Anyway I -- might pure I'd like you just stepped out onto onto the -- go ahead but they are you my colleague another step -- we've. -- You got the covenant school playing Dallas academy. And -- academy is. You know players through a learning disabilities like they'll have dyslexia. Sorry I guess you know if the place a -- of the right they throw the ball left that are very good. I alienate players on the tour -- governess school beat some hundred to nothing under the -- which is it's a good score -- it outside a 99 to nothing asserted series symmetrical to assaults Jeff. Ended his men our age should apparently -- N and the covenant school apologized put a statement on its website saying it was sorry that one. A hundred no nothing you wish to and only won by thirteen nothing or summit. These are always confusing things should not as I read this story in the fact pattern is like this. The covenant schools working hard the whole game -- but I think 59 to nothing at the halfway up and then the whole second half they were doing a full court press. Try and Odierno did you play and tough.

So the covenant coach apparently. Going to fight it over this because as you pointed out the covenant school administrators. Apparently. Issued an apology. As as Wii's -- PC administrators of -- this -- schools do their absolutely apologize for academic coach said. There's nothing to apologize struck down we play the game -- would play the game fair we play the game the way the game is supposed to be played and if in fact he was up 59 to nothing at the half time. And they're still shooting three pointers. And perhaps engage the full court press. He obviously decided to try to use that -- also way you're a practice it's a real game as an official game the score comes that's this these statistics count all that stuff counts but you can you can use it to try to -- up shop in new -- team's skills there's nothing wrong with that I would have I would take issue with this -- only under one circumstance. And that was it would be if the coach -- or his players. We're into what I call the taunting the verbal taunting the showmanship interface to -- stuff just play the game is it's simulating you know the -- if you -- he may be pouring in in the Super -- today because I heard him on Sunday because and your fabulous athlete huge teams get -- I will also -- yeah but you can still bristle when you get the ball and put an Indians and you're just gonna go -- to the efficient you can do a spike in a dongle that's our gross me out the stupid -- our our chemistry I always just that -- image around wouldn't do that women never do that now -- act as if you've been there before that's the -- however as jay just cell -- so the goal post. Hot hot hot hot hot call -- says I don't know why does start -- No but it it would be that taunting. That would bother me greatly and -- that I would want the coach reprimanded two. -- you know world but disciplined in some way if in fact he allowed are encouraged to -- faced bad behavior but other than that it's a game this -- time -- on all I'm saying in it might be you might win by two points might win by a hundred points. You go vote if -- win need to play the game you don't stop. Simply out of --

No CI just the other side I just know. I if you know that it's ridiculous down why go through the exercise and end in a way that would be humiliating for the other team and yeah I agree with -- that they apparently didn't do any of those bad things overtly bad things but that's a beat up on a -- it's hard thing to be on the losing side -- in a relentless journalists and what's the point of prolonging when it's ridiculously -- Don't -- do good let the other team for fit however practice Sergio and exercise it's gonna be constructive I don't see how continuing with to this particular drama about the other guy's name is constructive for anybody in these kids the Q how about teaching good values about competition how about this how about this than it is at least is humiliating in a follow misunderstand mailing it in that. Out of some sense of sympathy for the are deciding and just cannot. Doubled driven you know walked up and lose the body gonna deliberately thrown out a bunch you're not going to play. The game the way one it's supposed to be played went to the way yet capable of playing -- that is to -- you putting your scrub zone pension debts -- would be more. I -- I agree that doesn't sound appealing us Osama doing a near -- mentor you could do that you can DRU running game he can make sure you substitute break a sweat. And they get today get out did they get some playing time and day get to play in the game conditions even though. It's not competitive the Donald going to be a lot of pressure now arena around that basketball court. -- You know if -- planet that you know 60%. Instead of a 100%. He -- all you open yourself up to all sorts of ever want to do not bad head injuries and all the rest just a bad habits ever take so -- question for you or what do you think about this a high school runs up again and score a hundred to nothing well maybe there weren't running out maybe -- return and you know might have been -- 150 if they were trying but it seems to me that. It's a good learning opportunity they're teaching opportunity. To I'll find a way to mitigate that not humility the other team.

In in terms of the teaching they NN let's take some calls from this we can't 6172666868. You listening to talk -- tyranny and 680 WRKO California calls on this one and he is another question I have for you taught as well as the cause homelessness. Tom what is then that need teaching moment now does the coaching profession. Have to kind of look over -- some PC. Administrator wondering that oh you really -- only one that came by seventeen points instead of 27 we erased the line here as opposed -- we play basketball for 48 minutes has sixty -- so whatever they held -- thing is maybe it's for ten minute periods and data at that whoever has the most points at the end wins if you don't stop trying to score until the final whistle. Those rules let's see what happens instead of OJ let me let me -- my index finger hold an appearance -- with the PC crowd is saying about an appropriate margin of victory that's just seems to me to be absurd.

