Product Description:
COACH CARTER tells the inspiring true story of controversial high school basketball coach Ken Carter (Jackson). Making headlines for his emphasis on the importance of academics over athletics, Carter requests all the members of the team to sign contracts, promising to maintain a certain grade point average. When the players fail to live up to this agreement, Carter benches the entire team, locking the gym and forfeiting games to prove his point. This infuriates the community who sees this as a hindrance to the future professional athletic careers of the players. Through hard work and dedication, Carter eventually gets his point across to his team and the community, going above and beyond to ensure a solid academic future for his team.
Customer Reviews:
great movie with a great message, 2009-01-03 I really liked this movie and recomend this movie to any high school basketball coach. this movie shows that the schools are about academics 1st and not just sports, which is the way it should be. but unfortunately it's not like that with most schools which is just sad.
