Runner up?Either way up 15 less than 60 seconds = star players on the bench.

[WoolyGoat]

I think the kid from Florida State was actually the runner up, but it was all close.

I hate people who whine about players being in game during a blowout almost as much as I hate coaches who whine about other teams running the score up. Basketball players play basketball, so he was in the game, get over it. If you don't like it, play some defense and stop him. Cheap shots are chicken shit.

[BIRD33]

It wasnt a cheap shot.

If a baseball team is up a ton of runs do they continue to try to take walks or stretch out doubles?If they do doesnt the other team get pissed?

If a football team is up a lot is it cool for them to be throwing the ball in the 4th qtr?

Its called having class when you are winning.You never know when you'll be on the other side of the ass kicking.Belicheck has warped your brain.

[WoolyGoat]

These aren't little kids. If you want the other team to stop scoring, try stopping them yourself! Is it classy to steal bases in the 9th inning of a 10 run game? Probably not, but as far as I'm concerned opposing coaches are in no position to whine about it. If you don't like it, play better.

You must be the type of guy who doesn't want to keep score in little league games because it puts an unnecessary emphasis on winning.

So you understand my baseball analogy but not how it pertains to basketball?How bout you replace stealing bases while up 10 runs with playing your best players when you have a bench full of kids with no minutes while up 15 with a minute to go?Its simply a question of if the coach of the team thats up a ton has any class at all, game was over, no reason to have your starters in when you have a full bench.

I'm all about pounding teams into submission and have no problem with teams getting blown out if at some point the team puts in its bench to finish the job and if the bench runs it up then so be it.Call me crazy but is sportsmenship still apart of sports?Fucking Bill Belichek Jr.

If you were able to follow my analogy you'd understand that I was agreeing that certain events in sports are not classy. However, I think by being an inferior team on that given day, coaches forfeit the right to complain about who was or wasn't in the game.

If you're just calling Roy a scumbag, then I couldn't care less. But if you're using Hansbrough's being in the game during a blowout as an excuse for the Dukies, then you're just being a crybaby.

I don't think it was a cheap shot, look at the tape.Do I think you better watch your ass when your running up a team with your starters in at the end of the game, you bet.

the guy that needs to defend an egirl thinks I'm a crybaby.Wow.

Why would a team have to worry about its starters being hurt against a team led by Coach K? I'm sure Roy was pretty confident that K wouldn't have his players do anything intentional...

Do coaches take players out when the games in hand to prevent freak injuries in every sport?The fact that Hainsboro was still in the game tells you they were running it up.

Being worried about freak injuries is not the same as...

You can't have it both ways, so try making up your mind.

How am I trying to have it both ways?They are two different issues.Don't make me browbeat you into staying on topic like some dick just did to me.


Its a cause and effect relationship but they are two seperate issues.One is you take your players out if the game is in hand to show some class and let your bench get some time while avoiding freak injurys to the starters.The second issue is if you choose to run up the score with your starters you better be prepared for pissed off players and coaches and the repercussions of that.Now understand this last point is in no way a defense for Henderson because as Ive stated I don't think what he did was intentional, look at the video.Now if he did do it intentionaly I could understand why.

I hear you loud and clear on freak injuries and showing class. My question is simple. Why would a coach have to worry about the "second issue" in a game against the Duke Blue Devils?

[Anhil8tor]

boston vs yanks will be epic this year...

schilling will pitch for the yanks next year

They wouldnt of course.Freak injurys were not the only reason (up 15) their star player shouldnt have been in.
