Short Answer
1. Lonnie is angry that Cal did not show up to the game. He pulls a pistol on Cal, but Paul intervenes, causing Lonnie to accidentally shoot his own hand. Lonnie’s feelings are conflicting because he wonders why he is glad to see Cal. (Chapter 2)
2. When Lonnie first meets Cal, he is drunk and challenges him in basketball, calling him “youngblood.” Cal does not show up to the team’s first game, and Lonnie probably feels he will be unreliable as a coach. (Chapters 1-2)
