100 - 0 = Fired

The coach for the infamous Covenant School basketball team has been fired from his position. He did not agree with the administrations decision to apologize for the shame and embarassment that he brought to the school. He responded via email to the local newspaper, which probably was not the smartest thing to do.

A portion of his response is quite telling:

"My values and my beliefs would not allow me to run up the score on any opponent, and it will not allow me to apologize for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."

I could think of a whole host of things that could have been done to prohibit such a wide margin of victory that would not have required the coach to just pull his team off of the floor.

If you must...here's the article.

  1. For what it is worth, this post's title is the most creative yet. Too bad the old ball coach wasn't as creative with game management.
