Carl's Great Chance

Our coaches really had a lot of confidence in our varsity basketball bench. When Coach Kregel would put me into a game, he would say, "Mohr, under no conditions should you take a shot. DO NOT TAKE A SHOT!" One time, when we were beating Milton by 25 points with five seconds left in the game, I said to myself, "Now's your time. I'm going to take a shot." I took it. Of course, I missed and Coach yanked me out of the game, shouting “Mohr, what the [expletive deleted] are you trying to do...lose the game?"
