What does learning disabilities have to do with basketball? How are they being set up for failure? Bob "Butterbean" Love couldn't even read and had a severe stuttering problem and became one NBA's greatest players.

Granted, I wouldn't have put the full court press on a team that can't put the ball in the basket. There is no need unless the winning team had the intent of blanking them. I probably would have pulled all of my starters before the end of the first half and played my scrubs.
