“Learning
to interpret the constant string of lies and excuses fed to you from
kids terrified of failure but careening towards it anyway is boot
camp for behavioral interpretation. My guys didn’t know who the hell
they were but they were angry, addled and belligerent, so half the
time I was screaming at them and the rest of the time I was holding
their trembling little hands.”

From “To the Metal”, a Coach Mack mystery. Yes! A Junior High football coach turned detective! The time has come!
