  • I think the other couch shuld of gotten fired for not scoring a point

  • It's kind of funny that if the winning team played the Dallas MAVERICKS they would lose 100-0.

  • how the fuck did the other coach not get fired? our high school played california school for the deaf and they at leas scored 10 points in football.

  • No such thing as too competitive a team like that academy has no business being in an actual competitive sports game.

  • notice the other school had only 20 girls in the school and eight on the team. None of them were seniors, so quite frankly, this team could have went to JV. Or just dropped out and joined a rec league. The point is that this man should have not been fired. The guys in the losing teams adminstration who set up these varsity games should.

  • wow he put his 2nd string in and still won 100-0 the admisistration needs to grow up. now because he didnt even try to go hard on this other school they still fired him. Who looks like the idiot.

  • The other team (dallas academy) only had 8 girls in the team. The Academy itself is made up of 20 girls. The academy is for girls that have learning disabilities.

    I thought you guys should know that so then you dont say rude comments such as "they must suck" or "should have stayed in the kitchen" etc, etc.

    But i do think the coach shouldnt have been fired, I think the girls in the covenant team were being too competitive.The coach even told the team to hold back because they were winning 25-0.

  • he got fired.. for doing his job too well. right

  • 0:10 AIRBALL

  • he wasn't fired for winning 100-0. He was fired because he's black.

    And why would you interview a person from outside their car?

  • Thats whats wrong with the country. Lets all PRETEND we are all winners.

    There are no losers.

    Everybody gets a trophy and no ones feelings get hurt.

    Now lets begin with some nice yoga warmups.

    .

  • He did his job well. It's not his job to make the other team feel warm and fuzzy.

  • A simple fix for this "problem" would be to just not keep score. You know like the T-Ball kids do. For crying out loud. How do we know that the other team din't "let them win" ?

  • Your supposed to win tf? lol

  • y didnt the fuckin refs call mercy rule now he aint got a job cuz dat

  • pay attention humans...this coach was not fired for winning 100-0...he was fired for not apologizing...he could have told his players to use up the shot clock before scoring but obviously did nothing like that

  • @treezX But, most high school games don't have a shot clock?

  • @treezX appologize for winning? Now how ridiculous would that sound?

  • @TheVladify he was not asked to apologize for winning...how thick headed are you?

  • he didnt deserve to be fired my middle school team we lost every game from 7th to 8th grade usally by huge margins an yet the other teams coaches werent fired but now look were in high school combined with our other two middle schools to state that fact an were one of the best high school teams in east texas.another fact dallas is 2 hours from us

  • too many cry babies playing sports. the other team who was inept in scoring a simple basket probably shouldnt be sporting a basketball team. matbe they should play checkers...wait they might not be able to jump their opponents checkers once

  • Another case of liberal politics. Everyone deserves a medal and award, no matter what they do (or don't do) to earn it. This cheapens the awards because everyone gets one. I remember when my son came home with an awards certificate from school one day. He immediately threw it in the trash. I asked him why he did that and he said it didn't mean anything because everyone got an award. This applies to this game also. How dare the coach beat this team by such a margin!

  • It is NOT Coach Grimes' job to keep HIS team's score down, that is the responsibility of the OTHER COACH. Looks like the wrong coach got fired.

  • This is crazy, I know winning by huge margin doesn't really teach either wise anything but its not his fault the opposing team wasn't up to it, and to be fired is simply madness.

  • Wtf

  • that's not why he was fired, see other vids & news stories at the same time-no doubt he will walk away head high as he should, but it is not up to the coach to bench his entire team or order them to stop touching the ball. if there is a "mercy rule" in that county, it would've gone into effect. u can believe the opposing team learned alot about sportmanship, except when they read their own school administrators pour out whinerisms admonishing coach's "good job" -in reality only 2 points won it!

  • Comment removed

  • He should have had his girls take a knee honorably after a respectable showing.... that is REAL sportsmanship. But I agree that firing is a bit harsh- Just a slap on the wrist should have been enough.

  • @nevelesnow

    take a knee? can you explain?

