Well, if we were to judge this program and its coach from previous history instead of trying to take a general potshot at the school, then you would know the basketball program hasn't had those kind of disciplinary issues while also winning quite a few games. So actually, the basketball coach has had quite a bit more control.

I could see East going 0-2 to start out in SOC standings after this game on Friday. Gilliland just had a 30 point game last week in one of their first games of the year and King had 29 points this last Saturday against Manchester.
What team/coach in their right mind would "try" to commit as many fouls as possible? I'm sure the Tartans want to win this game, and committing a lot of fouls isn't exactly a proven recipe for success. Clay has been very good and the teams have split the past two seasons with each holding their home court, so you're not exactly going out on a limb that East "could" start out 0-2 in league play. Gilliland and King are both excellent players capable of high scoring nights, but the opponents were Northwest and Manchester...not exactly teams who have been on the Tartans' level.
