Coaches

Something that has been a problem to me of late has been the coaches that I have for the sports I play. Our basketball coach is being a really jerk as of late. It seems that since he has obtained the job for head basketball coach, his head has swelled into a big fat balloon. I don't like him very much anyway. It seems as if my hair prevents me from playing good basketball. His rule for hair is that it has to be above the eyebrows and above the collar. This angers me. Last year, the rule was that the hair had to be above the collar. I had gotten away with putting it in a ponytail. Now, Spurgeon has to be a Nazi and put the “above the eyebrow” rule in. His excuse for this is because it makes the team look bad. My argument with that is how about when Kellan Arick blows up on a referee when he doesn't get his way with a call. Or how about when Donny Crawford elbows someone in the face on purpose. What does that show? I guess my hard work and effort is cancelled out because of my preference for long hair. It seems as if that I can't play as well as the stars of the team because of my hair length. That’s awkward because it seems to me that I was one of the leading scorers and I probably had the best free throw percentage. I had to be a good player for the fact that I started just about every game. So, my question to coach Spurgeon is why he would incorporate this rule. If I can play just as hard as the “stars” then what is the problem. Well, I’m done for now.