  • He shouldn't have been fired, but he SHOULD have had his girls take a knee after a respectable showing. That is ALWAYS the honorable thing to do when the opposing team is suffering. He's a young coach....I hope he won't let his ego get in the way of learning a compassionate lesson in REAL sportsmanship.

  • Boy, was this a no win situation for this man! If he had slacked off on the other team, he probably would have been fired as well! Hire this man hack! He did NOTHING wrong!

  • america...

  • wow fuck the system how can u punish someone for winning u only have 24 seconds to shoot so u really cant run up the score fuck

  • I think they fired the wrong coach LOL

  • @MrPappa2566 hell yeah.......if he was white that wouldnt happen ;)

  • Bring all kids down to the lowest common denominator.. That is all schools are good for now.

  • The other team had mental challenges it wasnt like normal girls on normal girls. I feel bad for the loser girls hahah but man do i wish i could beat another Highschool Boys Basketball team 100-0

  • He should go to the Cavs... that team seriously needs SOMETHING. Lol.

  • If he lays back and lets the other team score then thats even more disrespectful because that be saying that the other team is gabage they came to play and thats what they did.

  • Sore losers.

  • Comment removed

  • What were the girls suppose to do. Just stand on the court and wait for the other team to get to their basket and score? If they were really going to run it up, they could have really done much worse. Coach did not deserve to be fired. Totally uncalled for!

  • Yes, the other school did focus on kids with learning disorders, but thats no reason to fire him. When you lose that badly, it should give you something to focus on for next time

  • wait? what the fuckk? u tellin me he got fired .... FOR WINNING ...

  • lack of information in the clip, the other team was from a school that focused on kids with learning disorders. a little bit rude to stomp them, but still no reason to fire him

  • He needs a record contract. great song

  • This is what is wrong with the world today. People would rather try to make everybody equal than to push the ones that are a little bit better. Some kids are just better than others. It's that simple. If those girls had slacked off then the other team might have thought, "hmmm, if we fail enough in life, people will give us things. Why work to get better?" Like I said, some people are just better

  • If michael jordan played a game and scored and the bulls scored 100-0 i dont think they company would fire phil jackson. So i dont understand why they fired this guy its not like they rubbed it in their faces. I give it to him for walking away with dignity.

  • What was he supposed to do, give the points back? Competition is NOT built around laying back so the other team can have a good showing. It's about doing your best AND doing it in a sportsmanlike fashion. From what I've heard and seen coach Grimes builds teams of character and fairness. Good for him for walking away with his head held high. No flies on him.

  • @Jimed756 I agree completely

  • THAT is admirable of Mr. Grimes. Who's the retarded pussy that fired him?

  • HELL YEAH! He had no right to apologize!

  • I believe it was coach Lombardi when asked about the same situation one time, his comment was something like - " its our job to score and their job to prevent that, we did ours", thats competition. Thats like firing Bill Gates for being the best he can be so the competition can have a chance, What are we teaching our children?

  • The girl team was not a autistic. They had ADHD kids also. SOOOO you already know they should of had an edge.LOL fuck it.Its just a game.Have fun and win.Or just apologize for kicking ass. Oh wait you should ease up and let them score LOL.If you score 100 on my team.I would say hey my ass really hurts coach. Im going to keep you posted when I get better players .

  • This is stupid.The game is called Basketball. Not no goal ball. If you dont make the basket.Then you dont make a point.If you grew up aiming buckets and shooting baskets, then you should be alright with shitting on a team. Why fire a coach that did what his title told him to do. I dont see any coach in the NBA saying we should not have kicked that teams ass like that. Cus they be fired if they apoligized after every win they had. They would be soft asses. If you cant handle the heat .You know

  • "I don't think they intentionally went out to make the other team look bad."

    Lol, i think by 20-0 it was pretty clear the other team was looking bad... I'm sure both members of the audience and teammates were laughing.

    The reason why this man was fired (unfairly imo) was because his team dumped on a team from a school that has a total of 20 girls who are all special needs. We don't know how it all went down, but this story is both depressing and hilarious.

