A warm, character-driven sports dramedy about redemption and unlikely mentorship, where a flawed coach learns as much from his teenage players as they learn from him.
After getting ousted from his job in the NCAA for throwing a chair at a referee, a hothead men’s basketball coach Marvyn Korn must take a job at Westbrook School for Girls, a private all-girls high school, in an effort to redeem what's left of his career and reputation.
