The question: You are coaching for Faith Baptist. At what point in the game do you make it known to the other coach that if young Mr. Taylor takes another shot that The Lord, or perhaps one of your bench players, will verily smite Mr. Taylor so as to preclude additional gratuitous scoring opportunities? Alternatively, how would you propose to halt this unsportsmanlike display?

(edit- just checked last year's scores and it looks like a 75 point win is extreme even for them)

I'm with Ferrets. Knock this guy on his ass when he gets to 50 shot attempts. When he reaches 99 points, walk off the floor and let him score as many as he can without an opponent. What a stupid fucking thing to do. And it's a bullshit record to have in a team sport.
