Coach Carter (1/9) Movie CLIP - First Practice (2005) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Coach Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) presents his new team with conduct contracts at the start of practice, but Timo (Rick Gonzalez) has other plans.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there's more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him -- the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond cagers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more -- to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter's guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter's plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter's belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter's players.

"Teachers ain't supposed to touch students."

"I'm not a teacher, I'm a Jedi."

[Bluemgwes]

The fact that Samuel L. Jackson hasn't won an Oscar is a sin to cinema. He gives such great performances.

[kiamaria]

"THIS AIN'T OVER!"


As he backs away embarrassed and shook af, lmao.

"Teachers ain't supposed to touch students."
Bruh you swung on him first, Is he just suppose to stand there and take it?

[TheOneCTXL]

Timo is a good actor. As a high school student, thats just how they are.

[jordanfrederick]

Did that guy actually try and pick a fight with Samuel L Jackson? We all know he would never stand a chance.

[Tekno]

“I’m not a teacher. I’m Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’d like to talk to you all today about the Avenger Initiative”

[flightofthebumblebee]

Coach Ken Carter didn't care about being liked. He was there to make his players into young men entering the hard world first, and basketball players second. The way they hate him in the beginning just further shows how effective he was as both a coach and mentor. It was heartbreaking when he learned the teaching staff were floating them passing grades, but he makes the selfless decision once again, and does what is best for his players. A real hero is someone like Ken Carter.

[claytonlusby]

We need more teachers and coaches out there like Coach Carter. Great movie.

I love that he condemns the use of the"N" word racial slur by anyone. We need more of that attitude towards inappropriate words.

[HalesEnchanted]

Hands down one of the best movies I have ever watched!
