When a coach tells me a player's "not available", I don't give him the third degree (injured, sick, toothache, punished, grade problems, discipline problems, forgot shoe inserts, forgot glasses, forgot contact lenses, forgot knee brace, accidentally grabbed brother's sneakers that don't fit, flagrant technical in previous game, mouthed off to officials in last game, or this game, just found out his girlfriend left him, or is pregnant, his Aunt Emma, whom he never met, just died, just found out that he didn't get into Harvard, etc.). Stuff like that is way above my pay grade, so I just take him at his word ("not available") and move on.
I like this (below):
