00:26:09	Oh, yes, sir.
00:26:16	But she was the devil.
00:26:21	I remember once she tricked me
00:26:23	from Christ the King
00:26:27	She smiled
00:26:29	while I damn near had to wear

00:28:25	All right, take a deep breath, guys.
00:28:29	- You tired?
00:28:31	Those guys are exhausted.
00:28:33	That's why this guy's gonna miss
00:28:35	When he does,
00:28:38	Push the ball. Go hard to the hole.
00:28:42	- Yes, sir.

00:32:52	Yo, yell out my numbers, sir.
00:32:54	Mr. Worm, you were five and four.
00:32:58	No, sir. I had 12 points
00:33:00	No, sir, Mr. Worm. You had five

00:33:14	- Six a. M?
00:33:20	Mr. Cruz.
00:33:22	Are you lost, sir?
00:33:24	What I gotta do to play?
00:33:25	Mr. Cruz, you do not want to know
00:33:31	Now, as I was saying,
00:33:33	as a team,
00:33:38	From now on,
00:33:41	you must pay an exit price of 50
00:33:46	- What?
00:33:48	- Come on.
00:33:53	Okay, Mr. Cruz.
00:33:56	Before you can play on this team...
00:33:59	...you owe me...
00:34:03	...2,500 push-ups...
00:34:06	...and 1,000 suicides.
00:34:08	- Damn.
00:34:13	And they must be
00:34:15	- He ain't finishing that by Friday.
00:34:19	Today's flavor: Offense.
00:34:23	- Now we talking.
00:34:25	Her name is Linda.
00:34:27	Linda is smart, she's political.
00:34:31	Well, actually, she's radical.
00:34:33	Linda's got a big Afro.
00:34:36	Linda is our pick-and-roll offense.
00:34:40	Before we get into that,
00:34:43	Give me a lay-up line.
00:34:45	- Let's go.
00:34:47	Let's do it.

00:35:11	but you gotta be patient
00:35:14	Set up your man
00:35:18	Okay. Switch it up.
00:35:20	We got it, come on.
00:35:23	- And call out them picks.
00:35:28	What is your deepest fear,
00:35:32	That you're inadequate?
00:35:35	Give up, Mr. Cruz.
00:35:38	Go home.
00:35:44	All right, I want seven passes
00:35:47	- Seven.
00:35:50	- I got him. I got him.
00:35:56	You know your task is impossible
00:36:03	Move.
00:36:05	Work it, work it.
00:36:09	Run it back.
00:36:34	What time your mom getting home?
00:36:35	She doesn't get off for another hour.
00:36:46	Oh, that's Myles.
00:36:48	What?
00:37:04	Say, "Hi, Uncle Kenyon. "
00:37:07	Say, "Hi. "
00:37:09	All right, don't worry about it.
00:37:11	He'll go back to sleep
00:37:13	Right, boo-boo?
00:37:15	Yeah, probably in time
00:37:17	Or when your cousin get back
00:37:20	like she can afford all that shit.
00:37:23	Well, my mother had to work
00:37:26	but they cut her overtime.
00:37:28	And my cousin,
00:37:31	You said we'd be alone.
00:37:33	Well, that's why we need
00:37:39	Did you turn this off?
00:37:41	- Yeah, it was boiling.
00:37:44	Well, turn it down, not off.
00:37:46	This is milk, butter and cheese.
00:37:50	And hold him up.
00:37:58	Making the baby's bottle for Myles.
00:38:02	All right, Myles, here we go.
00:38:04	Gotta cool off a minute.
00:38:13	Ever think about what you were
00:38:16	What you mean,
00:38:18	Yeah.
00:38:19	I mean, yeah, I thought about it.
00:38:22	I could go later, I guess.
00:38:25	You have to get some work
00:38:29	Me too.
00:38:31	- So I'll work.
00:38:33	Why you asking me
00:38:35	And you gotta put your hands
00:38:38	You gotta sit him on your chest.
00:38:42	- I am holding him.
00:38:45	You gotta soothe him, Kenyon.
00:38:46	Look...
00:38:50	I don't know how to do this.
00:38:53	You'll get it.
00:38:55	Right?
00:39:00	Look, I gotta help my mom
00:39:05	- See you later, all right?
00:39:10	Call me later, okay?
00:39:12	Later.
00:39:18	All right, keep it riding on somebody.
00:39:20	- Don't get lost in there.
00:39:23	Stay with your man.

