Synopsis

Coach Roy McCormick (Lawrence) was once college basketball's top mastermind. His attention began to turn on what endorsement contracts he could land next instead of actually coaching his team. Add to that the fact that Coach McCormick has a very short fuse and let's his temper get the best of him in most situations and it is because of this that he gets banned from coaching college basketball again...until he can show that he can control his anger.

Roy eventually waits for a coaching gig some place and waits and waits yet nobody ever calls. He ends up receiving only one offer, the Mount Vernon Junior High School is looking for somebody to coach their basketball team, the Smelters. Roy reluctantly accepts the offer, hoping that a few weeks at the school will prove his good intentions and restore him to his high-living ways as a celebrated college coach. When McCormick begins coaching the squad he gets into a situation that he has never been in before and doesn't know what happened to him. He eventually starts teaching the concepts of basketball to his new team. With the teaching and learning done between the two, the Smelters eventually start having success. The success leads Coach McCormick to find what he has been missing all this time, not a big coaching gig, not a high-dollar endorsement but his simple love of the game.
