If I understand correctly, the instruction was given by the dominant team not to co-op so as not to give their opponents any co-op points. This was not a throwing the match situation.

As for whether it's good strategy or poor play, it's both. In terms of ranking, it's good strategy (unless your opponents beat you) as you get 2 RP, they get none. It's also poor strategy if other highly-ranked teams do co-op and get 4 RP. Your opponents get 0 instead of 2. Seems to be a reasonable strategy, but not one I'd intentionally practice personally.