00:39:30	Guys...

00:40:00	Oh, they're great, ma'am. We're 1-0.
00:40:03	Very good.
00:40:04	How may I help you?
00:40:06	Well, I had my boys sign contracts
00:40:10	requiring them to meet
00:40:13	Yes, I believe one of the faculty
00:40:15	Very interesting scare tactic.
00:40:19	Well, in order for that
00:40:22	I need their teachers to fill out
00:40:24	so I'll know how the boys
00:40:28	- Okay.
00:40:31	from their teachers.

00:41:45	Gentlemen, see you tomorrow.
00:41:51	I'll do push-ups for him.

00:44:25	Hands up.
00:45:14	Three points, Cruz!
00:45:17	What the hell are you doing, Cruz?
00:45:20	You do that again and you're going
00:45:26	- Swing it.
00:45:33	Come on, last kick.
00:45:35	Kick it in. Kick it in. Let's go.
00:45:46	You can't guard me, can you?

00:45:54	- Shot.
00:46:00	Kenyon, pose for me.

00:46:24	All right, 1-4, 1-4.
00:00:09	Can't stop that!
00:00:12	- Hey, coach, your shoe's untied, sir.
00:00:19	Look at that bow. Look at that.
00:00:21	I tied that. I tied that shit.
00:00:24	Can I get something on the bow?
00:00:27	Are you crazy?
00:00:29	What is wrong with you?
00:00:31	What's wrong with all of you?
00:00:34	Since when is winning not enough?
00:00:37	Playing hard not enough?
00:00:41	No, you have to humiliate
00:00:45	Taunt him after every score.
00:00:48	You won four games last season.
00:00:51	Four.
00:00:52	What gives you the right
00:00:56	with trash talk and taunting?
00:00:59	What gives you the right to wear
00:01:02	and act like punks?
00:01:03	- Coach, they were jawing too.
00:01:06	You can't show some class?
00:01:08	Act like a champion?
00:01:13	You owe me 500 push-ups apiece.
00:01:17	On the line. Now.
00:01:19	- Damn.
00:01:38	Listen, shorty, I'm just gonna be real
00:01:41	You're my girl.
00:01:44	I get out on that court
00:01:47	all I gotta do is just think about you.
00:01:50	Mr. Lyle.
00:01:52	Why aren't you in...
00:01:56	...geometry?
00:01:59	- Sir, this is Betty.
00:02:01	Bella. Bella. This is Bella, sir.
00:02:03	Go to class.
00:02:10	Don't forget that these projects
00:02:14	- So if any of you need extra time...
00:02:17	- Yes.
00:02:20	...don't see Junior Battle
00:02:23	Junior Battle is like a solar eclipse.
00:02:26	We rarely see him, but when we do,
00:02:32	Thank you.
00:02:35	"Surprise arrival to the poll
00:02:38	- Top 20, baby.
00:02:41	"The Oilers have posted

00:03:19	See, that's my big nigga
00:03:22	If you was any bigger,
00:03:27	Sit down. Sit down!
00:03:37	"Nigger" is a derogatory term
00:03:45	See, if a white man used it,
00:03:48	Your using it teaches him to use it.
00:03:51	You're saying it's cool.
00:03:54	And when you're around me,
00:03:57	- We clear?
00:03:59	- Yes, sir.
00:04:01	Yes, sir.

00:04:09	To win that state championship, sir.
00:04:14	Well, who won the state basketball
00:04:18	Hell if I know, sir.
00:04:21	Does anybody know?
00:04:25	Okay.
00:04:27	What's your father do for a living,
00:04:34	My father's in jail, sir.
00:04:40	Well, I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
00:04:42	But that doesn't have to be your life.
00:04:46	My point's this:
00:04:48	I have four seniors on this team,
00:04:50	Junior, Lyle, Kenyon and Worm.
00:04:53	All of whom I think can play
00:04:57	College.
00:05:00	That's a viable option for all of you.
00:05:03	But you have to perform in the
00:05:08	You have to have a vision.
00:05:11	Tell me, how do you
00:05:17	ESPN, baby.
00:05:20	That reminds me, Mr. Battle.
00:05:22	Mr. Gesek tells me he doesn't
00:05:27	Yeah, we cool, though, me and him.
00:05:30	Mr. Gesek is a big basketball fan.
00:05:34	Well, as of now, you're suspended.
00:05:36	Oh, you can practice,
00:05:38	until Mr. Gesek tells me
00:05:42	And that's a shout out
00:05:44	You signed a contract.
00:05:46	You made a commitment.
00:05:48	Now, I have your schedules and I'll be

