I went to a large Catholic high school for a year in Florida. The basketball coach was a very nice guy. Christian in a good sense, I'd say. But he had this idea that I'd be on the varsity basketball team. In my wheelchair. With all able-bodied players.
Interesting. However, if the rules of the game were not changed at all, I'd be ramming people and hurting them in my wheelchair. If, however, the rules were changed---maybe that I would be required a free throw every 2 minutes of the game, wel, then, that just changes the rules of the game.
It's much more satisfying to play sports with other disabled athletes (unless it's a wheelchair division of a 5K, for instance, where wheelers and able-bodies can be scored seperately within the same race, as men and women are).
