Don't Put Me In, Coach

This week, one of the students in my class presented a project on a memoir called "Don't Put Me In, Coach" written by Mark Titus. Mark Titus was a college athlete that "played" basketball for Ohio State University. The reason why I put the word "played" in parenthesis is because the only position he played for this basketball team was warming the bench. Mark Titus walked on to the college basketball team and since his freshman year the number of times he has been put into the game could be counted on one hand. Although Titus barely ever played, all he was always loved by fans, teammates, and coaches and was often referred to as a big part of the team. Titus always played a huge role in motivating and getting the team pumped up so this really showed that even though he barely ever played he was still a huge part of the team. I am definitely looking forward to reading this book for a couple reasons. First of all I love college basketball and everything about it, and second of all the book sounds absolutely hilarious. These reasons together make the book seem like a great read, and I am very excited to read this memoir when I get the chance.
