Final from Lincoln Co. a beat down.

[4 Quarters]

Final from Lincoln Co. a beat down.

You took the words rite out of my mouth.

[HOOPFAN]

Good win. Beat down for sure. Just an observation watching the game. When you are up 30 to 40 points in the third quarter. It looks bad on the coach to still have his starters with a running clock. Up 50 beginning of the 4th and you start your starters and play them pushing the lead to 60. You look totally classless as a coach and program. The last starter came out with about 40 seconds left in the game. The tv announcers even said something. How shocking it was. Why do that to a team you’re beating by 60? Stat padding? You hate the other coach? It really took away how well APB played early. Sportsmanship is a part of sports. Starters picking up man to man full court in the 4th up 50-60 pts on much lesser of team is just sad and pathetic.

For once HOOPFAN we sort of agree. With the running clock Coach Bonner should have emptied the bench when the third quarter ended. He subbed a little too early a few games ago and it almost came back to bite him, maybe that was it? I don't know?? But there was no danger of that happening here. He has a big heart and when he reflects back he'll learn from this experience.

I agree. Being up 20 against an able team is not a big enough lead with the way 3pt line is utilized in today’s game. I think in this case we could all see that come back wasn’t even possible when it was 20pt lead. Once you hit north of 30 against weaker, less skilled team, it would have been safe. Especially knowing you they have a game today. I think he needs to award those bench guys with actual game time. Last night he had an opportunity to do that but chose not to for whatever reason. Just shocking

Just shocking is a little dramatic, but I'll roll with it. By the way, where did you find it on TV? I looked all over and couldn't find a livestream. Probably my tech skills lacking....

Found it, a day late and a dollar short but I found it.

Just remember, what goes around usually comes around!

[HOOPFAN]

Just remember, what goes around usually comes around!

I agree, but the key word is usually. It’s not always the case. Are you saying you want APB to get beat by 60? If so that’s a bad look as well. Two wrongs don’t make a right!

[Old School Hound]

I remember Steve Wright doing this to Saint Camillus, except even worse. Says something about your character.

[Fanman]

If they picked up this game, that makes it even worse IMO. They originally had Mercer on their schedule, and i'm assuming they had to add this game late.

I think they wanted to pickup a game down that way since they are playing Brardstown this evening at Brardstown.

Does this statement go the same way if you are losing by 30?  Do you leave stars in to get there average or do you pull them?

You trying to justify the actions of a coach who leaves his starters in up 50 to start the 4th qtr. up 30-40 in the third. You truly are special. You could hear the announcer and fans speaking out on it. Sir you really need to check your character. People like you should never be around sports if you try to defend pulling starters with a 50/60 point lead. It is an extremely bad look on Ryan. He must hate the coach or pad stats in my opinion. Either way a bad look. I wouldn’t expect anything else from you k-y jelly

Anyone defending that behavior from a coach would get on my nerves. Just as LC faithful witnessed this night. Ashland fans told me who attended the game it went from cheering on APB to being embarrassing. Even had the family of LC coach yelling at Bonner during the second half. Now if Ashland is down 30 and LC is picking up full court etc…. By all means you better fight so you don’t get beat by 50-60. I’m sure LC wanted to sub in kids that don’t get to play much but how could they in a game decided by running clock in the third and APB has starters in until 40 secs left in the game? I ask you. Why would you do that? It was a question?

[4 Quarters]

I don't think anyone really feels that APB is 60 points better than Lincoln County. I wasn't at the game, but I feel it was just one of those nights for Lincoln. This was an add on game for Lincoln and they should not have played it if they weren't prepared, which they were not. If you were APB would you travel 150 miles to play your JV team for 20 minutes of the varsity game? Maybe APB was waiting for Lincoln to sub first.
If you watch the Riherds scoreboard, these beatdowns happen quite often. Lets move forward.

Regardless of the reason APB scheduled the game. Trying to knock two games out while on the road is a pretty good idea. Planning was good. Which leaving starters in on a two game weekend makes his actions worse.

Why would a the team who is up 50/60pts wait until the team getting beat by 50/60 sub first!? Makes no sense.

Beat downs do happen. If your subs are pushing the lead in a 30pt + game on a running clock not your starters is the point of this response. The running clock rule was put in for games like this. It would be an indicator to the Head Coach to let the light bulb go off and say “Hey I might want to let some guys who never get game time play”. Help those guys feel part of a team instead of all time observers. My question is would be for him would be this. What point difference would you feel safe to put jv/subs in?? We know 60pt differential!

I understand what you're saying, but for one reason or the other, some coaches won't sub until the losing team starts to sub.  That's not my stance, but it happens.

I think if your leaving kids in either way to get stats. You have instances like what we are talking about.

I answered this in my last reply to you. If the team winning by 30 still has the starters in trying to push it to 40-50-60. Yes you best leave your starters in as well. If you are playing for averages that is a problem as well. Runs along the same mindset of beating a team by 60 with your starters in the entire time. Both really bad looks

It’s a little easier for your guy to get his averages when you play a Mickey Mouse schedule.  It’s a joke but it’s also true.

BC schedule is tougher than APB. Has been to this point for sure. Injuries robbed BC of really seeing how well they could have competed first half of the season. Should be getting a few kids back this week or next. Kitty Kat you are always hating. Lol

HOOPFAN, please see BOLD above.  Getting the hang of BGR and learning all the functional buttons feels like unlocking secret levels in a video game! Copy & paste coming in.  LOL I really didn’t think you answered it in a very sincere way, but hey, maybe that’s just the roids talking—gotta love when the muscles do the thinking for you!

[UK1]

In general bad idea to press and leave starters in with a lead this big. I would think with the distance between both schools probably not beef between teams/coaches. That being said I have seen Lincoln run the score up when they can. It sucks when it happens to your team but I have seen Lincon run it up before. When Lincoln did it to us we weren't crying after and they weren't apologizing lol.

[-STAT-]

Here is my question, is Lincoln Co really that bad to lose by 55 points?

It wasn't all that long ago, around 2-3 years to be exact that they were a State Tournament semi-finalist taking eventual Champion GRC to the brink in a Double OT thriller in the semi-finals.

I know Ashland is a good team but find it hard to believe Lincoln Co is that bad.

I wouldn't say this is one of Lincoln's better teams, but certainly not a bad team.  No way APB is 55 points better, just one of those nights.

[DukeBoy]

A loss is a loss whether by 1 or 100. Not an MMA match, just basketball. Lincoln will need to work on some things and try to get better. Shake it off and go on and leave APB alone. Get better is all I gotta say or don’t play good teams if your that bad. Got a choice.
