I had pretty good coaches and was a super try hard (mostly because I wasn’t very good) so I didn’t draw the coaches ire too much. One time I remember a coach saying “are dumb or just plain stupid?” I don’t even remember what I said but he apologized a few minutes later and said “the right answer is ‘neither coach’”.
There were a few that pissed me off, though, even though they were nothing. We had a kid that was 6’9 on our basketball team and at 6’3 it was a pretty tough ask for me to guard him, because he was a respectable athlete and could play. So naturally I just beat the bejesus out of him because we weighed about the same. So one time a shot went up and we were both right in front of the basket. Knowing I’m completely ****ed on the defensive rebound I put a body on him and rode him way out past the free throw line. Wouldn’t you know it, long ****ing rebound. I held the blockout, released perfectly and jumped as high as I could, and I see this gangly ****ing arm reach over me and get it. I got some comment from my coach. Come on Buehler or something. Got I was pissed. I didn’t say shit then, but now I’d be like “wtf am I supposed to do? If I ride him past the 3 point line it’s a foul. Hell what I did was probably a foul.” God I was pissed. Poor basrard paid for it though, I took it all out on him.
