Source?St Joseph girls team is without a coach after administrative pressure over margin of victory ultimately led to coaches resignation. The team is scheduled to play later today as well as 3 other games over MLK weekend.
Poor scheduling for sure, that goes without saying. But I have witnessed games with scores like this when coaches didn't press the whole game, didn't trap, subbed liberally to the end of the bench, and didn't even fast break for much of the game. There was nothing for those coaches to do (besides let the other team score and/or not let their kids try at all on offense) in order to make a score look better.87 to 3 and 91 to 4 ? Excuse me!?

So until I hear more of the story I'm not going to pass judgement on a score.
Only in the 4thI thought the clock is supposed to run once a 40 point lead is established. How do you add another 40-50 points after that without pressing?
I just assumed as they played that game on 12/6. But upon closer examination of maxpreps, it is indeed listed as a league game, as was Redwood Christian. Certainly not the coaches fault for thatit's not poor scheduling. SJND was forced to join the BCL after leagues realigned. so here you have a good basketball program playing against below average D5 schools. they have no control about the league schedule unless this was a non-league game.

There’s got to be more to the story......
Too good of a program for this to happen.
I do know that years ago before the league changes it was debated if St Joes should go with Berkeley, Odowd, etc because they didn’t want to remain in league with Salesian and SMB........but whoever placed them in that league made a bad decision.
how is that league in other sports? Boys basketball, baseball, etc

A really awful situation and hard to judge without knowing what happened; though I will say from what I've seen Coach Hip looked like a good coach to me. That said, I hope Pete Mastora or someone like that takes over, those kids are talented and have worked really hard for where they have gotten to, would be an absolute tragedy if their season goes for a toss.
Not sure if this is the same administrator that Craig was referring to but.... after some google searching it looks like the interim principal as of July is Julianne Guevara who by looking at linkedin I believe is formerly Julianne Berry. She used to be the coach at SJND and was the 2011 Cal Hi coach of the year for D5... anyone know how her tenure ended as coach?
Fwiw, box scores from the two annihilations suggest that SJND did let up in the second half in both games. Rdwd Christian (69-2 first half, 22-2 second); College Prep (58-2, 29-1).
I won't judge having not seen the games, but if the administrator warned about margin of victory, shouldn't that warning have been heeded?
Well that could be a key right there.. what's her agenda? Who does she want as the coach? Is she jealous of success that hipp has been able to accomplish that she never could?This is the one
I imagine it's because both SM and Salesian were National powers at the time. Things have evened up some since thenwhy wouldn't st joe's want to be in a league with salesian or smb??
I am a little confused. From what I heard St Joes went independent for at least girls basketball. Wouldn’t that mean they would not have to play league opponents if the league opponent did not want to play them? If they were not independent why not? This would seem like a text book example for why schools go the independent route..

This just took an interesting turn..