  • RDLONG30, you're right if, the other team wasn't from a school of girls most with dyslexia. The school only had about 20 kids and about 8 played on the basketball team. Watch the other video and you'll see what I mean.

  • THE ONE TO BE FIRED SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER TEAM'S COACH, HE MUST BE A TOTAL FAILURE OF A COACH FOR HIS TEAM TO HAVE BEEN BEATIN' SO BAD.

  • America xD

  • Does It Really Matter they wanted a team they got a Team and they got beat So be it Just Basketball

  • the only thing that was shameful and an embarassment was the other team

  • This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What a bunch of over sensitive panzies.

  • Play your best and give it all you got. If the score was 200-0, so be it. What is wrong with this country?

  • fuck this add

  • that's dumb firing him it's the girls that don't know how to play did you see the airball hahaha lmao they suck.

  • y fired thats retarted

    

  • I can't believe they fired this coach. It's a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't! Obviously his girls were well coached and prepared. When are we going to stop this insanity....."good job" punished? Insane!

  • ya know something when you play the game ya play your hardest not to try to embarress the other team. so its hard but you can look at it in 2 different ways so idk whos side i would take

  • wow a 100 to 0 jeez he kicked there fuck'n ass

  • Id promote him O.o

  • Take 8 girls out of a pool of 20 girls who've never played basketball before and attempt to field a team against experienced girls who have actually played and practiced for years. Just what did they think would happen. The PC administrative staff at Dallas AC. who only did this to give the girls a feel good team sport experience are horses asses. It wasn't in the girls best interests and very disrespectful to the value of team sport or the hard work in practice and effort required to field one

  • People are treating it like it were regular people playing people in the Special Olympics. They couldn't be more wrong for giving the losing team sympathy. If you're gonna put that good school on your schedule knowing that your team is awful, then be prepared to lose.

  • What a lot of people don't know about the Dallas Academy is that they only have 20 girls in the entire school. These girls also have ADHD and Dyslexia. This is the reason that the win is causing a lot of controversy. I don't agree with the ruling at all. Athletes in the NBA have these learning disabilities and it obviously hasn't affected them. With the

    25 - 0 score in the first three minutes he obviously did ease up. Whoever fired him made a bad call.

  • fk that, firing a coach for winning? what has this world come to seriously...

  • LOL 25 pts in the first 3 minutes and they only scored 100 total. Sounds like he did ease up on them. This is ridiculous. The mans job is to win games. You cant feel bad for these girls its life. Sometimes u get ur ass kicked in life and life isnt going to ease up on u. This is y kids are so messed up today. Cuz everyone has to win. Everyonne gets a ribbon whether u finish in 1st or 21st place. Tough love is good. Fire whoever scheduled it not the man who did his job

  • damn you juss scared thous girls for life, maybe he was jus livin his life long dream of being a wnba coach, lay up!

  • It must be Bizzaroland down there. The winning coach gets fired and the losers get rewarded with national media attention.

  • Well don't let your girls join the basketball team, but the damn book club.

    Life should be easy right ? You become better by playing against better competition.

  • they shouldve of fired the other teams coach! remember go hardor go home!

  • Why aren't they in the kitchen?

  • @mit871chell Wow such a dumb thing to say. Not only is it very offensive but if I had a tree for every single time I have seen someone post that, your ass would be sitting in a forest. Understood?

  • @DawgFL I sorry speak little english.

  • Here is my take on "running up the score". If you don't like it them stop them. Quit complaining because sports is a competition and you play to win the game. Stop them from scoring. I have no sympathy for the losing team.

  • Its Fuckin Basketball What Do They Want Them To Do Bake Cookies With The The Other Team Like WTF Their High Schoolers. Not Little Kids They Choose To Have A Basketball Team N Knew The Were Fuckin Sorry Sorry As Hell. So Why Would They Play. He Did The Right Thing Run Up The Score On They Sorry Ass You The Game To Win Not BullShit Around

  • are you serious the fuckin winning coach got fired, I see some racist shit going on here

  • @mryjn420090 it is stupid he got fired but dont bring up race. you probably think every crime commited against humanity was against african americans, we are never gonna rise above racism if people like you who bring race up all the time when something bad happens slow down the progression of our society. people like you always preach equality but at the same time you are alienating black from whites.

    your "beliefs" are just based off of some sort of self pity.

