It's Only a Game: Oh Yeah! Bill Prentiss

It's not just a game for interim manager Bo Fromhart who pits a career of frustration against a boss whose career dream hinges on his failure. Paul Dirkson, general manager of the new New Orleans Pelicans can take over the business empire of his father-in-law and team owner if he can unload a huge gambling debt by somehow manipulatating anything but a top finish for the Pelicans in their division. It appears a no-brainer. The team lost 101 games the previous year, but Dirkson is forced into desperate moves when Bo comes up with new talent and a resurgence of some old pros.