00:06:07	Man, this is bullshit!
00:06:12	That's 1,000 push-ups
00:06:15	You wanna try for 2,000?
00:06:34	Young man, think about the choice
00:06:48	To the baseline.
00:06:53	All right. How about LaQuisha,
00:06:57	LaQuisha? Okay, yeah, the ghetto
00:07:02	Girl, LaQuisha? Be for real.
00:07:04	You might as well call the baby
00:07:07	You're stupid.
00:07:09	All right, I was thinking
00:07:14	- I like Harmony.
00:07:17	- What did Kenyon say?
00:07:20	- Figures.
00:07:23	Yo, what's wrong with a girl?
00:07:24	Yeah, dog, boys grow into men,

00:07:35	See you later.
00:07:36	Don't forget,
00:07:38	- All right, I got you.
00:07:43	I bought us tickets to the dance.
00:07:46	Why you telling these
00:07:48	Now everybody's gonna know.
00:07:51	People are gonna know, Kenyon.
00:07:53	- It's not people's business, Kyra.
00:07:56	What's wrong with you?
00:07:58	Look, me and coach been talking,
00:08:03	All right, so?
00:08:05	So how am I gonna do that
00:08:10	I don't know. I mean,
00:08:14	Hard? It's already hard.
00:08:16	The kid ain't even here yet
00:08:18	about how I'm gonna feed it,
00:08:22	Everything.
00:08:23	- I'm not ready.
00:08:25	You want out?
00:08:29	Go ahead and say it.
00:08:30	Look, if I wanted to be out,
00:08:33	That's not it at all. I love you.
00:08:35	I wanna be with you.
00:08:37	Yeah, as long as it's convenient.
00:08:39	I'm thinking about
00:08:41	You're not trying to think about
00:08:43	you're thinking about
00:08:45	You don't want me to have this baby.
00:08:49	You wanna go play college ball.
00:08:52	We ain't got to be ready enough
00:08:56	I'm ready enough to do what
00:08:59	So you can take these
00:09:05	Progress reports?
00:09:06	Look, ma'am, we talked about this.
00:09:09	Do you know what the API is,
00:09:11	No, I don't.
00:09:12	The Academic Performance Index.
00:09:14	They judge schools on a scale
00:09:18	Do you have any idea
00:09:20	No, ma'am, I have no idea.
00:09:22	We're a one, Mr. Carter, and have
00:09:25	The state rewards schools
00:09:27	So every year I have less money
00:09:29	- Look, ma'am...
00:09:32	- I want my boys to go to college.
00:09:35	Mr. Carter, Richmond graduates
00:09:37	the higher percentage being girls.
00:09:39	Now, in my very educated opinion,
00:09:42	you'll be lucky to graduate
00:09:44	I'm sorry, ma'am,
00:09:46	Look, these boys signed contracts.
00:09:49	Your job is to win basketball games,
00:09:52	- I suggest you start doing your job.
00:09:56	I suggest you start doing yours.
00:10:13	Well...
00:10:15	...we had another good week.
00:10:18	Yeah, business is very good, Kenny.
00:10:22	But I'm on my own.
00:10:24	- It gets crazy.
00:10:27	And I promise you... We're closed.
00:10:29	- As soon as the season is over,
00:10:32	Mr. Carter?
00:10:34	- I'm...
00:10:36	Yes, ma'am, I remember you.
00:10:37	Willa. Willa Battle.
00:10:41	How may I help you, ma'am?
00:10:43	Mr. Carter, I got a phone call today
00:10:44	from a coach at a junior college
00:10:47	Now, they wanna see
00:10:50	Well, that's great, ma'am,
00:10:52	And I agree with them.
00:10:54	I'm not here to argue
00:10:57	I'm not.
00:11:01	Almost two years ago now,
00:11:04	Junior's older brother, Anton, was...
00:11:09	...killed, and it's been confusing
00:11:15	After you lose a son...
00:11:18	...every time the phone rings,
00:11:25	Now, I'm not asking
00:11:28	I agree he needs to get straight
00:11:32	But the idea of junior college
00:11:36	Now, I could move to the Hercules
00:11:40	- But moving is not gonna solve...
00:11:47	Look, I'm not gonna stand here
00:11:48	and say I know how it feels
00:11:53	And I do appreciate you
00:11:58	But I need to hear that from Junior.
00:12:00	He in the car.
00:12:07	Junior!
00:12:19	Go on.
00:12:26	I'm sorry for what I said and did
00:12:29	and I promise to get caught up
00:12:37	Look me in the eye, sir.
00:12:44	Everything inside me tells me
00:12:47	I'd be making a mistake
00:12:50	No, sir.
00:12:55	You owe me 1,000 push-ups
00:12:57	and 1,000 suicides
00:13:00	I'll see you at practice tomorrow.
00:13:04	Thank you, sir.
00:13:15	And you gonna do
00:13:17	Quitting basketball like you pay rent.
00:13:19	I don't know who you think you are.
00:13:21	The next time you make a decision,
00:13:25	Yo, Junior,
00:13:27	- Good looking out, yo.
00:13:30	- Yeah, no doubt.
00:13:33	I just received a call from the director
00:13:38	You have been invited.
00:13:40	- Yeah!
00:13:47	Now, I have more good news.
00:13:49	I spoke to Principal Garrison today.
00:13:51	She informs me that your teachers will
00:13:55	prepared by the end

