“Jojo we need you! Or we won’t win this game. So get your attitude together!” yelled coach. Jojo got more angry as the coach that he does not like or trust keeps nagging at him and begging him to do something that he knows the coach only wants for himself.  “I don't have an attitude coach! And if i did you would be the reason because you keep talking to me! Stop talking to me!”. As the game went on Jojo and coach didn’t talk to each other or even make eye contact. That game he ended up having 32 points but that was how many points he averaged a game the whole season so that was expected of him. But one thing he didn’t do was lead his team to a win. And that was the team’s third loss in a row. What was leading to this was the relationship between Jojo and his coach.
    “Jojo what’s wrong with you? You haven’t been acting the same lately. Making bad passes, taking bad shots. Are you okay?” his mom said sounding concerned. “ I’m good mom, I just…” said Jojo not able to finish his sentence. “You just what joseph?” said mom. “ I can’t get over what happened between me and coach.” said Jojo angrily. “Joseph that was two years ago! It’s okay. Don’t let this take away what you got going on in your future. And especially don’t let this get to how you are playing in your games in front of all those division one scouts!”

Jojo walked in the gym, put on his practice jersey then grabbed a ball and noticed that everybody already started practicing and the team was scrimmaging which they usually do at the end of practice. “Coach were scrimmaging already?” said Jojo looking confused. Coach giving Jojo a tensely stare. “No Jojo you are a hour late we are about to end practice.”  Jojo’s face turning red and looking confused.”I can’t do this anymore” said Jojo as he stormed out the gym. Knowing he had a big game in less than three hours and his favorite what he called his dream college was going to be there. Later that night he had the game of his life. He had 56 points 12 rebounds and 9 assists. But there was still a problem. The scout who was there didn't even come to him after the game or speak to him he just left. Which was kind of weird because Jojo talked to scouts on a regular even after games when he didn't play all that well. After the game his coach came up to him. “Great game I’m proud of you.” Said coach. “Thanks.” Jojo saying very dry. As coach walked away Jojo stopped him and asked “Coach why do you think he didn't talk to me? Did I do something wrong?”. Coach looking suspicious. “I told him about you.” Coach said. “Told him about me?!! What was it to say.” Jojo said angrily looking confused. “I told him how you never listen to me and is always late to practice and you aren't disciplined.”. Jojo didn't say anything he just stormed out the locker room.
