I saw this earlier today and thought about posting it.
And you're oh so wrong:

I think she meant that a men's team would never have apologized for winning by a large margin, not that they wouldn't have been able to do so. |

Exactly that.
I mean, I agree that it was poor form to try to whip them so badly (Full court press? Really?), but when all is said and done, you can't wimp out and cry about it. |

Look if your school only has 20 people and 8 of them are on your "varsity" basketball team, chances are that team just isn't going to be so good. |

At least based on that article, it's not an all-girls school; that article implies that the school has 20 girls and an unspecified number of boys.
Also, some places it's theoretically illegal to discriminate based on sex when hiring. |

I understand all of that, but I stand by my original post.
Also that school is terrible. |

Maybe it's because you need at least one person on your team not wearing a plaid skirt? |
