Coach Mike was excited to hear this, he was worried that this time his team could really miss this national championship final, and without Jake next year would be even harder.
But at that moment Jake came up saying that he had a solution to the team problem, Jake was certainly the player Coach Mike trusted the most, and Jake wasn't a joker either when he knew the problems the team faced.
So Mike knew that if Jake said he had a solution, it must be something Jake had thought about several times before talking to him.
"If you have a solution to this situation that can help the team you can tell me."
"I was thinking about the next game taking on Mark's role in defense, in the offense I would still play as usual, but in defense, I would play as Center and defend in addition to fighting for rebounds."
"Do you think you can do that, Jake?"
