Coach Carter (2/9) Movie CLIP - Come-from-Behind Win (2005) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Coach Carter's (Samuel L. Jackson) Richmond High team overcomes a three point deficit with help from freshman Damien (Robert Ri'chard) to get their first win of the season.

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.

"But coach, he a freshman."
"I DON'T REMEMBER ASKIN YOU A GODDAMN THING!"

[MisterMatt]

Love when the “freshman” comes in. He comes in fresh and willing to score and pass the ball. Also love when he shouts worm as he passes, reminds me of high school ball and playing well and meshing with your teammates! Oh the nostalgia

[Kdot]

I love how Channing Tatum does every stereotypical white guy thing. Sets screens, dives for balls, takes charges. He scored two points the whole movie lmao

[adamcarpenter]

Best basketball movie ever it teaches u descilplne and courage and getting a better liffe

[majik]

I'm not even that big of a basketball fan but this movie is amazing

[tiyeeryan]

“But Coach he’s a freshman!”

“You wanna coach?”

[gabrialblast]

From my experience playing in sports, people actually underestimates this. Being in shape for a season and not getting tired, that takes a while, and a lot of running and working out.

[toad]

I love how he isn't incredibly biased towards his son,

[kennyp]

I remember growing up in a prominently black neighborhood and my teachers showed this movie all the time when we had nothing to do

[nasaveiro]

The best coach, hes the realist mvp and im talking about the real story its based on. Saved his familt, cared for others and wanted wants best for them and their safety. Wish we had real ones like that now!

[ramkazma]

i love when Damien passes the ball to Worm.. Damien says "Worm" and then Worm's like "yo yo" absolutely hilarious this guy

[ryans]

You can accomplish anything when you come together as a team and show some respect

[paulguevara]

I like how they show u the coach really did put their conditioning up when the whole team is jogging back and the other team walking tired

[josephleon]

Why does Lyle never score a point in the whole movie though?

[oliverrando]

that dude who played damien hes like a very underrated actor but havent seen him in alot of movies except for in light it up

[ScottAchie]

In reality, those last four points would be so much more hype, and the crowd would be roaring

[Jokerz]

At 1:41, that was a terrible pass, you are up by 1 and you do not need to score. Why is he throwing a terrible pass to someone who is not even open?

[indranagarajan]

I had to go through so many vids to get one good coach carter clip
But now it’s changes
Thank you movieclips

[brentjansen]

0:30 I played college basketball with #25 on Hercules. His name is Brandon. The dude was a real baller

[joelhighlight]

One of the best movie I seen in a long time
