Coach Roy once was college basketball's top mastermind. But lately his attentions have been on his next endorsements, not on his next game.

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.
