Things like the girls 100-0 happen much more than is publicized. I personally witnessed a 104-4 girls game about 15 years ago. No excuse for it, really. I coached a game in which the other team was so bad we had 40 before the other team had even taken a shot and we only won by 55. You can do all sort of things to keep the margin down without even being insulting to the other team.

We have a mercy rule in Headliners league, if your team is up by 15 you can't do a full court press. This is enforced by having the girls all "stay in the paint" on defence.
With our entire team in the paint we block almost every shot and get almost every rebound. It seems counterproductive to me.
