I think it's a little over cynical to call this a "rare" act. Rare, perhaps, in the sense that it's a pretty unlikely scenario to arise again any time soon. But, and I'm pretty damned cynical, I would imagine that just about any other group of people put in the situation would have responded the same way.

Except perhaps for the Covenant School. Although they would probably feel bad about it the next day.

Well, yeah, but they're girls, so that's expected.

If fairness to the coach, the spread was 98, the over/under was 99, and he had a bet down.

Things like this happen much more often than is publicized, but it's still cool.

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.
