Samuel L. Jackson brings his A-game to this inspiring and eloquent fact-based sports drama.

Rob Brown, Robert Ri’chard, Debbi Morgan, Ashanti, Rick Gonzalez, Antwon Tanner, Nana Gbewonyo, Denise Dowse, Mel Winkler., The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there’s more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him — the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond Oilers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more — to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter’s guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter’s plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter’s belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter’s players., In Thomas Carter’s film, based on a true story, Samuel L Jackson plays Ken Carter, a basketball coach who’s hired by Richmond High School to coach their successful team, the Oilers. He imposes a strict regime on the wayward players – they must call him ‘Sir’, accept punishment for bad language and keep their grades to a certain level. Soon, the team are undefeated, but Carter finds out that they’ve reneged on attending classes and their grades have dropped. Believing that education is more important than sporting prowess, he locks the doors of the gym and forfeits games, placing himself on a collision course with the parents, the local community and the school board, who all crave success in the paint rather than on paper., Controversy surrounds high school basketball coach Ken Carter after he benches his entire team for their breaking their academic contract with him., Real-life story about a tough high school coach who benches his undefeated basketball team when he finds out that they’re flunking their classes., A former scholastic basketball star and self-made businessman returns to his alma mater to oversee the school’s undisciplined hoops team, but he immediately clashes with the cocky players as he tries to teach them about basketball and the game of life.
