Tutall I have some advice for you.
First of all have fun just like Mick said. I have a varsity game tonight and another one on Friday. You will never, ever have your senior year of high school back so you should really cherish that.
If you get called for a foul then it isn't a blocked shot. It is a foul.
The last thing I want to say is about the spirit of competition. This is something I've seen from some neighbor kids. If you think you are better than the next man quit complaining about it and work hard so your coach has not choice but to put you in the game. So many times kids are getting minutes because they are the social leader when one of their friends is on the bench with more talent but less drive. If you think you can't keep up, work on your speed and you coordination so you can be on the floor. Remember, they are quicker on one end but you are taller on the other end. That is the good part about basketball. They have an advantage that they use for two or three points and then they have to immediately play defense and your team can use your advantage. You should strive to be an asset on D and the advantage on O.
Wow, I'm done now. I really love this game!
