What’s the rotation? Who’s going to earn minutes? You only have so many games. You can’t just throw them away. Just play your game. The score doesn’t really matter. Do you think the other team would feel better if they had lost by 70 than if they lost by 90?

I’ve seen this kind of thing in Little League games were one team continues to press when they’re up by 50 at the very end of the game. That’s a different situation. In this instance, basically the preseason of college basketball, these coaches can’t waste these minutes. Play your system.
