Re: Apologizing for Blowout Match

According to this letter from the (now fired) coach off of the teams web site [http://www.flightbasketball.com/100-...om-Coach.html] He stopped the "Full court press" after three minutes into the game after they already scored 25 points, and also there were only 4 3-point shots in the entire game, 3 in the first quarter, and 1 in the third.

Take a look at the story from another perspective. I think that what he did was right. You should not forfeit the game if you have a blowout. You should be respectful to the other team and make sure you let them know that they played hard too and tried their best.

Please, take a look at the letter, it really paints a different picture than what the media had been painting.