  • well maybe if the oponent forfit the game than they would'nt have this problem. Also im pretty sure it illegal to fire a school basketball coach for winning

  • @Farve4ever589 unfortinatly when it's a Private School they can do what ever they want with their faculty.

    It still sucks thought.

  • Our first game we lost by 1 point but that was the other teams last game so I thought that we did pretty good... Now our boys on the other hand lost by 38 points. But our coaches never said anytthing bad. We took the loss and just practice harder in practice..(: Thats how every athlete should be! & DOnt cry because you loose one game theres plenty in the future& make the best of themselves

  • WOW he did ease up he put in his 2nd string players (they're 2nd string dont you think they wanna play and score too? they've been riding the bench all year long) wtf is he suppose to do? tell his kid to let the others score? fuck that! thats not sport thats pitty! refer to Ninga0809s post. The parents of the losing players are pathetic! when life gets rough it just doesnt ease up on you cuz you're having a hard go... that should of been a learning experience for those kids. Fucking babies

  • what the heck do u do if ur team is on fire and the other team is ice cold?

  • I know who ain't going to the wnba...

  • wtf.... are team once lost 14 to 106... lol ya we suck :D

  • This is retarded cuz my team but a team 96 to 11 someting is wrong with america

  • Seriously? My school loses games 90 to 20 or less all the time.

    Look at a private school league sometime, there are always teams that dominate.

  • @cdmcowcam my team 0-32 lol

  • There is a differnce between being liberal and being a pussy ass bitch. I thought America was about being your best all the time. Thats like a guy crying and bringing a law suit against someone that cleaned him out in poker, if he wasnt ready to win or lose he shouldn't have bet. Perhaps those girls who got OWNED should not be playing basketball, there is a cut for a reason. This goes right along with that no child left behind crap. Maybe they'll do better after getting made fun of for a while.

  • so the team should lose or give up points because the other team sucks... what? coaching stradegy should be to go out there and miss? people are to sensitive knowadays. i saw an interwiew with the losing girls and they mentioned they had a learning experience from the lost. LEARNED HOW TO TAKE AN ASS WHIPPIN

  • Wow this is bullshit. I was on the basketball team in middle school and we lost 88-2, the other team was just 15cm taller in average and obviously had better skills, we didn't cry and we didn't expect any kind of apology, if they apologized we would be HUMILIATED.

    We didn't cry, we took the devastating defeat and laughed about it. We shook hands and had a few casual 3 on 3 afterwards, one of the guys actually taught me a good move that I use to this day.

  • coach is a real bitch!!!!!!!!!

  • only in womans basketball would there be a score like this

  • Was he to tell them not to play their best? JESUS CHRIST people get real!!!!

  • Yet another example of liberal type thinking, or the absence thereof.

  • I thought the goal was to do your best! What is wrong with you guys. What an insult it would be to beat someone who just let you win. I want you to know that if you beat me in a game you accomplished something because I was trying to win.

  • seems as though this is justified, this was a sad non example of sportsmanship

  • you guys can call me evil or whatever, but I'll say the truth anyways, women's basketball is shameful and an embarrassment

  • its like a coach saying ohh hmmm lets play ummm 25 percent this time let us know how hard we should play and we'll do that. and what about the times he got beat hardcore should the other coach be fired?

  • Hate to say it, but that's the kind of sore losing attitude I'd expect from a suburban white coach. I don't think the players themselves were at fault. Their coach was just pitiful.

  • Sounds like other team needs to hire him.

  • @whosuckstoday i think the Celtics should hire him

  • give me a break

  • I also think that both coaches from Dallas Academy and Covenant should be reevaluated. Coach Grimes seems to lack professionalism. He could of ask the refs for a running clock. On the flip slip, Covenant's bball coach didn't do a good job of teaching basic bball skills from the look of the edited version of the game.

