Hoops
It's ball or nothing.
Created by Ben Hoffman
On Netflix
A brash, high-energy adult comedy about a delusional basketball coach chasing redemption through his dysfunctional team, built on irreverent humor rather than warmth.
A foul-mouthed high school basketball coach is sure he'll hit the big leagues if he can only turn his terrible team around. Good luck with that.
