In front of the gym door

What s up Cruz

I don t know This note says that practice has been canceled and the coach is waiting in the school library The library I don t even know where the library is

In the school library

Gentlemen in this hand I have the contracts you signed In this hand I have academic progress reports from your teachers The gym will stay locked until we all satisfy the terms of this contract

But why We re undefeated and we won the tournament Didn t you want us to win

That s not the point What s more important than winning is respecting the rules and taking responsibility for your behavior If you don t realize that you ll never succeed or even adjust to the real world I believe honoring this contract is the first step for you to take responsibility in your life Now I want you to go home look at your lives tonight and ask yourself Do I want a better life If the answer is yes then I promise you I will do everything in my power to get you to a better life The athletes are deep in thought
