92 points is 92 points, but that was a cherry picking extravaganza!

[TxHoops]

I have seen snowbirding like that since 2013-14 Silsbee....

Not everybody was happy with the performance.

Los Osos coach Dave Smith called it "a joke,"  Smith said Chino Hills players fouled on purpose to prevent his team from running out the clock and stopping Ball from scoring more.

"That's wrong," Smith said. "It goes against everything CIF [California Interscholastic Federation] stands for. The Ball boys are very talented and great players, but it's embarrassing to high school athletics. I've been coaching for 35 years, and we've turned high school athletics into individualism.

"It's amazing to watch a kid score that many points. But it's tough to say that's what CIF athletics is about."

The opposite team's coach should be ashamed to allow a kid to just snowbird like that the whole game.  At what point were you going to leave a kid back on defense?

That's where your enforcers come in.  I didn't get to play a lot, so when my friends and I got in we competed to see who could foul out first.

I couldn't score 92 if I was in the gym by myself.

Well, all you gotta do is make 46 uncontested layups...  You usually do this in practice...

True and I think Reb could.   Just might take a few days...

Good for him! If you dont want someone to put up 92 on you, stop him! If you are the opposing coach and have a problem with it, find another profession.

I'm breaking out in a sweat just thinking about having to do 46 layups.  Few days?  Yes, it'd take me a few days - to get my order from The Scooter Store.

You can always recognize those people involved with outside high school basketball.

Has nothing to do with AAU Dove. Just in my blood

You're sort of right, but you're also wrong.  You as a coach would not have allowed it, whether the kid was on your team or your opponent.  It was not basketball; it was a layup contest to see how many points the kid could score.  Was a joke.  If it was your son or mine, they wouldn't have wanted any part of it either, because it didn't mean anything.  Our sons would rather score when it meant something, in the context of a real competitive game.  

 

[oldschool2]

But...Did they win?

No, but seriously.  It's pretty embarrassing to have an opposing player hang 92 on you.  Whether you're the coach or a player is irrelevant to me.  By the way, I hope that kid doesn't think it'll be that easy to score in the NCAA.  Good grief...

[Tigers2010]

I have no issue with running up the score or scoring as many points as you can, but to be winning and intentionally fouling the trailing team to stop the clock is ridiculous.

[BIG SHOW]

Not impressed!!! I can find a dozen of players from SETX that would of scored 92 points in that game.  If I worked for ESPN I wouldn't of even reported the points because of the manner in which he did it. Smh.

Very true that I wouldnt have allowed it. But if I were the opposing coach, I wouldnt have complained about it. Thats more the point I was trying to make.