I agree with -- but I think this one was extreme enough that everybody can look at and say may we should make a judgment. -- a hundred -- nothing -- this is high school after all. And by the way it's a girl seems so we use they usually score like eighteen points out that -- somewhere around eighteen to twelve another way it's hard to know women nobody in our audience a -- goes to. It's going by the constitution do surely this should really do the trick -- I'm 7666860. Days there's schools out of Texas. And I don't know I guy just I think sportsmanship is one of the things. They you have a responsibility in the school setting to teach six point 7266 succeeds succeed Bob in the car you're NW -- atomic Todd hi Bob.

Sorry -- I don't they would -- well at all. -- sportsmanship notwithstanding and all. It'll run up scoring and I've been dark -- Here's my whole life that's saying you know that instance where -- there's been on a team -- what all the match record fortune but -- then. All right get our team gets closer he sources tell -- lineup back and people in this sort of bigger picture it took this team that this in the territory gaming for years and should do what we are popular -- both very competitive I mean -- addicted -- high school latent going to living god by these games still. -- team even be long enough.

Well -- maybe you're right they don't -- what do you do. If you're the coach of the other team tenure here in this situation I mean -- highlight the problems you don't want -- Play at half speed you're risking injury you right risk developing -- have a tie -- deal with a situation where your teams in the game. Where your blowing the other side out too ridiculous proportions.

Yeah I would look no question about it this stark language on the bench for the rest of the game and I'm I'm. A wild boy units can -- in the Spirit.

Guys are I think that's the right approach that you are from a desktop now why again I think of no use of the -- makes a lot of sense and giving them as much time as possible that that now I think that's a nice balanced approach because then again and Bob are column mentioned that he had coached. I'm sure hero was trying to build depths. On -- team -- has been totally objective you let -- complicated place I can say that Europeans you know you have had a chance tryout and against a choice he he had demanded did this happen what within the past week or ten days it's been in the news that long. -- have probably have a fairly lengthy season maybe maybe they get this the coach of -- the covenant coach could take a pair page of the dark grim display book. You know they get the PS guy and at the end Ray Allen to the to the bench as soon as possible because it's a long DMCs -- You get the eighty you don't want to risk injuring then you have the playoffs and alike can't assure you wonder you want to -- the whole team good doing good work out six -- 7266. Exceeds succeed John in -- your NW RJ oh he's failed us.

Hey guys are gonna tell you little story right grandson plays value parking of that -- now we had a game about. Out of the about a month ago. -- Much superb. Ought to think that that's the thing the coaches they've started they were picked up the score up so both -- for nothing less than seven. But so are sold a lot of scoring more played a game play the game. One kid didn't score any bench that I congratulate those two -- three cultures. What a great job and they they were. That's sportsmanship you know they sit there would just. Blown away and they just felt that you know that's that's which -- not not humiliate him like this stuff we'll have.

John I did you know every game you know every sport is obviously different let me ask you this have to hockey team that was up six or seven enough and so dominant obviously that they just could have kept putting the puck in the net. --

During these guys have these kids are young kids now they're 89 year results. The seeing the Walt hinting he would. People -- where the puck into the world taking shots but they each -- we sure we put a sharp. And escorted on this Laura and I congratulated both those -- no immediate kids you know our main job.

And that's what gets -- is still a lot of this is. 2666860. -- ER WRKO atomic Todd I Madden.

Eight you had to examine I don't feel proud that so -- I don't think the issue is that that one big game should like go back. It because you don't -- them there the better team.

Well how about if you put in the scrubs up you put in the second rate third grade fourth straight worst -- you can find.

Well in those -- shouldn't have been mashed up together I guess.

Well that's what happens sometimes Indian you know and a lease situation sometimes is a bad team this team for years they haven't won again I am going in and so we know then they just likes it now so half the time they're gonna take -- right no one laughed when the supposed to be. Australia left and all right. I maybe that was this. Maybe that's amazing they didn't -- score Laura mascot or maybe I did not 6172666860. I'd love to see his competing -- and I hate. This is stupid thing about not scoring have you ever seen those situations where they want keep score show but because they don't want her to his self to stay -- but I but I think -- there were sharp edges normal Simon are that everybody is an All-Star that everybody has -- autocratic I don't doubt -- that -- the DC thank. I just saying that the reason you get kids in these situations is so they can Allard -- and if you have a chance to teach him how to be better sportsman now that's a great opportunity. How was it not though. An opportunity for learned from the defeated team to learn okay then they tell it tell us they're not being yeah okay but the -- they lose vice seventy -- 120 they got there to.

