If I were a coach (which hopefully I will be one day) I would probably never let up in a game. Games are meant to be won, so I would do everything, legally, to win. If a team couldn't stop my 1st stringers for 4 quarters, it's not my fault. People are too soft nowadays, they can't handle defeat. Take the beating like a man, and admit you're team doesn't compare to the other.[/quote]I fear you will have a short coaching career with that strategy[/quote]I fear you had a short coaching career with your strategy.

If I get my behind beat, that means I have to go back to the lab (gym)and get better prepared for the next encounter.
Guest sal Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Winning and winning big has never bothered me whether I was getting beat or doing the beating. Been on both sides of it.

I've been apart of embarrassing games on both sides, and I had no problem with either.
