• Plot: When professional basketball player Ken Reeves (Ken Howard) suffers a serious knee injury, his career comes to a grinding halt – and all his dreams of glory seem shattered. Fortunately an old friend, who is now the principal of a Los Angeles inner-city high school, offers him a job as a basketball coach. Although initially hesitant, Reeves’s love of the game finally convinces him to accept the position. But he soon discovers the only thing worse than his team’s lack of skill on the court is their lack of belief in themselves off the court. Yet the new coach feels certain that the right combination of guts, sweat, luck and attention will make his players winners in the end.
