We will not score for the other team. We will not stop trying hard. As a result, we will get a lot of G14 penalties if we are lucky enough to be partnered with great teams. The message I am sending to my students is this:

Be respectful at all times even if it means scoring more than 3x the opponents score on the field.
Agreed. Problem some teams will have low scores and it will be hard not to double. Could be dangerous to keep score close and all of a sudden a penalty makes you loose.

People don't like blow away games, but in NBA you don't pay to watch a team holding back, but you want them to play great ball.
