I agree 100%, but it is also a coaches job to avoid reckless use of his players. If I were a playoff contender such as JC and Paintsville will be, I wouldn't ever risk my starters beyond the 1st half if I were up big. That is just plain stupid IMO. But if a team is just out to play and has no post season opps, then there is nothing wrong with running up a score if you can. It is just a judgment call by the coach that is winning.

One example is the P-burg vs. Morgan Co. game; or the Paintsville vs. Betsy Layne game. P-burg and Paintsville could have won by 80 if they had wanted. But why risk injury to a key player just to embarass a team. It doesn't impress anyone in the know to beat a team by 70 or 80 points when they have no chance anyway.
