However, when Nicolette stops by to make arrangements for a party at McGee's, Lt. Stanley Proctor mentions that it's for his team to celebrate their certain victory over team Malcolm's Li'l Dribblers. So a jealous Eddie offers to substitute for Malcolm in order to beat Proctor, only to learn that he's just needed for the game before. Meanwhile, Malcolm and rival Mick McGinley agree to save money by purchasing their restaurant supplies together. When McGinley complains that his son hasn't been getting enough playing time, Malcolm makes it clear that Mickey Jr. is better suited to sitting on the bench. As a result of the slight, McGinley leaves Malcolm stranded in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, when Eddie's maneuvering causes a forfeit that is the Li'l Dribblers first win, the team wants him to coach them against Proctor's Termites. After giving them lessons in foul play, Eddie then hopes for some favoritism by asking Malcolm to referee. And while Malcolm agrees, it's only to set an example of good sportsmanship for the boys. When Eddie tries to sneak an older player into the game, both Proctor and Nicolette see through his devious tactics. And once McGinley arrives to complain, Malcolm agrees Mickey Jr. should play, even though he doesn't want to. However, bad sportsmanship derails the game before it can get started as Eddie challenges Proctor to game of their own. And while Eddie manages to pull out a victory, Nicolette isn't impressed and leaves as Mickey Jr. enlists Malcolm and Eddie to intervene with his dad. Written by Anonymous See less
