cooltigger21 0 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Intentionally tanking games is terrible and you hate to find anything funny about the story but it's almost comical the way they went about it. I mean they were so blatant in how they did this that it was impossible to miss. http://usatodayhss.c...om-postseason-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Saw this last night ... Pathetic and morbidly funny at the same time. Coaches losing site of what is important. You'd like to think some of the players would have revolted but they are gonna typically do as coach says. Feel bad for the kids and how they are lead. Can only hope this was a "one off" by the coaches and they regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have a different opinion on this. There was much to be gained by losing this game for both teams. That in itself is backwards. The only times I ever remember a team that could benefit from a loss, was when only one team had that riding on it. The other team either needed to win or it didn't matter so it's easy to lose convincingly if the opponent is trying to win. I can't blame a coach for putting his team in a better chance to win and advance. It sucks for them that they win and are awarded with a game that is a sure loss.

cptau 169 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 They are a little nuts about girls basketball in Tenn and have been for many years before title 9. . Even before they changed the rules trying to make it watchable. They use to have 3 offense and 3 defense players on each team who had to stay on opposite ends of the court and they used the same basketball as the mens teams.
