Hoop Dreams homework question:

Recruiting in basketball is completely cutthroat, even at the high school level, as depicted by the head coach giving a scholarship to the better player, while letting the lesser player be kicked out of school.

1.  Why do you think this atrocity is allowed, and do you think it is possible for this process to be changed?
2.  Do you think high schools or Division 1 universities should have a policy that does not let unqualified students attend their respective schools, no matter how exceptional they are in terms of athletic ability?
3.  Do you think that Curtis' experiences as a highly touted high school basketball player helps or hurts Arthur? (pp.92-93)
4.  Do you think that St Joseph is too harsh on William and Arthur, as they make them mop the floors each to day to help them make up for their lack of tuition payments?
5.  Why do you think Big Earl disappears when Arthur does not make the varsity team?
6.
