  Case: Basketball Team
When the high school principal first offered me the job, he said that my main role would be coaching the basketball team. He told me that his school's basketball team had not been doing well, and this year was the first year in a long time that the team has a collection of very good players. He said multiple times that he wanted championship at least at the county level. I had coached basketball teams before and enjoyed many championships. My first meeting went very well with the players; it was a nice group of students from variety of backgrounds. Players worked very hard in the practice meetings. Two weeks before the matches began the team players found out that one of their teammates, David, was gay. They immediately started isolating David in the practice games. The team sent a representative to tell me that they did not want David in the team and that if he is not removed, they would sabotage the games. David was one of my best players, and without him it would be very difficult to win the championship. Plus, I thought it was unfair to David that he would have to leave the team because he was gay. I did not have a problem with him being gay. Things got more complicated for me when the principal asked me to remove David from the team. I disagree with the principal, but I do not know what to do. Please offer a solution with a justification.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No true solution. if the kid is good enough to make the team allow to play on the team, if the principal doesnt allow that tell him you cant coach the team anymore