00:16:28	- You're pregnant, girl.
00:16:30	It's soda, all right?
00:16:32	So why don't you just go
00:16:34	and find one of your little girlies
00:16:36	It ain't even like that.
00:16:38	- That ain't shit.
00:16:40	You shouldn't be here.
00:16:42	you need to check this bullshit.
00:16:44	If not, what, Kenyon? You wanna hold
00:16:47	- Is that what you want?
00:16:50	You so damn sure you wanna

00:16:58	It's great?
00:16:59	It was great when we
00:17:01	You ain't having no second
00:17:03	You loved me
00:17:08	Look, Kyra, I can't tell you
00:17:10	but I look around and I see exactly
00:17:13	Paycheck to paycheck?
00:17:15	Dead-end job?
00:17:16	You make it seem like everything's
00:17:19	like everything's so wonderful.
00:17:22	You don't care about me.
00:17:25	You just wanna go to college,
00:17:29	- Kyra, that's not even how it is.
00:17:32	- I'm having this baby.
00:17:35	You got everything figured out, right?
00:17:37	So tell me what comes next.

00:18:58	Don't panic.
00:19:01	We're six down with 1:20 left, right?
00:19:03	We've been in these guys' ass
00:19:05	We can do this.
00:19:06	- This is our time, right?
00:19:09	All right, set up the 1-4.
00:19:12	Damien's gonna hit the three.
00:19:14	Kenyon, Lyle,
00:19:17	When he hits the three,
00:19:20	Pressure the inbound pass.
00:19:21	Suffocate that pass.
00:19:23	I want the ball back!
00:19:25	- Come on, baby, lock up.

00:23:36	D up, man!
00:23:43	Yeah!
00:24:05	It's all right, man.

