简介——Introduction
Coach Carter is a 2005 drama film released by Paramount Pictures, and directed by Thomas Carter. The movie is based on a true story, in which Richmond High School (California, USA) head basketball coach Ken Carter, became famous in 1999 for benching his undefeated team due to poor academic results.

At the beginning of the movie, Coach Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) takes a part-time, low-paid job coaching the basketball team at his old high school, Richmond, California. At the start, the boys, non well educated and in a rebellion path, are unruly and disrespectful. Their team lost almost all of their games the previous season.

When Coach Carter arrives, he sets strict new rules for them. They have to maintain a 2.3 grade point average (C+), they have to attend classes and sit in the front row, they have to wear jackets and ties on game days. One of the boys, Cruz, walks out of practice on the first day after an altercation with Carter. We later see Cruz hanging with his older, drug-dealer cousin.

Under Carter's Leadership, the team starts playing well and winning games. Carter's son, Damien, a brilliant student who attends private school, quits it and transfers to Richmond High School to play basketball on his dad's team.

Another player, Kenyon, has a pregnant girlfriend, Kyra who has given up on her plans for college in favor of having the baby.

Cruz, seeing his mates winning games and have fun, wants to return to the team. But Carter doesn't want him back and challenge him to do a huge number of efforts and pushups in a week. As it was predictable, he doesn't succeed but his team-mates impress the coach by offering to do the rest of the suicides and pushups for Cruz.

Although the boys are winning games, Carter realizes that they are developing a bad attitude, they are becoming arrogant and taunt the other teams. Moreover, many of them don't fulfill his academic requirements (attending class and maintaining a 2.3 average).

In order to return to a normal situation, Carter lock them out of the gym. He cancels basketball practices and makes the team spend the practice time in the library, being tutored by some of their teachers.

This leads to a conflict with the parents and the school board; the board votes 4-2 to end the lockout. Carter is about to quit, but when he arrives at the gym to pack up his stuff, he finds the boys sitting at school desks, with their teachers tutoring them there. Heartened by this, Carter decides to stay.

Cruz has gone back to working for his drug-dealing cousin. One night, the cousin is gunned down on the street just in front of him. Fortunately, Cruz ends up at Carter's house that night; Carter brings him into his house, lets him back on the team, and pretty
