He hemmed and hawed, and said my son was good, and it was really useful for a team to have a good sixth man. Not a comfortable conversation, it didn't tell me anything useful. I don't think I spoke to a coach ever again.

In middle school, I was the sixth man on my basketball team. I am not sure if rules are the same but back then (1979 ish) you had to play a completely different group of 5 players for the 2Q of every game. As the sixth man I lead the second quarter squad. Our coach at the time told the team I want Scott gunning up all the shots in 2Q. From the moment he said that through high school everyone called me Gunner. Thus my name on this site. Now only my Mom and a few HS friends use that nickname. Yeah, this has nothing to do with coaches playing favorites but felt like a good time to share.
