Here's another relevant article, based on what happened in last night's basketball game against Nigeria.
Plenty of folks in FRC used to claim teams were demolishing others by purposely getting high scores. Thought it would be fun to hear commentary about this one as well.
Notable parts :
Krzyzewski nodded toward Nigeria coach Ayodele Bakare and decided to speak for him too. "Coach would think it humiliating if we didn't play hard."
"On the one side, it's terrible to get whupped like that," Nigeria's Koko Archibong said. "But on the other side, it was something impressive to be a part of – impressive to witness in person."
What if you were pretty much demolished by a team in any given match? Would you be upset or would you find it inspirational? Do you think the losing team's reaction would be based more on the conduct of the winning team after the match is over? How would you react if you had to face off against a Dream Team?
Great discussion so far, keep it coming.
