Review of Coach Carter

Based on a true-life story of a coach, a sport drama, who tries to make a difference in the lives of his players by teaching them that there's more to life than basketball.

Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later returns to the school as the new basketball coach. While Carter wants to make the Richmond cagers 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 not only turns their losing season around, but complete change in their life.
