Given that it's a youth league, I agree with suspensions... but it's tough to criticize a coach in an elite division for taking advantage of a broken system. He created a strategy that was within the rules of the game and benefited them in the long run. It wasn't ethical, but it wasn't illegal.

If they coached at the pro level, they'd probably receive contract extensions.

starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

Why didn't the other team just score 3 goals and give up like the ones that threw the game? All they had to do was not outscore the other team by 5 and it would have wrecked their whole plan.
