"Peter Morales, the boys basketball coach at Coronado High School in El Paso, Texas has a soft spot for his team manager, a developmentally disabled boy named Mitchell.
Having never played an actual game for Coronado, Mitchell was the heart and soul of the team, giving motivation and strength to his teammates.
Still, as much as he loved his role with the team, his desire to play was as strong as ever, and during the final minute of the final game, Mitchell finally got his chance." - Timm Collins

 In this article Timm Collins descibes the event using adjectives such as loved and desired, this shows how he sided with the fact that this was an emotional event.
