The town was wild with excitement over the undefeated team and the bleachers were filled with cheering fans for every game. No one could imagine that on JANUARY 4, 1999 the community would erupt in dissention and so many lives would change forever when COACH KEN CARTER padlocked the gym, refusing the players access for failing to keep up their grades. Inspired by a true story, COACH CARTER is an inspirational account of controversial high school basketball coach KEN CARTER (Samuel L. Jackson), who received both praise and staunch criticism when he made national news for benching his entire undefeated team for poor academic performance. Set in RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, this rousing, heartfelt portrayal of human courage and conviction is about overcoming the obstacles of your environment and showing young men a future that stretches beyond gangs, drugs, prison, and yes… even basketball.
