"À Richmond, Ken Carter accepte de devenir l'entraîneur de l'équipe de basketball de l'école secondaire où il a jadis étudié. Mais la partie est loin d'être gagnée. Face à une bande d'adolescents indisciplinés, peu motivés et bagarreurs, Carter prend les grands moyens. Exigeant un respect total de la part de ses joueurs et punissant sévèrement leurs écarts de langage, le nouvel entraîneur les oblige également à assister tous leurs cours et à obtenir des résultats dans la moyenne. Grâce aux efforts soutenus de Carter, son équipe accède aux éliminatoires. Mais en réalisant que ses joueurs ont des résultats scolaires nettement insuffisants, l'entraîneur décide de fermer le gymnase pour les obliger étudier, au risque de provoquer les foudres de leurs parents et de la population locale. Inspiré de l'histoire vraie de Ken Carter, l'entraîneur de basket d'une équipe d'une école secondaire, qui devint célèbre en 1999 après avoir renvoyé ses joueurs à leurs études, déclarant forfait deux matchs de suite alors que l'équipe était invaincue, parce que ces derniers n'avaient pas obtenu des résultats scolaires suffisants."

""In 1999, Ken Carter, a successful sporting goods store owner, accepts the job of basketball coach for his old high school in a poor area of Richmond, [California], where he was a champion athlete. Dismayed [as much] by the poor attitudes of his players as [by] their dismal play performance, Carter sets about to change both. He immediately imposes a strict regime typified [by] written contracts that include stipulations for respectful behavior, a dress code and good grades as [prerequisites for] being allowed to participate. The initial resistance from the boys is soon dispelled as the team under Carter's tutelage becomes a undefeated competitor in the games. However, when the overconfident team's behavior begins to stray and Carter learns that too many players are doing poorly in class, he takes immediate action. To the outrage of the team, the school and the community, Carter cancels all team activities and locks the court until the team shows acceptable academic improvement. In the ensuing debate, Carter fights to keep his methods, determined to show the boys that they need to rely on more than sports for their futures, and eventually finds he has affected them more profoundly than he ever expected"--Internet movie database summary by Kenneth Chisholm, as viewed on December 15, 2006."
