I figured. Actually, during lunch I saw 2 more episodes -- and I realized that I watched SEVEN episodes last night -- and it seems as if it's starting to get a bit better. The coach put him in FW position and you finally understand why he made him practice/play defense before. (Which I thought was pretty cute/smart of him ~ but all these anime coaches keep it secret like their stupid or something. I know it's part of the story, and sometimes makes sense, but still~! LOL)

How many total eps are in the series again?
