Im curious as to why throwing a game is so bad if it helps your chances in the playoffs?
This isn't professional sports and as such, theres no betting, therefore it isn't illegal to throw a high school game.

Also, a lot can happen in the first or second round. To those that say they'll have to play Bridgeport anyways, my thinking is, what if bridgeports QB goes down to injury or something like that and Mingo beats them later on?

I just don't see why this is looked down upon. I look at it as strategy. Good move by the coach IMO. Thinking ahead.
I don't see how this any different than a team resting players in the last regular season game for the playoffs once they are locks.

Because, even in games where they rest players, 99 times out of 100, most coaches would still play them a few series or a quarter, etc. in my opinion, what Kinder (allegedly) did was not even close to strategy, it's a slap in the face to the game, and to whichever team did not get in. We go on and on about how teams should have to earn their way into the playoffs here on this site, and so forth, and here we have a team who was given (basically) a playoff spot by Kinder's actions that didn't earn their way in. That's the difference. It's not strategy in any way, shape, or form. It is cheating, it is unsportsmanlike, and it is a poor example to set for young men on his team. He should be without a job pronto.
