My losing season

I had my hands on my knees when I saw [John DeBrosse] make his move. Because of his fatigue, [Johnny Moates] was incautious as he dribbled. He was bouncing the ball too high when DeBrosse stuck a hand in and swiped it clean. DeBrosse broke for our basket, and Moates, embarrassed and spent, did not even give pursuit. I took one step out of instinct, then stopped out of exhaustion and lack of character. I stood on Richmond's foul line and watched DeBrosse's triumphant flight down the court.
