Hear, hear! Nothing worse than a blowout, no matter which end you're on. Those games are like watching paint dry. Painful paint because it's not easy to watch.

What I've been selling for years (and no one is buying) is to have the girls play their non-dominant hand (everyone needs work on that), and/or switch up the offense and the defense (go ahead, see how the other half lives). That way the winning team is still working and the playing field becomes more level. You can always revert back to your starting lineup and positions if the game gets too close for comfort.
