| Plot: | Coach Roy once was college basketball's top mastermind. But lately his attentions have been on his next endorsements, not on his next game. What¹s more, Roy's temper has run amuck, leading to his being banned from college ball until he can demonstrate compliance--in other words, not explode every time he walks onto the court. Roy waits and waits; for a suitable coaching offer, but he receives only one: the Mount Vernon Junior High School Smelters basketball squad. Roy reluctantly accepts the offer, hoping that a few weeks at the school will prove his good intentions and restore him to his high-living ways as a celebrated college coach. But when old school meets middle school, Coach Roy doesn't know what hit him. It's not until Roy decides to teach his young charges some new concepts--like passing, rebounding, dribbling, and scoring--that the Smelters begin to find success and Roy finds something long thought lost: his love of the game. |

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In an issue of the school newspaper the headline reads "Smelters Win Again! Move into 6th Place" but if you actually read the article it talks about them having another loss. Crew: In various parts of the movie you can see a microphone hanging down from above, such as the part where Keith's mother is talking to him about his father. Fact errors: The referee in the finals is wearing the wrong uniform. Basketball referees' shirts do not have collars. Collars are worn by football officials, but basketball officials wear plain v-necks. CHAR: In the final scene when Ralph is shooting the free throws after the foul, he steps over the line both times before the ball hits the rim, which means it would be a violation and the free throws wouldn't count. Revealing mistakes: When Coach Roy and Preacher Don are both on screen, there is an obvious body double on the screen. When we see the back of Roy's head, the head is bald. But when the face is towards us, he has very short hair. Continuity: In the scene where Coach Roy is eating a slice of Pizza while coaching the boys, his pizza continually disappears and reappears from it's plate. Revealing mistakes: The movie takes place in Ohio yet throughout the movie the weather is warm and leaves are on the trees which would not be the case in Ohio during high school basketball season. The weather should be colder with either rain or snow and with no leaves on the trees. |

Referee Freddy: [to Roy] You Know, I've been reading these books that say that you should give yourself pats on the back. Daddy never gave me pats on the back. Daddy never gave me any... Larry Burgess Sr.: Blah Blah Blah! This guy is blind as my dead grandma and twice as slow! |