00:26:19	Tonya, guess what.
00:26:20	We won the whole thing.
00:26:24	That's right, 16-0.
00:26:26	Oh, and here's the best part:
00:26:28	Your second-favorite man was MVP.
00:26:30	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:26:32	I shouldn't tell you that.
00:26:34	I'll wake him up so he can tell you.
00:26:38	Why don't you try their doorbell
00:26:41	Can you reach that?
00:26:50	- Look at this place.
00:26:52	Oh, you know, we try to be
00:26:57	Yo, what's up? This is a nice crib.
00:27:11	Know what? He must be
00:27:27	Like I was saying, you know,
00:27:31	- That's what I'm talking about.
00:27:33	- So you ain't got no boyfriend?
00:27:49	Yo!
00:27:52	You looking for your team?
00:27:54	Yes, sir.
00:27:56	Oh, baby. Hard biz.
00:27:59	This is my style right here.
00:28:03	Hey, yo, Lyle.
00:28:05	I got you, dog. I got you.
00:28:07	- Yo, Worm!
00:28:09	- Damien!
00:28:11	I'm open!
00:28:13	Damien!
00:28:17	- Damien, are you drunk?
00:28:22	- Sorry about the thing.
00:28:24	- I see you!
00:28:27	- I see her!
00:28:31	- We're going swimming?
00:28:33	Hey, I'm going swimming!
00:28:35	I'm going swimming!
00:28:39	You're going swimming
00:28:41	MVP!
00:28:56	This water's probably
00:28:59	And swimming ain't my cup of tea,
00:29:02	Heated. Probably 90 degrees.
00:29:05	- We don't have bathing suits.
00:29:08	Neither do we.
00:29:12	Oh, so it's like that?
00:29:14	Show me the money, then,
00:29:16	- Damn!
00:29:24	Oh, damn. Yeah, that's nice.
00:29:29	- Damn!
00:29:33	I like that.
00:29:35	You guys coming?
00:29:37	We're getting in there.
00:29:40	I gotta take my chain off
00:29:44	Oh, man, I can't believe this.
00:29:48	Heaven!
00:30:10	Excuse me.
00:30:14	- Can I help you?
00:30:17	coach of the Richmond High
00:30:19	Richmond?
00:30:21	- You're a little lost, aren't you?
00:30:24	The cab driver told me he dropped
00:30:28	Excuse me.
00:31:12	Oh, my God, is that...?
00:31:14	Oh, my God, it's Susan's dad.
00:31:15	You see your son?
00:31:18	Yes, sir, I do.
00:31:26	Damien Carter.
00:31:28	Get your ass out of that pool.
00:31:31	Yes, sir.
00:31:33	Richmond High players, let's go!
00:31:36	- Coach!
00:31:39	Worm?
00:31:42	What up, coach?
00:31:44	I got somebody I want
00:31:46	Now, I just met her,
00:31:50	- Her name is...
00:31:53	- Susan. He right!
00:31:55	My daughter, Susan.
00:31:59	You are not going to like
00:32:03	You think you've run for me before?
00:32:06	I come to your rooms to celebrate
00:32:13	I end up taking a road trip
00:32:17	where I find my
00:32:19	on top of Daddy's little princess!
00:32:22	Actually, I was on the bottom, coach.
00:32:26	Worm, do you wanna be
00:32:29	Because you're about six words
00:32:31	and kicked off the goddamn bus!
00:32:35	Cruz, open your eyes!
00:32:37	Ghetto hoop stars!
00:32:40	Signing autographs
00:32:44	Well, I'm gonna show you
00:32:47	Coach, we won the tournament.
00:32:51	We undefeated.
00:32:52	I mean, ain't that what you wanted?
00:32:55	Winners?
00:34:10	Oh, no.
00:34:13	Oh, no, no, no.
00:34:15	Oh, no!
00:34:22	God...!
00:34:35	You guys are awesome!
00:34:51	What's up, Cruz?
00:34:52	I don't know.
00:34:54	Coach giving us a day off, I guess.
00:34:59	Yo, I don't even know where
00:35:01	- I bet you don't.
00:35:04	He don't know
00:35:21	Quiet.
00:35:24	Quiet!
00:35:27	Gentlemen, in this hand,
00:35:30	signed by me and signed by you.
00:35:33	In this hand, I hold academic-progress
00:35:38	We have six players failing
00:35:41	eight players getting incompletes
00:35:45	Gentlemen, you have failed to up...
00:35:49	No, I'm sorry.
00:35:51	We have failed.
00:35:54	We have failed each other.
00:35:56	Now, there are some of you
00:35:59	But know that we are a team.
00:36:03	And until we all meet the terms
00:36:06	the gym will remain locked.
00:36:08	- Locked?
00:36:09	- What you mean, locked?
00:36:11	- He must mean for the day.
00:36:14	Mr. Gesek and Miss Sherman have
00:36:17	to help us reach our goals.
00:36:19	But, coach, I have a 3.3.
00:36:20	That's good, sir.
00:36:22	Do you score all the points
00:36:27	We are the Richmond Oilers.
00:36:31	Do you know what Oilers
00:36:37	Sir?
00:36:40	Know that you're not just
00:36:43	You're walking out on them.
00:36:46	I had to beg you.
00:36:49	And then I ran all those sprints.
00:36:53	I did all that shit.
00:36:54	I killed myself for you, sir,
00:37:02	This is bullshit.
00:37:27	You put a lock on the gym and forced
00:37:30	- Are you crazy?
00:37:32	I'm surprised you know
00:37:34	Take the lock off that gym.
00:37:36	My phone hasn't stopped ringing.
00:37:37	Maybe someone on the other end
00:37:39	has a solution to our problem.
00:37:41	Your intentions are good, Mr. Carter,
00:37:44	You painted an extreme picture.
00:37:46	No one expects them to graduate,
00:37:50	So you take away basketball,
00:37:52	- where they have some success?
00:37:55	And you challenge them
00:37:56	- Yes, ma'am.
00:37:58	Then we've failed.
00:38:02	Unfortunately, Mr. Carter,
00:38:04	that for some of these kids,
00:38:07	will be the highlight of their lives.
00:38:10	Well, I think that's the problem.
00:38:39	- Good morning, Coach Carter.
00:38:42	Quite the Pandora's box
00:38:44	Oh, I get all the blame now?
00:38:45	Let's just say I'm happy to give you
00:38:48	I've got every news reporter in town
00:38:52	Got a press conference set up
00:38:55	Coach Carter has taken the lockout
00:38:57	by canceling last night's game.
00:38:59	Richmond forfeited the game,
00:39:03	And for now,
00:39:05	Here he comes.
00:39:07	Coach Carter! Coach!
00:39:11	Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
00:39:15	At this time, I'd like to introduce
00:39:18	You may direct
00:39:20	Mr. Carter, is it unfair to the players
00:39:25	Basketball's a team sport, sir.
00:39:27	We support each other
00:39:29	Anybody still think coach
00:39:32	I feel like running right up
00:39:35	and telling them I think this
00:39:37	Maybe you should've gone
00:39:40	Maybe you should kiss my ass, dog.
00:39:43	- It's Junior they should've locked out.

