[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think I see this here and there but not rampant "win at all costs" throughout NW.   That school is a nightmare sports-mentality-wise.  I have a friend who has kids there.  Horror show.  They apparently beat a team 44-0 in ES basketball this week  according to the DC sports website.........that takes a real effort to do.[/quote]

So what do you propose? They stop the game entirely, so as not to create a massive blowout? This is not the way sports work. I assume Janney’s non-starters were better than the other team’s starters as well. You can’t stop scoring if the clock is running just to make the other team feel good. Taunting is one thing, but the score is what it is. A team shouldn’t try to lose to make sure the score is close. [/quote]

Last year (CA) my daughter was in a school coed ymca team. 75% of the team was girls and all the players has never played basketball. We played teams that were 100% all boys. Some teams decimated us. I do however remember one coach who made his players pass the ball 5 times before they could take a shot.  This was after the score was 20-0. This allowed them to work on passing skills without being a blood bath 🤷🏻‍♀️ [/quote]