  • I just saw the edited version of the game. Trust me, you will come to the conclusion that Dallas Academy (DA) could of lost 200-0. You can see that the winning team didn't tried to run the score. Moreover, DA never ran back on defense when they turnover the ball. The main reason coach was fired was because he didn't apologized and toe his former school line. The school's athletic director should schedule games that match the school's talents.

  • @OldSchoolRep Thanks Radio I am glad you gave us that insight.

  • Ok let me get this straight, after 10 years of basketball, and being told to " always do your best, and never quit" Now just because an ADHD school lost, just because they have ADHD (which only effects school, not sports) That rule is postponed. Have you ever heard a coach say, "Hey your up by ten. just forget it, you dont need to play good anymore, just slack off, so the other self-conscious girls dont feel bad about themselves" I havent And they just fired a great coach for that.

  • a coach should teach his players 2 play the spor and win thats what happen.fuck the parent and all those other faggots who feel its wrong 2 win

  • The school board that fired the coach should be ashamed of themselves. The bench was playing the whole game, there is nothing more a coach can do. I would rather lose fair and square 100 - 0 than get a couple of pity baskets.

  • they accidentally scored 100 points...

  • why does everyone care? lmao wtf is a sport... was anyone killed? no.. hurt? nope.. so y the fuck does anyone give a shit lol jesus if u let urself get beat 100-0 in a bball game then u deserved tht shit

  • You are always supposed to give a 100%.

  • If they scored 25 in 3 minutes.. Wouldn't that average out to well over 100? If so, the coach DID let up.... 

  • When you play a sport no matter which one you always give it 100% effort. That was dumb to fire the coach because what was he supposed to tell his team" lets let them catch up" no that would be stupid.

  • @CrazyCubsFan10 very true and when u start letting up to lesser opponents u get a mindset to automatically play down to the other teams level, which is not good

  • why would they face a team full of kids with adhd lol

  • @crowers73 ha dude ur retarded adhd doesnt effect how u r at sports u dumb cunt. its just how u do in school. ever heard of chris kaman one of the best centers in the nba he has adhd. asshole

  • thats stupid that he got fired... he put in the bench after three minutes, is he supposed to tell his players to stop playing???

  • click on my channel for sweet

    BASKETBALL TRICK SHOTS

  • the other team was full of kids with mental disabilities

  • no you fucking piece of shit they have ADHD and dyslexia. a ton of people in public schools including yourslelf have this its not a mental disabilities go fuck yourself

  • an important thing to look at here is that he lost 82 to 6 and he didnt cry about it. but when he won the other team didnt like it. the thing to keep in mind is that the game should have been ended and the LOSING coach should have conceded it. when it got to 80 to 0 he shoulda walked over there and said, "yup you just whupped our asses lets call it a night they are kids" otherwise the loser wanted to and DECIDED to continue LOSING and they certainly did.

  • It's considered disrespect when you put in your worst players and play terrible. It's like saying to the other team, " we know were too good so we'll stop." You are supposed to play the game throughout the duration.

  • this was certainly acceptable the object of the game is to play defense and get on offense and score and they did this really well the other team probaly knew they wasnt prepare

  • idk y the fuck they fired the coach just cuz the other team sucks and his players r good

  • I'd take a look at who scheduled the game in the first place...

    ?

  • everybody should just stop crying...i mean its the school fault,thats why they shouldnt have a basketball team if there going to be crying every time they get there ass kicked...i mean the freshman in my school get there ass kicked every time,last time they lost 90 somithing to 2....lmao they blow ballsss:D:P

  • LMFAO!

  • I love the smug picture of the guy.

    A little man in an even littler fishbowl.

    If you defend this, you don't understand the purpose of youth sports.

  • @ coolkorsahw: Gayass. The school that they beat focused on challenged people.

  • so he won....and he got fired? So, he freaken kick the other asses so hard they are shitting boots in the toilet right now. Sorry that you overkill the team man, I wish I could have saw that

  • " Brian Thomas...the Associated Pressed"

    The idiot doesnt even know that it's the Associated PRESS, not pressed.

