A girl’s high school basketball coach in Connecticut has been suspended after overseeing an unreal blowout win.

According to CTInsider.com, Sacred Heart head coach Jason Kirck was suspended after beating Lyman Hall 92-4 this past Monday night. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Yes, you read that correctly. His team won by a margin of 88, and he’s now suspended!

Sacred Heart Academy President Sr. Sheila O’Neill said in part, “Sacred Heart Academy values the lessons taught and cultivated through athletic participation including ethical and responsible behavior, leadership and strength of character and respect for one’s opponents. Last night’s Girls’ Basketball game vs Lyman Hall High School does not align with our values or philosophies.”

Seriously, how weak is our society getting that coaches get suspended for blowing teams out? This is just sad. As Americans, we’re in a bad place if you can’t even win big without getting in trouble.

Did we win WWII by not running up the score? No, we ran it up as much as we could on the Axis powers. We wanted that blowout victory to be talked about for decades.

Apparently, we’ve lost that spirit in America.

You know how you avoid getting blown out by 88 points? You make the team beating your butt pay for every bucket with their bodies.

Get physical! Get tough! Make driving the paint so hard that they wouldn’t dare do it.

Instead, none of that apparently happened and a winning coach has now been suspended. What a sad state of affairs for America.
