Column rips high-profile high school basketball coach

Yates High School in Houston looks like the best boys basketball team in Texas, maybe the country. The No. 2 team according to USA Today, Yates puts up 100-plus points sometimes by halftime. Often, it comes at the expense of belittling the opponent.

ESPN.com's Rick Riley wrote this unflattering piece on Yates and its head coach Greg Wise.

For good reason too. That is uncalled for.

Normally, I am of the mindset that instead of complaining about a team running up the score do something to stop them (usually). However, this is ridiculous. This guy should be asked to step down. The only thing you can hope is that they get beat in the state tournament. Maybe one of these high schools should have Coach Knight come in and teach them how to completely dismantle a press defense...
