Sam Rockwell stars as Bill, the newly appointed coach of a high school's girls basketball team. Bill is divorced with a teenage daughter and their relationship is rocky. The girls on the team have some talent but have never really trained as a team. Bill rather coach boys basketball and takes the job halfheartedly. The girls sense this and give him attitude. During the course of the season, Bill gets to know the girls and develops an appropriate coach-player with each of the girls. The team, very predictably, start winning games. Just as life is getting better, Bill is pulled over for DUI. The principalh fires him and bars him from attending the games. Bill and the assistant coach look for ways that Bill can still coach. Will the girls win the sectionals?
Sam Rockwell gives a great performance as the struggling underachiever who responds to the girls caring about him. The girls, in return, look to their coach to become the best players they can be. This movie is predictable and I didn't care for the language from both the coach and the girls, it was crude and vulgar. I did enjoy the developing relationship that was warm and caring.
