When writing an essay, you are allowed to take 'poetic license', ie., you can tell lies - or at least exaggerate the truth.

Try this: As the Coach ranted and raved at me in front of the rest of the team, I bowed my head and accepted his criticism knowing full well that it was not me, but my best friend and team mate who had made the throw. I honestly thought that the Coach was about to hit me.

Suddenly, a hand was laid on my shoulder and the voice of my friend rang out. 'That's it Coach, enough is enough. It was me who threw that horrible pass, not Primetime. Everything you have just said refers to me. I accept what you say, but never ever speak to my best friend like that again'. He then struck out with his fist and hit the Coach squarely on the jaw.

That was the end of both our College Basketball careers, but for the sake of the friendship we renewed, it was truly worth it.......

hmm... probably would generalize the topic as a whole again..restate the fact that people make mistakes, and as a person in authoritative role such as a coach has MORE responsibility to make sure he is making good decisions as well as able to admit that he makes mistakes. the key is communication, and although he thought you were making the bad pass, it would've been more constructive to 1) figure out a way to discipline the player w/o embarrasing him in front of everyone, and 2) apologize to you for mistaking you for someone else. if those two things do not happen, it makes it harder for you, and eventually the team as a whole, to respect the coach in general. good luck~ :)

I told him that it wasn't me, but he didn't believe me. In the end he took me out of the game, maybe that was a good thing because we won!--
The yelling wasn't the worst part, it was the feeling in my head that because of that pass, and because it looked like i passed it we were going to loose. I sat the bench for the 3rd quarter, than the coach decided to let me play again.--

relate it to a lesson learned like not jumping to conclusions. Or you could make it where you took the heat for your teammate for some noble reason.
