My point was that Richard said that a 6A coach said that Manhattan choked by taking 2nd. This led me to think that coach must have coached the championship team because he thinks that 2nd place is choking. Otherwise if this coaches team took anything worse that first place then his team choked also.
I don't suppose it was someone wanting to see "The Hat" get the title over Aquinas and was upset because they didn't. I can't see any coach on Aquinas saying or thinking that. Not when they were fighting so hard to get the title.

Above all, do you really think another coach told Richard that Manhatten choked? Or is Richard saying this because he's trying to lend credit to something he believes? So before it gets around that Aquinas coache(s) are bad mouthing Manhatten due to your belief it was them. Let's consider the source(s) here.
