Ethics: After th eloss against Juanita, Luke comes to Nick to cheer him up, and tries to give him advice. Luke thinks that Nick is being a ball hog, and should pass more, but nick immediatly explodes and is furious. They end up in an arguement, and don't talk to each other.
              "...it seems like your trying to do everything yourself when you're out there. You've got to remember you've got teammates who can score, too."
          When Nick overreacts over this comment, its because his ethcs were attacked; that only he can score. But even though its attacking his ethics, it doesn't mean he's right either.

Patterns: MAny times throughout the story Nick's dad has always paid attention to only Nick, and Scott has taken notice of it. All the time, Nick's dad would call him about basketball, while he would never even talk to Scott.
              "Was that dad?"
              " Yeah."
              "I knew he'd call once he saw your name in the paper."
               THis shows Scott's notice to Nick's basketball, and only the fact that he's playing basket ball thathe gets attention.
