You walk into a gym to do a regular season high school basketball game. Who, in your mind, are you working for? (not legally, but philosophically)? Pick the top three choices...the three least likely choices:
1) The Conference
2) The Coaches
3) Your Local Association
4) Yourself
5) The Fans
6) The Schools
7) Your State Association
8) The Players
9) Your Crew
10) The Sport
11) Your Assigner
12) The Media
NOTE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ANSWERS FOR EACH QUESTION.
