Based on a true story, Coach Carter follows Ken Carter as he returns to coach basketball at his old high school in Richmond, California. Frustrated by his players' attitudes and poor academics, he implements a strict code—complete with written contracts, a dress code and higher classroom standards—and turns the team into a winning squad. When many players fall short in their grades, Carter makes the controversial decision to suspend all team activities and lock the gym, sparking outrage from students, parents and the community. The film explores the clash between short-term success and long-term values as Carter fights to teach his players responsibility, discipline and the importance of education for their futures.
