...assistant at Cincinnati before moving up to the top job. Jucker, 45, is a master of such complicated tactics as the Backdoor Trap and the Swing-and-Go, plays designed to spring a Cincinnati player, all alone, under the enemy basket. He dotes on "the science of percentage basketball, " computes the mathematical odds on the success of every maneuver he orders the Bearcats to make on court. Methodical on offense, Cincinnati concentrates on ball control, passing the ball back and forth, patiently waiting for an enemy defense to make the error that will leave a Bearcat player open...

Griffin tries to explain how it is to live in a ghetto--that Negro parents are as anxious about their children as white parents, or more so; but that Negroes are caught in a vicious trap where no act is private, and where the only escape is violent pleasure. But the driver remains unconvinced. He cannot be persuaded that his passenger could in any way resemble himself.
