Koko78 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 If you don't want to get blown out, get better. Maybe the losers should be given a participation trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I think it's a stupid rule, but he should have tried to abide by it regardless. Stupid or not, rules are rules. Accept the consequences. Work within the system to change them if that's how you feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) If a team wins a game by more than 42 points, the winning coach must explain to a special committee why such an outsize margin could not be avoided. Investigation Committee: Why could such an outsize margin not be avoided? Coach: We are real ***** good and they really ***** suck and the game is four quarters. Can I go now?

Doc Brown Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It's a dumb rule. I like when coaches run up the score at the high school level so I know which one's are a-holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Shouldn't they just redistribute the points so it ends in a tie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the more successful team keep all of their points. They need to give their fair share of points to the less fortunate team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don't like implementing a rule about it, but running up the scoreboard like that on high school kids is kind of a dick move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Once the results are apparent the coach should substitute 2nd and 3rd stringers in and of course eliminate gadget plays. The coach should never tell his players not to play hard. That's not only a good way to get his players injured but is actually a worse act of disrespect for the opponent.

Somehow keeping the beating to 41 or less in the spirit of fairness seems not at all arbitrary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do onside kicks or toss in a dozen cheap shots up 45-0 it’s bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
