When exactly should the better players stop scoring? I tend to defer to the coaches on how to handle things from a sportmanship standpoint - when to stop scoring or sub certain players out.

Wow,again just complete uneducated non sense. First off your exaggeration of kids training 4-5 hours a day in women's lacrosse shows you are either clueless or prone to hysteria. Its not on occasion for certain teams and players. You find it hard not to care much, would you care if some kids gets hurt when the opposing team has a player who retaliates for the embarrassment. Maybe those Elite teams should play harder schedules. You have alot more faith in these coaches who actually have contracts that pay them more per player who receive certain accolades thus encouraging then to let players run up their stats and schedule blow out games .

4-5 hours absolutely not an exaggeration if you include conditioning. Not sure how much you think they train.
