than 25 points. Whenever I've blown a team out (and it has happened) and I've always written an email to commissioner explaining what steps I took to try to keep the score below that threshold.

Steps I usually take include having less skilled players play more, insert a X pass rule, no fast breaks, play a zone, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Stopping fast breaks is usually the hardest one to implement. It is also the most dejecting to a team because, at least in my view, it would suck as an opposing player to watch a kid with an uncontested lay-up, right under the basket, pull it out.[/quote]
