Should the coach have been held to blame for this?

Yeah, that is what I wondered too.....even the worst players can get at least score one basket.

I mean, it was wrong for the Cambridge coach to run up the score, but when was he suppose to call it? At half when the score was 59-0?

If they cut it at the half, parents of the DA players would have probably been upset that they didn't get a chance to up their score, and people would have still complained that he run up the score.

It's a possibility that his firing was a result of his publicly speaking out against the school's apology on thier website.

How can the school look to be apologetic if the head of the team refuses to go along with the apology?

If both entities are in disagreement over the apology, it's probably worth nothing to give it.

Ahh yes, I can see that, although it is a dumb reason to fire someone (although with school districts, any "dumb" reason can get someone fired)
