A junior-high basketball game was underway in the school's gymnasium. Rock stood outside with the coach of the home team and listened to him fret. The score was tied 10-10, and neither team had made a field goal.
"I don't know what to do," the coach said. "Our guys can't make a shot."
Rock knew a lot about both teams, even though he had never seen either play.
"Your guys like to shoot," he said. "They particularly like to shoot from the outside, but in a game like this, you probably want them going inside."
"That's what we should do, yes. We're making our free throws, but that's not what got us here."
Rock smiled.
"Well, coach, this is why you get paid so much."
