Cowboy4jc Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Now that is just pitiful. What's the difference between losing in the first round or losing in the fourth? Either way you are out of the playoffs. Quote

oldschool2 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I understand the intent. Trying to make a deeper playoff run...but that's just rediculous. Was this like a league game or something? Or some type of seeding game?... If so they should've just flipped. By the way...an administrator went up to the coach and asked why the starters weren't in...I would've told him that I'll play who I want when I want. Cowboy4jc 1 Quote

OneChance Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I don't agree with the coaches decision, but where in the rule books does it say you are not allowed to lose on purpose? That is why you should go to a coin toss to decide the tie breaker for seeding if it is not to decide a championship. Quote
Cowboy4jc Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Well, this is a potential buzz kill for future interviews. "I see here on your resume you were released from your last coaching position because you tried to lose. Care to explain?" Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
