Bizarre game involving U of I 2010 recruit Jereme Richmond

[Da Coach]

He scored 47 of his team's 49 points and had 20 rebounds in a loss to Ida Crown high school. His team was missing the other 4 starters due to illness and injury.

But the real story is that the report of the game suggests that the other team intentionally tried to "rough up" Richmond, and their fans taunted him--

OK, OK, I guess the obvious question MUST be asked.

Jereme's team has all the starters out with illness.
His team is losing by 25 points, and things are getting ugly.

Then what the H*E*L*L is his coach leaving him in there so he can get 47 points and 20 rebounds?

You have to wonder if Jereme's coach is a real nut case?
Why does he have his superstar in at the end of a 25 point blowout?

I didn't know George Karl was pulling double duty...
