Should the coach have been held to blame for this?

I agree that they should have held down their score. That said, there really should be a mercy rule. I played on the worst softball team in the league, and we appreciated that rule a whole lot!

This is what I don't understand. How do you hold down a score against a team that scored ZERO points? That means the Covenant team would have to just run around the court, not shooting anything (cause God forbid a shot makes another point) until time runs out. That isn't fair to the Cambridge team.

Again I say, more of the responsibility should have been placed on the DA team coach (even the school).

ETA: I know this is a private school, but I still agree with the coach speaking out. Why should he apologize for doing nothing wrong? He coached his team to play better, and they did. Is it the Covenant coach's fault that the DA team played horribly? No, he has no control over that.