  • Comment removed

  • The high school is promoting point shaving and the coach refused.

    Besides, the other team made themselves look bad.

  • wow thats the most fucked up thing I have ever heard. People have turned into the biggest dumbasses these days. WHy the fuck would you fire a coach who makes you win and kicks peoples asses? hahaha that school is fucking retarded.

  • wow, what bullshit, i play ball, we've been killed and we've destroyed others, no need to fire coaches, i'd petition this shit!

  • it looks like that coach got high just before that picture was taken

  • whats he suposed to say let them have a basket because they cant get one on there own?? thats mean that would make the other team feel worse because they cant score on there own so why dont we give them a basket? you dont do that thats disrespect and how can you fire a guy for winning? so he would have kept his job if he lost??? WTF

  • The coach won a game. How horrible! He is a freakin monster! What a meanie. What about the other girls self esteem! I am going to go cry. How could a coach actually let his team win? They should have scored for the other girls to make it even. so there were no losers.

  • That is some straight bullshit sandwich, heavy on the shit. There's absolutely no reason he should of been fired. The team that his girls played against weren't physically or mentally handicapped, they had simple shit. Like A.D.H.D. and dyslexia. Alot of players in the NBA have those conditions. Doesn't keep them from playing the game well. It's not the coach's fault and it's not the girl's either. The girls on the other team just didn't put forth enough effort.

  • Why shouldnt they make the other team look bad... its on of the funniest things to do :p

  • bull shit y should he b fired if his team is beast

    it a competition y tha fuk shud they stop completely bull shit

  • They were playing against mentally challenged kids...

  • man they had a.d.d that's not mentally challenged that's learning disabled its not like they had down syndrome they just have trouble paying attention in class don't we all

  • Agreed.

    They had ADHD and dyslexia.

    They didn't have anything that would effect their play in the slightest.

  • its a shame... i dont think race has anything to do with this... and yes is a stupid reason why this man got fired. I say its the team that he coached that suck horse balls and they play the game like they know. A coach is there to guide you and make you a better player but its all up to the player to take the teaching in and apply it to the game.

  • wow. this is a RACIST move man. if he was white he would have not got fired,

  • and you know this how? shut the fuck up you know it's not true

  • I lost a hockey game last year 24-3 when I was playing AAA. Their coach didn't get fired...

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • they probably only fired him because the other team had ADHD and dyslexia, which doesn't affect gameplay at all . . . and like Ninga0809 said below me, if i found out that another team didn't play their full 100% against ours cause they felt sorry for us THEN i would be embarassed. one of the girls on the losing team was interviewed and she said that she had an awesome time playing cause she got to learn new things about basketball . . . the fact that the coach was fired is ridiculous.

  • i have ADHD and i play a very high level of bal... 20 points a game...with ADHD

  • yeah, you're basically proof that ADHD barely effects gameplay and the school wouldve lost anyways since they've never played.

  • i understand they should of eazed up a lil but no reason to be fired

  • You could be my son coach anyday if you got your children to focus until the game was over 100 to 0 wow! Check out Shavar Newkirk Class of 2014

  • Comment removed

  • Common sense says you can not field a viable high school team drawing from just 20 inexperienced girls. The idiots are the Administrations of both schools. The Dallas school who wanted to give the girls a feel good team experience with out a clue as to the minimum of required abilitys. Anti-athletics educators- what do you expect. should have put them in a league where they have an opportunity for success. The winning team and coach were the one"s shortchanged and stuck in a no win situation.

  • Really? The team they played against was awful. There skill level is compared to a rec elementary team. There's only so much you can do there. If your player has a completely wide open shot available, one where they've ran a play for, or moved to put them self into position, are they just supposed to not shoot?

  • The team had some metal problems I think

    Im not sure

  • They had like ADHD and stuff like that, nothing extreme that impeded their ability to play.

  • they had adhd and dislexia

  • you know the team with 0 were very "slow" right?
