J.J. Culver’s 100-point sportsmanship killer could have been stopped

It has been right there for the borrowing since 1982. And it’s free, no strings.

It’s called the Coach Feldman Plan. It should have been used last week by the coach of 0-12 Southwest Adventist College in its 124-60 loss at 8-1 Wayland Baptist, the game that made national news because of the 100 points scored by J.J. Culver. He did so in 38 minutes on 62 field-goal attempts, including 33 3-pointers in the slaughter.

But high school and college record books are loaded with ill-gotten achievements as urged by just-don’t-get-it adult coaches.

The Feldman Plan was the sudden idea of Mel Feldman — a slow-to-anger, thoughtful, kids-first gym teacher and girls basketball coach at Fallsburg High School in the Catskills.
