Which is also the reason why it’s the least effective chapter because the ending of the sections of the chapter don’t lead you into the next section and that the section itself are full with unorganized information that was just put there for you to read. For an example the first section talks about how the guy is going to coach the team. Describe the players and the lack of skills they have in basketball. How he admires the game itself and then telling how they made it into the champion ships. This section in the chapter just went from topic to topic with barely any explation so it gets kind of hard when you’re trying to figure out the point of the section.

Because basketball at this level and many other levels is a “shoe dollar” business and 100% player oriented, teams and coaches are stuck chasing after teenage players when things go astray resulting in single minded players only concerned about themselves and their own future. Players of this genre, willing to sign away the representation of their own brand, themselves, are not found on the Hoop Masters’ hardwood. Not because the players at Hoop Masters don’t have enough talent or aren’t stereotypical Division 1 players, but because, these players have a true love and passion for the game, which has been instilled in them since working with Coach Fischer. It is through this passion that keeps Hoop Masers afloat, which is why John Fischer has never succumbed to the temptation of shoe dollars and never will.
