Hypothetical huddle conversation after the end of regulation.
Coach Z: Well guys, that was a great fourth quarter comeback. But remember -- we're trying to lose. The refs are doing their part -- you need to do yours.
[Player name redacted]: But Coach, doesn't that make us sort of... like... a disgrace to the game?
Coach Z: Do as you're told! If you don't, I'll put Tamika back in and make sure we lose!
Mission Accomplished.
