When I was eight, I was the point guard for the Immaculate Conception Cougars. When I was nine, I played the two (shooting guard) for Beth Shalom synagogue. When I was ten and a few inches taller, I played power forward for the Penn Valley United Methodist church. When I was eleven, I centered a scrappy and surprisingly sprightly team for the Penn Valley Zendo.15 When I was twelve, Neal and Cassandra finished their religious studies. And thus came to an end both my basketball career and my game of theological musical chairs. If they had ever asked me, I would have told them I wanted to keep on playing. I was also rather enjoying my unorthodox religious journey. But alas, they never asked. The point is, I know basketball. I know a zone defense, the importance of the pressure on the ball, how to block passing lanes, and why it’s important for the point guard to penetrate on offense. What I witnessed in the gym this afternoon was hardly basketball.
