Quote #10
"Why are you doing this, Coach?" I ask. "Why you benching me?"
"You know my rules," Coach says. "Seventy-five to take the floor."
"But I need to play. I need my minutes."
"Look, Duncan. I'm not in control of that. You are. Kick up your grades and I'll play you." (30.16-19)
Dominique's coach chooses to set high standards for her players, and she doesn't bend. If she bends the rules for Dominique, other players might expect her to do the same. But, then, if she had bent the rules for Dominique, maybe Dominique wouldn't have gotten as mad at Trina as she did. There's no way to know for sure.
