Hoop Dreams 2 post

Well my quote on my book is "damn their financial obligations!This dump isnt good enough for authur Agee.They were lucky to have me. They should pay me to come here." I found this on page 68. I found this interesting because its not fun and games sometimes. You gotta pay off what you need to pay before its too late. I found it interesting how Arthur did work as in clean up the school but i guess its all about money. I think he is going to pay it off and they will give him time for that.

"If you dont get the grades, youre not going to play. If you work hard at the grades and if you work hard at basketball,then I would be able to help you as far as going to college.... I'm makin' a commitment to you if you make a commitment to being a part of this kind of program." - coach pingatore,to Arthur Agee. p 13
Coach Pingatore told this to Arthur to let him now what he is capable of doing but it isnt just him doing it, he needs arthur to do his part as well. I think this quote is special because its kinda not always about basketball even though thats what I thought, but you still really need the grades cause that is a big part of basketball too which I found true in my learning experience. I think that probably Arthur might not  get the grades then later on he will get back on track and be better than he was before on and of the court.
