Use all 30 seconds of the clock each possession.
Maybe 20 possessions.
Shoot 50 percent from the field, no 3's =20 points.
So, you're telling me they had 65 at halftime.
This isn't rocket science, and you're better than that. Don't make excuses for a school obviously pi$$ed off over the shot clock and taking their pound of flesh from another team.

1. It's the first one I saw. I saw it in a scoreboard sent to me for other purposes. I did see a 112-50 score by St. Johns on the boys side. That's still not 70 points, but the premise is valid.
2. Watford City is being treated as the latest team to be wronged with the move to A, what, next year? Unless there has been a change in the numbers. Ridiculous to have any sympathy for any team that then does this.
Balla said they didn't press in the second half. Did they press the entire first half. Get a 20 point lead, play zone, run the clock, and treat your opponent with some class. If I played for Watford, I'd be embarrassed by what I was a part of.
Maybe we need a rule that, if you beat anyone on your schedule by more than 50, you're automatically classed up to the next class for the post-season as an independent bottom seed. You may hate the rule, but I bet these blowouts would end also.
Oh, here's a third reason in response to your question: Because no one here has had the juevos to call ANYONE out for doing it. Maybe some of you respected B-shot apologists should start calling teams out for it and clean up your game. I would start a thread here called "Thread of Shame" and include an update for every blowout, but the mods would kill it right away. If you look through my original posting, I didn't single out any team. Balla was the first to mention it. Another mod. Nice. Good work.

There's no benefit to running zone or learning to execute an 8-second offense? Where did you coach in college again? Ask any college coach about the benefits of these strategies, and I think you'll find they want their teams to have these tools.

I saw this in wrestling once. Kindred was on the brink of folding, set to wrestle Oakes. Kindred felt they couldn't take a drubbing or they'd lose kids. Oakes wrestled their JV against Kindred's varsity, with a gentlemen's agreement between coaches that, should the dual be close, Kindred forfeits at 275, so Oakes' record would remain intact.
Worked just fine, Kindred's team survived. The #1 complaint from parents: What if my little Johnny misses his chance to hold the takedown record or wins record in school history.

If the losing team is as bad as you say it is, the winner never gets better, no matter the score, so don't hide behind that lame piece of crap excuse.
