Penni -- <<We are now on this jerk's team.>> Uh-uh. You got it wrong, and with that attitude you will continue to get it wrong. Ammo and that jerk's kid (poor kid!) are on their own team; the jerk owns only his boorishness. As a former Little League coach I know about these things. Congrats and best of luck to Ammo!

Lookit the bright side - the jerk's son is probably a decent sort, and as is wont of adolescents through time, is mortally embarrassed by the cruel fact that he even has a dad. If that won't help, you have an Uzi in an ankle holster: the other kid is now on Ammo's team. (He will not learn.)

[Ammo 1, Ammo 1, this is Zombie 3, hey dude! Listen up, I'm just a fictional character on the Internet, but I wanted to tell you how good it made me feel to hear about your recent basketball wins. Now you get to play a big game. Probably not the biggest game you'll ever play, but maybe the biggest one so far. Team sports are interesting, Ammo. If things go right, you get to play with some other people that are as good as, or better than you are at some stuff, and at the same time, you are better at some stuff than any of them. You probably already know most of this, but the hardest parts for me to learn were: 1. There's no such thing as luck. Luck is practicing harder than anyone else and knowing more about your opponent than he knows about you. Then THEY have to get lucky. 2. Everyone's got weak spots. With your teammates, concentrate on the strong spots. Find what you like about your teammates and pay attention to that. Paying too much attention to other people's weak spots makes you weak. 3. The coach is smart, but he's not on the court. 4. If somebody is trying to upset you, he's acting from fear. (You don't need to let him know that you know it.) 5. If somebody breaks the rules on purpose, he's acting from weakness. 7. If someone holds a grudge for something, he probably did the same thing himself. 8. If you don't know what to do in practice, ask the coach. If you don't know what to do in a game, you're in trouble, but still ask the coach. 9. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how many points you win by. 10. It's a GAME. Tomorrow's another game, so stay Fonzie, dude. This is Zombie 3, for Zombie 2, Zombie 5, and Zombie 1, and all other fictional characters everywhere, saying: play hard and win, Ammo! Over.]
