Coach,
thanks for the response. It is interesting to me learn the thoughts of how other coaches view this conundrum.
I have learned tonight that there were other mitigating factors.
It seems that some of the HHP players are also participating in the Spring school play and had to leave at halftime of the game to go to play practice as the play starts Thursday.
The coach had two choices, leave his starters in to play the whole game or try and not run the score up by taking players off of the field because he had no subs.