00:40:37	Thank you for your time,
00:40:39	I'd like to remind you that classes

00:40:47	He come up in my 'hood,
00:40:50	- Young sirs.
00:40:52	It's been a long day.
00:40:54	Reporters. Media everywhere.
00:40:58	Let's take this time to say whatever it is
00:41:02	You have the floor.
00:41:06	Man, this shit ain't about us.
00:41:09	We're the basketball team.
00:41:11	All I see is you on TV,
00:41:15	- Is that all you see?
00:41:17	You ain't lying.
00:41:20	Well, let me tell you what I see.
00:41:22	I see a system that's designed
00:41:27	Now, I know you all like stats,
00:41:30	Richmond High only graduates
00:41:34	And of those that do graduate,
00:41:40	Which tells me, when I walk down
00:41:45	maybe only one student
00:41:50	"Well, damn, Coach Carter, if I ain't
00:41:53	Now, that's a great question.
00:41:56	And the answer for young
00:42:01	Probably to prison.
00:42:04	In this county,
00:42:08	between 18 and 24 get arrested.
00:42:14	So look at the guy on your left.
00:42:16	Now look at the guy on your right.
00:42:20	One of you is going
00:42:23	Growing up here in Richmond,
00:42:25	you're 80 percent more likely
00:42:30	Those are the numbers.
00:42:33	Those are some stats for your ass.
00:42:36	Now, I want you to go home...
00:42:39	...and look at your lives tonight...
00:42:42	...and look at your parents' lives...
00:42:45	...and ask yourself, "Do I want better?"

00:42:51	I'll see you here tomorrow.
00:42:54	And I promise you...
00:42:57	...I will do everything in my power

