To two.

Now parents on the losing side -- wanna know why wasn't game called off sooner why it was a -- sportsmanship shown perhaps by the winning team.

Bob -- -- -- the athletic director at Arlington high school the team that took the beating that school that lost big time so thanks for joining -- Bob are you upset.

With with Bloomington south.

For the thank you for having me as a school we all know or feel is towards -- -- -- The way we look at it right now is is our robots -- program is.

Very beginning stages of development.

We currently have ten -- in the whole program.

Six of those Taylor playing basketball.

Altogether for the first time they're not in their life but not -- talk about being on the team for the first time.

Really just play in the game for the first time -- limit himself.

You're in you're out is -- a state power.

Currently there -- wanted and right number ten in the state.

So we would have went we we just see it as.

Two programs that are about all of pull -- -- -- the -- I would say sell a but I think there's a lot of teams that are substantially better than their opponents they don't win by a 105 points would you be disappointed if a team.

Under your jurisdiction won by a 105 point could you be angry -- coach.

Well I mean.

We trust you know what we trust the book itself in those do it in in their coaches after all that they could.

To try to keep the integrity and sportsmanship Beth -- and you know there are things you can do like ticket -- off and things of that nature that we we feel like they did a decent job of them.

You know like is that why don't hold -- your feelings towards him with look as an opportunity for girls to see a program like we'll consultancy where they are and.

Well they saw a lot of program -- He hears the coach said -- winning team the girls on both teams play Harding continued to repeat the entire game to do anything less by either team would have been demeaning.

Our team came out and worked on their player development as did -- The longstanding reputation of our program -- coach is -- that would validate this information essentially saying be more of an insult -- we stop shooting do you agree with that.

-- service that you I mean it.

I -- where do you draw that line of trying not to -- is as marking the opponent and an embarrassing them.

I think one thing that you could look at is the character of our young ladies -- -- that school boards up there all night long for 32 minutes.

And it just like that it -- sell -- was -- their statement almost played -- -- with 32 minutes pulled the coach here really easy for them.

Right like coaching your team said the they they -- shown better sportsmanship.

I think that's to say the least -- event.

You know obviously after after a tough loss like that you know there's some.

As an opportunity for a team to grow it and continue to get better we're taking as as we're just gonna focus on us and our -- by a small program.

We're extremely proud of -- with the effort they gave that night that the fact -- -- it.

The resilient group and young ladies.

You know we're not gonna folks on the negative -- it turns into a positive situation.

Yet he got a maybe as athletic director get to get another athletic -- -- talk about some type of baseball or softball like mercy rule perhaps.

Down by what I.

Right yeah -- -- right or or possibly just the idea of running the clock once you get to certain spread.

You know here in Indiana where -- -- just which is our governing body.

-- -- tightly with our athletic directors and our coaches.

And these are great conversations that we can have moving forward -- You know like we -- we -- -- or Phillies were blew himself -- I thought it you know it's it's a great opportunity for us from Peru.

OK if you're up by ninety against them what you stop you girls from scoring next time around Bob would help thanks so much and -- look at the developing the program.

And the stance you guys have taken good luck -- girls.
