  1. I agree, coach Dale wanted them to learn to obey him. Coach Dale was trying to teach them about life. When coach Dale purposely got kicked out of the game so Shooter could coach. I think that he was trying to teach him to be courageous and to step up for his son and carry them through.

  2. I agree because he proved his point, and made them work as a team so one individual didn't stand out. They also wouldn't make the same mistake twice. It made them trust and respect the coach. They were taught teamwork, especially in the scene were Ollie turned over the ball twice in a row, and they weren't mean to him and they had to work together to accomplish what they did.

  3. I agree because if you don't want to do what the Coach said and not follow instructions you shouldn't be on the team. They also needed that because they were lacking respect and had too much confidence.

  4. W agree because when you are told to do something you are expected respect the decision and follow through. You are not the coach you are the player and you have to respect you coach's decision.
