Chapter 4 Rebellion

Coach Dan FitzGerald was a man of legendary character, and one of the most interesting people I've ever met. He always brought his wealth of knowledge and irrepressible Irish personality to the court, never stopping talking, even when he was driving... When he drove, he would constantly look back at the backseat and gesture, rather than watching the road.

I think the coach drove by braille, using his ears to listen for horns and relying on the road's tactile cues to keep the car in the right lane... When I first arrived at school, I heard one of the "Fitz Quotes" at the training ground, "The best thing about a freshman is that they become sophomores!" However, Fitz didn't say this when Gan first walked onto the training court.