00:08:00	That, among other things.
00:08:03	- Other things like?
00:08:05	sitting in the front row
00:08:07	and wearing a tie on game day.
00:08:09	I see. Mr. Carter,
00:08:12	does the lockout include
00:08:15	And do you have
00:08:17	There will be no basketball, ma'am.
00:08:21	Please. Quiet, please.
00:08:24	That includes practices and games,
00:08:27	until we as a team
00:08:30	Please, quiet.
00:08:32	Please, quiet.
00:08:34	Quiet.
00:08:36	Thank you, Mr. Carter.
00:08:38	In the interest of time, I'd like to open
00:08:42	As a teacher, I was offended
00:08:45	to provide progress reports.
00:08:47	Nowhere in my contract does it say
00:08:51	It creates more work.
00:08:53	This lockout has brought
00:08:55	that questions our abilities
00:08:58	End this madness. End this lockout.
00:09:04	I'm Jason Lyle's uncle.
00:09:06	That boy lives to play ball.
00:09:08	Comes to school every day now.
00:09:10	You take away basketball,
00:09:12	God knows what he'd be into.
00:09:16	Yesterday, he canceled
00:09:19	Now, that's the biggest game
00:09:22	I have scouts coming
00:09:24	- Me too.
00:09:27	This whole school, this whole
00:09:34	Everybody goes to every game.
00:09:37	Basketball is the only thing
00:09:39	Are we gonna let Carter come in here
00:09:43	- No!
00:09:45	Not gonna happen.
00:09:54	- I'd like to make a motion.
00:09:57	I move that we remove Mr. Carter
00:10:05	Order, please. Order.
00:10:08	This board does not have
00:10:10	to terminate employment
00:10:12	Then I move we end the lockout
00:10:17	I second the motion.
00:10:19	- Okay.
00:10:21	Yes, Mr. Carter.
00:10:22	You really need to consider
00:10:25	that you're sending these boys.
00:10:27	It's the same message that we
00:10:31	which is that they are above the law.
00:10:34	Now, I'm trying to teach these boys
00:10:37	and give them choices.
00:10:40	If you endorse the fact
00:10:44	don't have to honor the simple rules
00:10:48	how long do you think it'll be before
00:10:52	Now, I played basketball
00:10:55	It was the same thing then.
00:10:58	Some of my teammates
00:11:00	Some of them ended up dead.
00:11:03	I took this job because
00:11:06	in a special group of young men,
00:11:08	and this is the only way
00:11:13	If you vote to end the lockout,
00:11:15	you won't have to terminate me.
00:11:19	Good.
00:11:25	Thank you, Mr. Carter.
00:11:30	The board now recognizes
00:11:33	In this instance, we will be accepting
00:11:37	Now, I put to those members
00:11:41	to end the lockout.
00:11:43	All those in favor
00:11:45	will raise their right hand
00:11:49	I will vote first
00:11:54	Principal Garrison?
00:12:00	Valerie Walker.
00:12:04	Benson Chiu.
00:12:08	Parent rep, Mr. Cepeda.
00:12:12	And Ms. Nyugen.
00:12:14	- Yes.
00:12:32	The lockout ends with a vote
00:12:35	If there's no other business,
00:12:39	Thank you all for coming.
00:12:57	Mr. Carter.
00:13:00	Are you sure you wanna do this?
00:13:04	Look, I know we haven't always seen
00:13:07	but you've done such a great job with
00:13:10	Look. No offense, ma'am,
00:13:14	was negated when they ended
00:13:16	I don't think that's true, I...
00:13:18	The board sent the message
00:13:20	Winning basketball games
00:13:22	than graduating from high school
00:13:24	I'm sorry, I just can't support
00:14:16	Sir, they can cut the chain off the
00:14:23	We've decided we're gonna finish
00:14:28	Yeah, so leave us be, coach.
00:14:30	We got shit to do, sir.
00:14:46	Our deepest fear is not
00:14:48	Our deepest fear is that
00:14:52	It is our light, not our darkness
00:14:56	Your playing small
00:14:58	There is nothing enlightened
00:15:00	so that other people
00:15:04	We were all meant to shine,
00:15:07	It's not just in some of us,
00:15:10	And as we let our own light shine,
00:15:13	we unconsciously give other people
00:15:16	As we are liberated
00:15:19	our presence automatically
00:15:28	Sir, I just wanna say thank you.
00:15:33	You saved my life.

00:28:56	And most importantly,
00:29:02	We make them play

00:32:56	All right, baby, it's all us now.
00:33:08	They're standing on the edge of a cliff.

00:36:07	All right? Keep your head up, baby.
00:36:23	Well, not quite
00:36:26	Not for us, anyway.
00:36:30	But you men played like champions.
00:36:34	You never gave up.
00:36:36	And champions
00:36:41	What you achieved goes way beyond
00:36:44	or what's gonna be written
00:36:46	of the sports section tomorrow.
00:36:49	You've achieved something
00:36:51	spend their whole lives trying to find.
00:36:55	What you achieved
00:37:02	And, gentlemen...
00:37:05	...I am so proud of you.
00:37:11	Four months ago, when I took
00:37:16	That plan failed.
00:37:18	I came to coach basketball players,
00:37:25	I came to teach boys...
00:37:28	...and you became men.
00:37:30	And for that, I thank you.
00:37:36	If someone walked in this door
00:37:39	and offered me the coaching job
00:37:45	you know which team I'd choose?
00:37:48	St. Francis?
00:37:51	I'm just saying, man.
00:37:54	Kenyon?
00:38:00	- Richmond?
00:38:03	- Richmond.
00:38:05	Richmond.
00:38:07	- Rich what?
00:38:10	- Where we from?
00:38:12	- What's my hometown?
