This time, the coach frowned deeply. "Accepting gifts like this is a clear violation of your contract. Alex should have known better than to give you the tickets."
"Wait what are you saying? The guy didn't even know who I was when he gave me the tickets initially!" Ken shot to his feet, slamming the table in the process. This was absolutely absurd.
Coach Brown shook his head, "That may be the case, but I'm afraid that changes nothing. You should have paid for the tickets, or at least reported the situation to me afterwards. If we got on the front foot earlier, things would have been more manageable.
"So what are you saying? What happens now?"
"While the investigation is ongoing, you'll be ineligible to play any games." The coach stated, his expression showing regret.
"You can't be serious right?" Ken replied incredulously.
