: Please be honest and do NOT drop players to a lower level just to win games. Young people see cheating and think its ok. It's not. Have integrity. Be a leader. And this has nothing to do with scoreboard. Its about sportsmanship and integrity for young people.

Had that happen against a JV team this year. We beat them the first time played them by 6, then when we played them a second time two varsity players were brought down to play. They won the game for them in the last 2 mins and we lost by 4. Winning at all cost for some coaches, ever at the JV basketball level.
