Coach, I commend what you have done at Darlington. This is what the game is about. I remember seeing your record last season and was quite astonished at the vast improvement. Keep up the good work. As for the mercy rule goes, I think there is a right way and wrong way of running up the score to a certain extent. What are you suppose to tell your kids that come off the bench and rarely see playing time unless you are up? It is only fair to let them do their job and give all their effort. Starters should be pulled at the this point unless it is necessary for them to play. Remember the kids love to PLAY the game, not play and go home after 25 minutes vs the full 80.
