What A Complete Douche

[Youngblood]

I have mixed feelings on this. I also would like to know, as it isn't entirely clear, to what extent the learning disabilities go. It isn't only dyslexia from what i've read (which I agree means nothing in the world of sports).

I know that around here for hockey, other sports too, it is considered pretty bad form to run up a score on a team when the end result is inevitable. Generally the coach will pull his best players and give the players who might be more sideline players more ice time and stuff like that. This coach says he did that. The other coach say not in regard to the defence.

I also know that personally, I've had a fight en route to a championship on which I was asked that if it got lopsided to go easy, as the person I was fighting was a stand in for a no show and may not be too good (even tho 2 years older). It placed me in a bit of an awkward position. Here I have trained my ass off for a year for this week of championships, and now I have to go easy? As it turned out...the guy came out at the bell and smoked me one first...so that made what I had to do easier. But I soon knew he was no competition and just landed punches to make pts. Not really hitting hard. Felt like I screwed up almost when they called a RSC2 30 seconds into 2nd rd as pts were 22-1.

It was a dbl edge sword, in that I was glad I won, but didn't feel tested to give it my all. I got to amend this feeling by fighting the person who dropped out a few weeks later...so this helped. KD'd his ass.

There may well be more going on here that we don't know about. Maybe the players who were winning felt pressured to run up the score. Maybe the guy is a fughead over-agressive type when it comes to coaching and has little for values outside of wininng? They do exist. Maybe he was dancing and high 5ing the players every pt after 50-0 coming to the bench? So basically I would really need more info. to make a judgement on it personally, is my overall opinion.

I don't think I'd let the score get up that high coaching, if I could help it...personally, and especially on a team with such a poor record.
