EastGuruWannabe wrote:"running up the score" is outdated with the shot clock. yes, pre shot clock there was no reason for teams to drop 100 on another team, but now you have to shoot the ball every 30 seconds. you still have to play the game and try to get shots up, and if you are way better than another team, the 102-35 or whatever it was is going to be the result. teams with big leads cant say well, lets pass it 10 times before we shoot it or something like that, they need to try and score or its a violation.

I got to the game with about 10 minutes left and the JV was in the entire time and was playing half court defense.

Yes, it most certainly IS the job of the coach to slow the team down when a win is assured. It's called sportsmanship. We must teach sportsmanship at the high school level. Let the pros run it up. Not high-schoolers.

Whenever there's an artcle in the Tribune on the Mandan girls you can be guaranteed that there'll be a lot of bashing in the comments to follow. It happens every time. I call it the Yankee syndrome. If you're not a fan you hate them, why? because they win... and this really irks some of the Bismarck folks.
And some people just seem complain to complain or else they really don't know what's goin on.

might as well just take the ball out of bounds and throw it straight to the other team and give thema few layups to get back in the game. if they leave the starters in i call that running up the score, but if the end of the bench is in and still scoring im fine with that. you cant tell the kids to not run the offense..you gotta remember that these kids are playing for time too and not just to finish the game so the starters dont get hurt. if they get a steal, run. if they get 2 passes and a layup, good job. the team has to still play...

I agree with you baseball. Leaving the starters in is running it up. Continuing to press is running it up. Having the second string play hard is NOT running it up. I completely agree with you. :D

12 at the half is running it up????? 12 points can be erased in 90 seconds...i dont know if any of you watched the Oregon-Oakland game saturday night but Oregon was down 39-26 with 19:46 left in the game and with 14:45 left they were up 46-39, 20-0 run in less then 5 minutes....

I agree. Last week I watched the FSH vs Wahpeton game. FSH won by 88 to 48 but they could have easily scored well over 100. The FSH coach took their press off early. He was deep into his bench before the end of the first half, and had three freshmen girls playing the last six minutes of the game. Also, as a game note Braun got most of her points when FSH had their second stringers so the Wahpeton coach was not throwing the towel in either. The Huskies worked very hard and did give up during the game.

It didn't matter what the score was. The starters practice all week and they deserve to play. After the starters were out, I would have my second team play the same as the starters. If my team was a pressing in your face defensive team, my second team is going to press and by in your face. It's varsity sports people. Coaches should get their kids ready to play.
