Did you hear about the two Tennessee girl’s basketball coaches who encouraged their teams to lose.

Hey, the Philadelphia 76ers among other pro basketball teams are being accused of the same thing, but high school girls?

Each teams incentive to lose was getting placed on the other side of the playoff bracket from a powerhouse school.  This so-called bracketology approach was pointed out by the coaches to the girls and apparently they got the message.

You’ve got to look at these two videos, you won’t believe it.

The girls intentionally missed 12 of 16 free throws.  The refs had enough when one girl was going to intentionally shoot at the wrong basket.

Fortunately, both teams were subsequently disqualified from the playoffs because of these shenanigans.

When did playing to win get to be not enough?

When did teaching impressionable young people to throw a game become acceptable?

Trying is winning.

Playing harder is winning.

Overcoming adversity is winning.

Knowing how to lose is rehearsing how to win tomorrow.
