fandomhigh | Basketball - 6th Period

Lily and her guitar were absent from class today and instead there was a Marshall standing in the middle of the basketball court with a whistle around his neck and a basketball in his hand. If anybody was used to seeing Marshall they might be weirded out by the serious business look he was sporting today. Unlike beach play, basketball was serious business.

"Hello, everyone. For those of you don't know me, I'm Marshall Eriksen, Ms. Aldrin's husband. She's not able to teach class today so I'm substituting. I'm not exactly sure what you're all doing in here but I imagine it involves guitar playing and hand holding." He so did not agree with Lily's way of coaching. "That is not my coaching style. You signed up for a basketball class and we're going to work so the next time you play basketball you can kick some serious ass. Winning's important!"

"Since we don't have enough for a really good game, we're just going to train so you're in good shape for the next game you play. First half of the class you're going to run in circles around the gym. Running. No walking. Then I want you all to practice dribbling while running," Marshall said. "You're going to get tired and you're going to get thirsty but like Kanye West says: Th-th-th-that don't kill you will only make you stronger."

Kanye also said if you ain't no punk you should holla we want pre-nup, we want pre-nup, yeah. So Marshall didn't exactly subscribe to everything the man said.

Marshall sort of stared at everyone before frowning and launching the basketball at Riggins' head. "What are you doing? Get running!"

Luckily Riggins was paying enough attention to catch the damn thing before it knocked his lights out.

Marshall blew the whistle. "RIGGINS! WE'RE RUNNING, NOT SHOOTING!"

Riggins raised an eyebrow. "You threw the ball at me."

"IT WAS FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT! NOW DROP THE BALL AND GET RUNNING!" Marshall blew the whistle again. "ALL OF YOU! RUN! RUN! RUN!"

Like you are SERIOUS BUSINESS about basketball.

Tim Riggins

Adora

Hannibal King

Yakko Warner

Thank Zefron that Riggins had good reflexes.

Mr. Eriksen had taken on a seemingly different persona for class today, but Adora had to admit that his tactics were much more like the books she'd read than Ms. Aldrin's.

It was still rather worrisome.

Riggins actually liked this kind of coaching so, god help him, he was actually in a pretty good mood despite the fact that Marshall almost knocked his block off.

After his shitty weekend, Hannibal was almost thankful for something to take his mind off things. He could deal with a yelling teacher and running.

Yakko held a soccer ball while Marshall was talking. He wasn't doing anything with it. He was just holding it.

And, oh, you better not fall. YOU BETTER NOT FALL.

Adora would not fall. She would, however, run as fast as her long legs would go.

Someone should introduce her to the sports bra. Ow.

Riggins started running. The chances of him falling were pretty unlikely.

And since he was Riggins the shirt came off early on.

Hannibal started running. Easy enough even with Marshall screaming at them. It wasn't like running was that hard.

You know those tiny little cars Shriners drove? Yakko was in one of those. And it seemed to be stalled, so he was on the phone with AAA. All this instead of running.

You may talk so long as you run and dribble at the same time omg.

After spending some time running, Hannibal grabbed a basketball and started running and dribbling, careful to keep the ball close to him. No need to incur Professor Eriksen's wrath.

Yakko found it difficult to talk with all of the water running out of his mouth and down his chin. But he was trying anyway.

"Blugh glugh glug glur blugh," he said as he moseyed along.

Throw a chair at him. Wait. No. Don't do that.

Blame Pard and Natalie omg.

This is why Marshall will never teach a gym class.

Dude, Marshall is meaner than Ronon. He might take back what he said about the girlish scream.

OMG YAY COACH ERIKSEN!!!!
