Plot Synopsis: Roy McCormick (Martin Lawrence) is a college basketball coach more famous for his temper than for his coaching ability. After one of his rages gets him banned from the sport, Roy takes a job coaching basketball at a middle school in an attempt to repair his reputation.

His relationship with local mom Jeanie (Wendy Raquel Robinson) is a good influence as well.
