Coach Carter
Bill Parcells was in his second season as the Dallas Cowboys' head coach when team quarterback Carter was dismissed from the team during the 2004 preseason.
Cruz came back to the team because he wanted to get his life back on track and be part of a community that supported him. Coach Carter was hard on Cruz because he knew the potential Cruz had and wanted to push him to be the best version of himself, both on and off the basketball court.
In the movie "Coach Carter", the rule of Kenyon Stone is that he must maintain a 2.3 GPA to be able to play basketball, as per the team's contract. This rule reflects the importance of academics and balancing sports with education.
The movie " Coach Carter" brought a lot of significance to us and one of it is about education. As coach Carter mentioned in the movie that education is more important than athletics. He explained to the students that yes you may get some where with athletics that would make you and your team champions, but if you get an education, you can go as far as you want. And education would also make you a champion for your future and for your parents.
Talk to your college coach and/or athletic director if you think you have the talent to make the NFL. If you aren't invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, you may be invited to the Pro-Day workouts at your College or University.
No, the Little League rule book specifically prohibits this. In fact, it goes so far as to say the president can't resign his position and coach a tournament team in the same season.
One of the scenes in a movie, which implies that college is better than no college is the scene in Coach Carter where an extremely gifted player is asked to leave the team. Coach Carter put brains and integrity before talent.
Of course the coach is part of the team
I'm not entirely sure myself, but I know it's one of the two:When the chains are cut off and as Coach Carter is about to leave, the team decides to study until they get their grades up.[or] When the team is playing the championships -- although they end up losing.I think it might be the first, because the basketball game could be the resolution. I'm not sure though, sorry.
Kansas Jayhawks - a team coached by Roy Williams (now head coach at North Carolina)
Ken Carter takes the job as coach of the Richmond Oilers basketball team at his old school Richmond High School, having been on the team himself and earned unbeaten records. Taking over from Coach White, Carter learns the team members are rude and disrespectful. He gives the team individual contracts, instructing them to attend all of their classes and maintain a grade average of 2.3 (although the local average grade students are meant to maintain is 2.0). Carter also asks the school staff for progress reports on the players' attendance. However, three players including Timo Cruz refuse to follow the contract and quit the team. Nonetheless, Carter coaches the team well and allow them to win their first victory whilst playing properly. Carter's son Damien joins the team, after quitting the private school St. Francis to play for his father. Teammate Kenyon Stone struggles to come to terms with his girlfriend Kyra being pregnant and eventually splits up with her, unsure if he could juggle basketball, aspiring for college and being a parent. Their relationship is explored over the course of the film. Cruz attempts to rejoin the basketball team after watching them at their last game, but Carter refuses to let him back in. Cruz has to do 1000 suicides and 2500 pushups to earn Carter's approval, aided by his teammates, eventually succeeding and is allowed back on the team. Carter continues to educate the teammates, teaching them respect for other players. The team eventually won a holiday season basketball tournament, and are invited to a suburb mansion by a fan to party. Carter finds out, crashing the party with the mansion's owners. The enraged Carter returns to his office and finds the progress reports reveal the teammates have been skipping classes. Carter initiates a lockdown on the gym, forbidding the team from playing until they improve their grades, angering the locals and is verbally and physically abused by numerous people. Cruz quits the team again, hanging out with his drug-dealing cousin Remmy, only to witness his cousin get gunned down and die. Cruz goes to Carter in tears and is allowed back on the team. The school board eventually confronts Carter, who justifies his actions, explaining he wants to give his team the opportunity and option for further education so they do not resort to crime. The board, save Principal Garrison and the chairwoman, vote to end the lockout, much to Carter's regret. Carter quits his job, but finds the team studying in the gym, unwilling to play basketball. Cruz reveals to Carter his deepest fear, which Carter asked for repeatedly in the film, is being unable to fulfill his true potential, by quoting Marianne Williamson. Eventually the team improve their grade and are allowed to play basketball again. Kenyon reunites with Kyra, learning she had an abortion. The team plays in the high school playoffs, learning their first opponent is St. Francis. The team ultimately loses, but is proud with what they have achieved. The ending reveals six of the players including Damien, Cruz and Kenyon all went to college.
