Back in the day, my youngest brother, by 4 years, came down for a football game with my cousin (4 years my elder). When they sat down to catch their breath, my brother, a senior and 3 year player for his high school, told me he was cut from the basketball team. I was speechless. I don't remember what the reason was, but I do remember that the team was really senior-heavy that year. I just rationalized that the coach wanted, needed, to get some underclassmen on the team for development purposes. But then I also remember that the there were no underclassmen that were better than my brother. They called him Jerry West for gosh sakes!
