Some things are just infuriating to watch. This video, featuring Connell High School (I don’t know what their mascot name is, but I assume “Thugs” – no wait, it’s “Eagles” apparently) against Highland High School (in Washington) is one of them.
The Connell players, particularly #34, as you’ll see in this video, make a mockery of the sport of basketball. Many of these plays of reputed “defence” wouldn’t even have a place on a football field, due to the danger they put the offensive players in.
What I find particularly amazing and galling, is that not one technical/flagrant/unsportsmanlike foul is called in this game, nor does a Highland coach run on the court and strangle the referees at any point in frustration. As you’ll see, things get dangerous.