They also saw a gifted apparently far superior athletes playing the game the way it should be played you learn that way to debate like a serious like. The -- used to -- spring training we should talk to Jason about dubbed by the way because you like Florida and I like baseball about being nice which broadcast from -- from spring training to be like we go down there and and we feel we -- we stepped in against. But also some we see we're a Major League fastballs like. That's learning for us.

We need do we need a security when he cages to stand at to a hard hit by the ball -- saw lost 172666. Seats a C amien bossier NW RG a good morning and paying good morning.

I'm -- and.

Granted I -- it must not played Q why don't ask bar in that spot through my head okay.

Cover your ass no. You learn youth organization all -- all along I know I thought maybe isn't it pathetic. He is often time to have to talk to all the women athletes out did this morning and no it doesn't even know what she was always.

I don't think we are among those -- you do -- and citizens.

In nineteen you know that we never want to gain -- Italian so I played a game that we won every game. But the bottom line is if your comment seemed absolutely not I'm generally there would be -- and it would turn into a scrimmage or practice. And live that didn't.

Exactly that's what should happen why go through the exercise when there's nothing to be in by the exercise.

Brand and you can't practice what the other team and you know get better and you know learn from the -- he might not understand why just stayed.

You know what's on and that's a good point you know what's on state media did the coach of Dallas academy the team that's getting absolutely. Provide yet they're just getting drugged up and on the court would it didn't occur to coach the Dallas academy -- obviously approached his counterpart for the covenant school and just sit AJ what do you sex. Let's do somethin' else for the second half well you know we're going to surrender -- bunch turned it into a screen -- we don't know what happened whenever we do know that Michael Grimes that the coach of the winning team and was so aggressive about this that after. His school issued an apology for the hundred to nothing victory that it that it laid on the other team. I'm he he went out he issued his own state issues outside and send us a lot of crap my team was great. So old. I don't know if you would take an act kind of opry sounds like the hyper competitive individual Qaeda that's a chance to teach values morals ethics and our. -- I think our professional sports driven by urban culture urban cultures the end of this mentality in your face -- which I don't know like that phrase you know we never try to demean an opponent because you. Do something good you show respect that's your QB be in a gracious victor -- is what we want to teach okay not how to be a cocky but it can pass.

So this could this these -- the winners could have been as gracious as you would ever hope to see shaking hands afterwards. Good game good effort to see you next week we don't whatever may be some of them played together. Maybe these teams actually play together -- some youth -- and -- like they probably know each other. Hillary you -- know kids you know I think we'll be NF Lexington -- you would know the -- you played against at you know wall famine some of the other schools and in that league if you play baseball -- he -- to know the people you're playing against shares compared they've embarrassed to know these kids who thinks.

200 enough and they were want to be seen when -- enlarge your NW RG a good morning Bob. Good morning good morning --

And then there's the public respect your I don't think you guys are coming for our basketball let -- met -- high school and -- avenue has to twenty years. The leading to a situation -- wish -- school to -- You know we used to do we try to control that game because. -- thinking -- based doing things that didn't end up getting punched you get to -- stuff happens even in the gross gain. So what we try to do a risk when one of what a cogent run up to -- like god what little good code -- how about popular low defense which currently in back output to -- The little door it's amazing how many troubles and how many single women as sideline.

you can try to put his hand on the scales he wouldn't do that in a seriously competitive gamer get a game for championship but you know or visit the regularly every -- game. You try to William Treadway an important role equity into -- us.

It's familiar that they really don't come up with orange scroll web payment that then down into his own defects keep him in the cheek so they know what did they know well -- scored the other kids don't get -- you know Obama.

I had not talk like us all right have a score how how hot I like the idea that it's complete competition. Rock on the throttle full throttle competition for the forty minutes of 48 minutes or whatever it is and let's see what let's see what happens at the end and I kinda like that in the last thing I ever have kids -- gracious and magnanimous victor. Allred you're on the losing side still look them in the I give the -- handshake good games see you next on how much like ourselves about how are.

Talking is a good game to OT just being 100 to nothing just said hey good good game guys good -- nice try -- to -- do you good show crusader for the kids on the -- team up -- right is already our --
