DALLAS -- The coach of a Texas high school basketball team that beat another team 100-0 was fired Sunday, the same day he sent an e-mail to a newspaper saying he will not apologize "for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."
On its Web site last week, the Covenant School of Dallas, a private Christian school, posted a statement regretting the outcome of its Jan. 13 shutout win over Dallas Academy. "It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened. This clearly does not reflect a Christlike and honorable approach to competition," said the statement, signed by Kyle Queal, head of school, and board chair Todd Doshier.
Covenant coach Micah Grimes, who has been criticized for letting the game get so far out of hand, made it clear in the e-mail Sunday to The Dallas Morning News that he does not agree with his school's assessment.
"In response to the statement posted on The Covenant School Web site, I do not agree with the apology or the notion that the Covenant School girls basketball team should feel embarrassed or ashamed," Grimes wrote in the e-mail, according to the newspaper. "We played the game as it was meant to be played. 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."
Queal would not say if Grimes was fired because of the coach's statement, but told the newspaper that Grimes "now only represents himself."
A phone number for Grimes could not be located by The Associated Press. The Dallas Morning News said Grimes did not respond to their repeated e-mail requests for a telephone interview.
Queal did not immediately return a phone message left at his home Sunday afternoon by the AP. There was no answer at a number listed for Doshier.
A parent who attended the game said Covenant continued to make 3-pointers -- even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.
Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime.
Dallas Academy has eight girls on its varsity team and about 20 girls in its high school. It is winless over the last four seasons. The academy boasts of its small class sizes and specializes in teaching students struggling with "learning differences," such as short attention spans or dyslexia.
There is no mercy rule in girls basketball that shortens the game or permits the clock to continue running when scores become one-sided. There is, however, "a golden rule" that should have applied in this contest, said Edd Burleson, the director of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, said last week. Both schools are members of this association, which oversees private school athletics in Texas.
The story has received national attention, and the Dallas Academy team has been recognized for refusing to give up during the lopsided contest.
That coach is a moron. He could have atleast had the girls run out the clock, or atleast give them some pity points. I mean holy shit. Maybe put your lower level players in, and just show a little mercy.
Re: Coach fired after not apologizing for 100-0 win
Their shouldn't be any mercy in sports imo. If they didn't suck so much, this wouldn't have happened. Firing your coach because his opponent was terrible is very very lulz. And how can you not even score one point in a Basketball game? That's just embarrassing. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Well if you read on there were only 20 girls in the school, and 8 of them played for the team. Also, the girls had a lot of issues with learning etc. Probably were terrible at the sport. Still though come on you don't need to be taking 3 pointers when you are up 57-0

Re: Coach fired after not apologizing for 100-0 win
Going for the 3 point shot isn't that bad, it's quite a low chance shot for teens and the score could've been worse if they were going for 2's the rest of the game. Playing soft is disrespectful in it's own right too.
Re: Coach fired after not apologizing for 100-0 win
Yeah, I hate when teams play soft and just play around, imo it's more disrespectful than this. Although going up 100 is a bit over the top and he should have at least said sorry or something.

True cause comparing a high school game to a professional sports game really makes sense. Cause you know I bet those kids are getting paid tons of money to beat the shit out of their opponents.

Either way, the coach was classless, and deserved to be fired.

Re: Coach fired after not apologizing for 100-0 win
Pathetic. If another team sucks that much they deserve it and a coach shouldn't be fired. And I am sure there were no terms of his contract that prevented him from doing so and can sue To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
