Chapter 1

On his way to <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Symbols & Motifs" href="https://www.supersummary.com/foul-trouble/symbols-and-motifs/#661444">basketball</a> summer camp with his best friend Terrell, <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/foul-trouble/major-character-analysis/#661435">Danny Wilcox</a> reflects that his school’s basketball team has changed since Terrell moved to town. Terrell is unstoppable on the court, and as a result, he receives multiple offers from colleges around the United States. Danny has gotten caught in the trickle-down effect and is now courted by schools because representatives hope that Terrell will choose to go to school wherever Danny goes. While Danny tries to keep a clear head, the attention affects Terrell, who questions his coach (<a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/foul-trouble/major-character-analysis/#661437">Danny’s dad</a>) about all the schools and brands that want his attention. Danny’s dad admits that there is a lot of potential in such offers for Terrell, Danny, and himself. However, he stresses that the attention-seekers only care about Terrell’s performance on the basketball court, not about Terrell himself. Danny’s dad warns the boys, saying, “We all have to be careful” (8).
