When George, James, Phil, Tom and Coach Delaney were younger, they basked in the glory that a high school basketball championship granted them. Now that they are men, the idea of winning-and-losing has become harder for these five former classmates to define. They have become, respectively: an embattled mayor; a high school principal; a shifty businessman; a souse writer; and an aging and possibly ill retired coach.

Some have abused drugs or drink; others have profited from unethical money deals; and one has even had sex with one of the other men's wives. [More]
