Speaking of society I wonder how much money this documentary made vs the amount of money the Coach Carter movie made. Thank you for this documentary.

Love that the coach put academics first and taught students how to behave. Coach John Wooden was also about character, leadership, and what happened after basketball. To be good citizens and help each other!

Bro I thought they was in Virginia my whole freaking life

Channing corny af. He ain’t from the streets

Coach Carter zesty af 😅😅😅😅

I’m guessing the school board are the types that blame “white privilege” instead of holding themselves accountable? No?

Can't be that surprised look what our "educators " continue to do to the school systems

I love the movie coach carter

I try to watch Coach Carter at least once a year

lol mama we all know that difference! and that’s why we set a standard for our kids and future

Coach carter was in the right, when you hear how many of them actually went to college and got their degrees vs how many went “pro” coach carter set them up for real success instead of filling their heads with empty promises that would never be, more coaches and teachers need to be like him

Yeah I can see what's wrong with America. I can imagine these kids and NBA players have done the absolute minimum for the average Individual. To cool to sit with someone at a Rescueission. To cool to hang out with the lone individual in the Library. Kinda Gross and now I look at Some Professional Players differently. At least Elementary, Jr High and High School.

The most crazy part is that this be special. Where I grew up, going to college was a given and no one would have let any one of us skip classes to play sports. Ever. How these kids are let down with low expectations is heart wrenching. I salute the courage of Coach Carter for doing what is just common sense, but against the pressure of all the community. Great story.

My HS soccer coach was way way way way crazier than Coach Carter not even close , you had to have minimum 80 in all of your classes, even if your GPA was 3.9 and you had a 79.45 in one of your classes for just a progress report he would still punish you and like for at least 3 weeks , he would make us do seals 🦭 in 100+ degree wether over the turf while trash talking in our faces + you had to break a sub 5:30 minute mile , and do like 80 pushups in a minute or more punishments were coming , also made us do pencil rolls before seals to make us dizzy and many puked

It should always be academic first and athletics last.

5:21 the whole community is behind the team but didn’t care about them to be smart

2:45

In the 70’s I played a lot of basketball 🏀

You see… nowadays its different. They are pressing college soo much so that these kids are mostly pressed to either fail or succeed. There is no in between. College nowadays isnt even a good viable option anymore. College is nothing but a scam for most kids that don’t have money. Back then, going to college would have been a good idea. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Thats why they pressed it so hard. Because most kids in those cities didnt have opportunities to go to college because of the backgrounds that they came from, but since their coach expected more from them, they ended up being great and going to college and actually exceeding in every standard of the word.

Now why did they pick arnez to play his son

Thought it was Richmond, Virginia

Texas Battle looks identical to New York Yankee great, Mariano Rivera.

I wonder what happened to those 3 players who walked out the first day

I’m watching the movie right now and wanted to see if it was Real

The parents are so disappointing

Ive decided this year at 2023 to finally finish my History Education Degree. Real stories like this makes a difference. If you are Christian please pray for me.

Yaw see Coach C’s face when his mamma said she treated them differently when they misbehaved… lol you know she gave him some legendary whippings..😂😂

I love this movie so much but had no clue it was based on a true stor. DAMN......the world needs way more Coach Carters. Big respect, sir.

Those 3 kids thought they were hardcore and walked out. Where are they now?😂

I really thought he was just joking about his sisters in the movie lmao

Grew up around the area and went to summer school at Richmond High. You could tell he made an impact over there by the way people talked about him. Actually, he was kind of a hero in Richmond period.

It is not the end result, but the journey. I loved it when he called his players down about humiliating the other team. To bad more coaches don't teach that. Win and lose with class.

Samuel Jackson played this role perfectly

Cool

We made laws to protect minors, which is supposed to be great but at the same time, it also spoiled kids and that’s why many kids are bad and they end up growing up being bad parents.

Lol that Dixon kid feels like he still don't like coach carter.

My goodness he wasn't lying about the sisters when they said how many sisters does he have

“They WAS, almost dead last academically.” 😂 #were

people talking about oooo how terrible the educators are blah blah blah, bullshit, Carter himself said that the REAL problem, was the parents. You can only do as good as the parents, and at a certain point you can't throw out you entire student body so their hands are tied, the only reason Carter could do what he did was 1, all he was doing was limiting basketball, and 2, he only had a small group of kids to worry about. I don't say that to undersell it, Carter was awesome and he did great, and the admins really should have been on his side on account of the fact that the consequences didn't expand to the entire student body (would certainly make a hell of a disciplinary tool) but the origin of all the problems, is the parents, not the school board, the parents.

Class

My pops benched me freshman year. I was playing varsity football and baseball. His deal was 2.5 or better. Made me watch my team lose. From the stands. I put my effort into my grades 1,000%. Coaches were calling my pops and saying that according to the rules, I was allowed to play. My pops said no. "That's not the deal I have with my son". I got my grades up and never tested my dad again. I have a good life because my dad set standards. Thank you, dad!

How could his name be on the all American board at the high school for 1971, he was only 12 years old, in 7th grade

That ignorant woman screaming "basketball is all they got" is a large part of why basketball is all they have.

"Nothing is impossible to those that believe". I've seen the movie "Coach Carter" it is remarkable! If anybody tell you something can't be done after hearing what they need to do to accomplish it. Leave those people behind and go accomplish what task that was put before you. It is not you who will accomplish the task at hand. But God who is helping you to do it. Negative thoughts or negative people has never accomplished anything but negativity! Remember that.

This Lockout saved countless lives from a suspected tragedies and that's why it is so true that you might hate something but deep down it's for your own good and you might love something but it is bad for you.

I remember i was 8 9 old when they talk about this coach tv news (RTBF)for lock down in Bruxelles in Belgium and i was in Kinshasa for vacation When i saw for the first time the film about this coach i have directly think about that sequence on TV news. NOW im prefect education and i can say my parents made me aware of the fact that sport was not everything All my students watched your cursus Thank you

If all of those kids are succeeding then why did only 5 of them make the video

great movie!!

Nothing but respect for this man. The world needs more coaches like Coach Carter.

I loved the movie! The real Coach Carter is a cool and inspirational person! Samuel L. Jackson played him so well!
