[Texas State Record] Yates annihilates Lee High School 170-35

the score is of permanent record, hell this score is a "record" maybe these kids will laugh at it when they're older.

 

I bet most of the people here whining about this are the type of people who take their ball and go home when losing a pickup game

The coach of Lee HS should stop trying to tell the other team how they should play basketball and learn to play it themselves. It's just pathetic to hear that coach talk about how he felt disrespected. He should feel embarrassed and nothing else.

As for those who say the Lee players should "take out" a Yates player, there are NO rules that state you should quit because the other team sucks. There are rules against flagrant fouls on players and trying to take someone out. I don't see the correlation between the two.

 

what yates did. if they had not have done that, they other team wouldn't have flagrantly fouled you. running a full court press up 100 points is the same thing as taunting. if you don't want to pay the price for being an *******, don't be an *******. pretty simple.

 

Did I ever insinuate as much? I believe I haven't.

Like I've asked earlier and I hope you can answer me this: If the coach from Lee HS knew what was going to happen (i.e. blowout) before the game, what exactly is he doing to help his team's cause? It he going to actually try and prepare his kids to score more than just 12 points in a half or is he going to let 100-12 happen, send out a player in retaliation because he can't get his kids to score more than 12 points in a half, and complain about "lack of respect" at the end?

If I were a parent of one of the Lee HS players, I would question Yates' motives for sure but I would also be questioning what in the hell was my kid's coach doing in preparation for Yates?

A 170-70 blowout is no different from a 170-35 blowout because the results are still the same but at least I would have comfort in knowing that the losing team is actually doing SOMETHING on the offensive end.

 

That's stupid. One is within the rules, the other isn't.

Your logic is akin to "Well my wife shouldn't have mouthed off to me if she didn't want to get smacked around"

 

do you not understand that there is a massive talent difference between the two schools? it's not like they were equally matched and the only reason they were blown out is because they were outcoached.

baylor women were up on swt 70-11 or something at halftime of their game last week. final score was like 95-25. there's a reason that score's not making news while this one is. it's because baylor isn't coached by a classless person.

 

I can not see the video. I wish I could. Why could the losing team not break the press? Was it a lack of athleticism or a lack of preparation? Were there no adjustments? Did they press back? I guess I need to see the video. I've coach subvarsity basketball for the last 13 years. I only run two defenses. Full court and half court help side man defense. The last 4 games, we have held teams to an average of 12 points a game while averaging close to 60. By halftime, we are in a half court man playing all players.

Am I exhibiting bad sportsmanship because our defense does not let the other team score?

 

thanks for the reasonable discussions, we're all a bunch of p*****s because we think its a lack of sportsmanship. great argument

 

tough ****. you have to know when you're rubbing something in someone's face, you might face a consequence. i don't necessarily agree with a flagrant foul in that situation, but to not expect it or even complain about it is absurd.

 

wow this is beyond laughable.

"Guys, we can't play a single lick of defense and we obviously can't score more than 12 points in a half but if you retaliate physically and act like you give a damn about your reputation, no one is going to fault me for not preparing you guys better for competition. Remember, if you can't beat them at basketball, at least get in a cheap shot here and there. After all, a cheap shot means we finally gave a damn while a team that beats us by 100+ points means they're assholes."

Get real.

 

SNOOKI GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED!!!!

 

jesus, you answered your own question. by halftime you are in a half court man playing all players. you're not still running a full court defense.

 

High school records may mean nothing to you, but I guarentee you they mean something to the high school players who either hold them, or try to obtain them. It's why they are there in the first place, why there is a high school HOF, etc. There is nothing wrong with a high school kid trying to break a high school record.

And since you mention Bellaire baseball, it's funny how they are never criticzed for drilling a team. Katy either.

 

you really think this was an issue of coaching?

 

But if I played a full court man defense, it would be bad sportsmanship?

I play all my players over the course of a game. I was in my regular rotation. My half court defense was probably more effective than my full court defense.

So basically, playing stout defense and keeping the other team from scoring is NOT bad sportsmanship?

 

I am QUITE sure I have stated that there was a big talent discrepancy in an earlier post if you had decided to read this whole read but no matter.

I'm interested in what Lee HS's record was before this blowout and how many points they actually scored a game. Yates' points per game is about 115 (from what I remember from the ESPN news clip). So, in essence, they are putting up massive amounts of points against their competition.

As for your analogy, you're saying the baylor coach has class because they slowed down and only scored 25 points. Hell, why didn't they just stand around and pass the ball around and run out the shot clock? That would have made it even more balanced.

 

um, they just were. and by one of the most popular sports radio hosts in houston. also, katy doesn't run up the score. they play second and third stringers when they get a big lead and continue to run the ball. if they were throwing bombs while they were up 40, then they would be criticized.

 

I disagree obviously because personally if a team is beating the team that I am on that bad I would be upset at myself and the other players on my team instead of the team that I am playing.

 

if you can't see that running a full court press against a vastly inferior team while up 100 in the second half isn't bad sportsmanship, there's really not much to say.

baylor didn't just stand around and pass the ball because that's not the only other option. as numerous level-headed people have pointed out, there are many other things a team can work on when they're up 100 instead of their full court press.

rhad's signature has never been more appropriate to me. some of you people are disgusting and i hope you're not around kids in any sort of influential manner.

 

Wouldn't it make more sense for the Lee coach to just forfeit? He has that option.

If you're not going to let the Yates players play their game, why force them to dick around for a whole half of basketball?

If you don't want to play, then ****ing quit.
