Just not right to do that, especially at that level. Nothing wrong to beat someone at something but that is just way over the edge. Allowing that to happen is just not right and he allowed it to happen so he is responsible.

100% agree. But why is this story news? It appears this story has only caught fire because of a significant amount of misinformation. Basically, the true story is "Unsportsmanlike coach allows players to completely embarrass other team" but it seems the public perceives it as "Heartless coach forces players to disembowel mentally handicapped kids on basketball court - he also eats kittens for breakfast."
Just look above at this thread, the outrage comes from the misconception that the other team was not mentally competent, as opposed to just really, really bad.
Again, there is no excuse for it, just wondering why this is news.
