Plot
Ken Carter is a former basketball player who runs a sporting goods store after retirement. One day, Carter accepts the offer to coach the “Oilers” of Richmond High School, the school in which he took his first steps. On his first day as a coach, Carter realizes he’s dealing with tough kids: he hands them contracts with terms to set, like having a good GPA, sitting at the front benches and showing up in a suit and tie at games. Three players, however, reject Carter’s contract and leave.
Meanwhile Damien, Carter’s son who attends the prestigious Saint Francis school, decides to move to Richmond to be able to play on his father’s team. Carter’s workouts pay off and the ” Oilers ” beat the Hercules school thanks to Damien. After the match Timo Cruz, one of the players who left the team, asks to be allowed back into the team: Carter agrees, if Timo does 2500 push-ups and 1000 suicides (an activity which consists of running continuously along the playing field, stopping to touch all lines) by Friday. Timo commits himself, but fails to achieve the pre-established objective: the companions, therefore, decide to do the remaining push-ups and suicides for him, astonishing Carter and convincing him to reinstate Timo in the team.
