Coach fired for "shameless" win over rival team

[lookout123]

I mean, it may have been a nice gesture for the school to apologize or to call the game a forfit but don't they hire and pay a coach on the hopes that he will bring them a winning season.

At the college and pro level that is certainly true, but at this level the coach's job is to develop players first and win games second. IMO very few of these players has any chance to play the game beyond high school so the purpose in coaching them now should still be to develop skills - not just fundamental game skills, but life skills. While I don't support "letting" the other team score or even a quit shooting policy, a game like this is where you work on new things like putting your less skilled players up front and mandating a certain number of passes or a difficult type of shot. The coach blew it. I'd fire him just for being an ass.
