Coach Carter (2005)
Movie
Released
A winning basketball programme is made to confront what happens to its players after school. The dispute over academic commitments gives the coach's authority a purpose beyond demanding obedience on court. Samuel L. Jackson makes the argument compelling, though the film's forceful approach to discipline will not persuade every viewer.
