Ken Carter is a Basket Ball couch and has been asked to coach Richmond high. A High school in the inner City of California, in which he attended as a teenager. Richmond is full of students which are most likely to not graduate high school. The team won four games and lost 22 games the year before, so Coach Carter is there to change that. The members of his team are unreliable, disrespectful (to themselves and other), they never attend classes and they have low grades. So Coach Carter sets strict rules for his rebellious team. They must maintain a 2.3 grade point average, they must attend classes and sit in the front row, and they must wear jackets and ties on game days.
After hard training Richmond wins all games they have so far played but Coach Carter is soon to realize that their grades aren’t up to standard and many of them are skipping class. So he locks the gym so the team can spend their time studying and catching up in class. But the public do not agree with Coach Carter’s actions. After many meetings a vote is made by the school board to end the lock out.
But the players point out that even though the gym is opened they can’t force them to play.
When the team all reaches their 2.5 grade point average they start playing ball again. They attend the Basket Ball Championships against St Francis. Though it is a tight score sadly they lose the game. But they know that they have won. They had a Coach that Saved their lives. Realizing that Their “deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, their deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
