Coach Carter is a real true story about a business owner, education activist and former high school basketball coach Ken Carter who was an all-star Basketball athletic and gifted student. Back when Mr. Carter was a high school basketball coach at Richmond High School, he locked out his undefeated team for not honoring academic and behavioral contracts. While the community was outraged at first, public opinion eventually changed, and Carter was praised for his determined emphasis on prioritizing good values for his team. Mr. Carter expresses his pride that the team came together to persevere, give themselves options, and achieve the "ever elusive victory within." This is a message everyone should know the same with the schools help every one of them in the right path. Even when it's hard or impossible to understand those difference, that's someone's choice to want to move forward with better goals in life.

A few scenes you probably should skip but it's a brutaly honest and acurate story that should be shown far and wide. As if the whole thing being baced on true events wasn't powerful enough, they also recite a few lines from the poem, "Our Greatest Fear" which fits perfectly and deserves notice on its own.

I thought that this was a good movie and at first thought it was a true story. But anything Samuel L. Jackson is in is usually a great movie he can do it all serious, ACTION (MCU), & great comedy. Oh also that lady Christine that gave the movie a bad right up learn how to spell I couldn't even understand what you said you didn't like.
