synopsis
Coach Roy once was college basketball's top mastermind. But lately his attentions have been on his next endorsements, not on his next game. What¹s more, Roy's temper has run amuck, leading to his being banned from college ball until he can demonstrate compliance--in other words, not explode every time he walks onto the court. Roy waits ­ and waits ­ for a suitable coaching offer, but he receives only one: the Mount Vernon Junior HighSchool Smelters basketball squad. 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. But when "old school" meets middle school, Coach Roy doesn¹t know what hit him. It's not until Roy decides to teach his young charges some new concepts--like passing, rebounding, dribbling, and scoring--that the Smelters begin to find success and Roy finds something long thought lost: his love of the game.

It could be time to look for a new agent, Martin. That isn't to say the actor isn't totally unlikable as Roy, a Bobby Knight wannabe. Lawrence does an admirable job, infusing the character with piss and vinegar at first but then letting… Continued
