Today, I was sent a video excerpt from a CBS news broadcast. I’m not going to post it because I’m 99.44% certain I’d be violating copyright to do so. However, you can read about the feel-good story by clicking any of the links here at Google.
It is the story from February, 2006, of an autistic high school student who gets his chance to shine in the last basketball game of the year.
He even got to meet the president tuesday. http://www.9wsyr.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=b7d004fe-a0f3-4941-ae53-27b103d2a0de&rss=112
I thought this was a great story except for one nagging question: If he was good enough to get 20 points in 3 minutes, It seems like the coach should be fired for not putting him in until the last game of the season.
I was wondering that myself. I didn’t dig too deeply, but I’m curious just how good this other team was. It seemed from the video I saw that the shots he was making were easily blocked, so maybe they were going easy… Who knows.
