I wouldn’t put in my best players, but I also wouldn’t put in my worse.
I believe that the winning team should learn that it’s great to win and all but you don’t need to smash on the other team because they are out there trying their best and losing my so much is probably making things harder on them.
I feel like the parents of the winning team are probably pumped and happy that their kids are doing so well but the parents of the losing team is probably upset.
I would not tell my players to take it easy. That is disrespectful to them and their talents but it is also very disrespectful to the opponent and in a way degrades them.
If I were a coach and my team was up by fifty i would tell them to score if they could but to focus on passing and dribbling, etc.
The winning team should learn that although winning feels good, its embarrassing to the team that loses by a lot. The team that lost, they should learn that some people are going to do that, but you cant give up you have to keep giving your all.
I think that the parents of the losing team felt awful for their children who were embarrassed in front of everyone.
I would not tell them to go easy on the opponent, if they could beat them , but I would tell them to just do what they have to do,but with team sports its very different in my opinion.
I would put the players that don’t often play but aren’t the worst. Probably the ones who are close to the skill level of the other teams.
I would want my team to learn how to be a good sport and the other team learn from my teams skills.
Winning teams parents are probably proud but maybe bored at this point. The losing teams parents might be mad based on how the other teams parents or students are. Otherwise they are not feeling the best.
I would not tell and individual player to go easy because it could effect their stats for college or getting better.
I would love to keep my starters in as long as possible but once your up by that many points there is no reason to keep them in when there is the possibility of them getting hurt in a game that doesn’t matter therefore ruining the rest of the season for them.
Like my coach says its 0-0 til the game ends I wouldn’t really get cocky i would let my starters play first half nd my scouts play the second half everyone deserves playing time
