This man actually gave these boys a future, and these boys fought for it the hardest they can and achieved thier rightful places in society. What a damn good story...
Cyber Yots you have God and religion confused! But many people do. You can’t associate God/Jesus with religion! He’s so much bigger than that. He should get the credit because He’s the One that made you and graced you to do certain things. You would have to know Him to understand what I’m saying, but I’m telling you, He’s bigger than religion. The Creator of all deserves to be uplifted and glorified🙌🏾
I’m 13, in eighth grade. Basketball is my life, and I will do anything to succeed, and coach carter just changed my life. My grades have been slipping, to the point where for the first time in my life, I had an F. We had a home game today, but I couldn’t play. From now on, I’m never EVER going to put basketball before my education after watching this documentary about this hero of a coach. Thank you so much, coach Carter. edit: i should probably delete ts but if u guys wanted an update, i’m 15 about to be 16 now, i wrestle and i’m good as fuck at it and yeah i’m in a terrible place rn😭😭 thank u for your support
To hear this coming from a young fella like yourself is priceless 💯 the sky is a limit for you...keep that mindset and keep understanding that you’re bigger than just basketball 👌🏾
If all coaches and students approach "school and education" like this... where high school sport is second to education... we will be able to compete globally again...
If you’re talking about the US, then you seem to be doing well globally in sport and business. The losses you take are not due to education, it’s due to ruthless socialism using capitalist ideas against itself.
Exactly how my HS Basketball coach was.... We were a group of section 8 / project kids and this coach from Saginaw Mi came to my HS and changed everyone's mindset. I received a 4 year scholarship to Iowa.
I find everything he does so inspirational. I remember at one point in the movie the principal or someone came up to him and said, "you want to challenge them academically?" I was just blown away by what I heard. I was like "Duh!"
That's what coaching is all about -- it's an educational thing. The coach must teach the kids how to play the game, how to act properly in class, respect their school officials and teachers
its a near impossible thing what coach carter did. he sacrifice a lot of his time for nearly nothing, and also got a lot of hate along the way. he had almost no support. not many people is willing to do that for other people's kids. that's why its so inspirational what he did
Crazy what he did for them. Taught them self discipline and that sports aren't everything and to think about their future or they might be apart of the bad statistics
"Nothing is impossible to those that believe". I've seen the movie "Coach Carter" it is remarkable! If anybody tell you something can't be done after hearing what they need to do to accomplish it. Leave those people behind and go accomplish what task that was put before you. It is not you who will accomplish the task at hand. But God who is helping you to do it. Negative thoughts or negative people has never accomplished anything but negativity! Remember that.
They were so lucky to hav coach carter in their life.. What would the students become if coach carter didnt came in and change their life.. Very inspirational story... Love the movie😁😁
My pops benched me freshman year. I was playing varsity football and baseball. His deal was 2.5 or better. Made me watch my team lose. From the stands. I put my effort into my grades 1,000%. Coaches were calling my pops and saying that according to the rules, I was allowed to play. My pops said no. "That's not the deal I have with my son". I got my grades up and never tested my dad again. I have a good life because my dad set standards. Thank you, dad!
A great man. Steered his team away from do-or-die mentality. Those who were exceptional and who liked it and wanted to go NBA way could still do it. But those who for any number of reasons couldn't or wouldn't, got to work themselves up to a decent living all the same.
this movie was awesome! I think its great that he cared about the players and their education cuz they can do whatever they put their minds to and he taught them that!!!!! :) thanks for posting
Did they ever get funding back into athletics? Coach Carter did an amazing job. It's hard to set standards for a community with a certain mindset. Anyone has the potential to be great. At time you need to create the example when there is none. You go Coach Carter!
Chilling! A chilling insight into human relations! Sends shivers through me... then again, I'm Trench Town (that's Bob Marley's Trench Town!), Cambridge University, MIT, PhD and a academic career. Retired now...
That probably was just an over exaggerated sequence of events that the filmmakers put into the film because I suppose it's a coming of age movie, why not show the youngsters having fun and all but then again that's just me
Ive decided this year at 2023 to finally finish my History Education Degree. Real stories like this makes a difference. If you are Christian please pray for me.
Every teacher, coach and other school employee of any level should be like this. It's not about the grades per se, it's about the effort you put into things, the steps you take for your own future, the ambitions and goals you put forward for yourself AND about being realistic about it too. It's great to want to be a famous basketball player, but not every person out there gets what they want and you need to have a second option if it doesn't work out. One of these young men decided to be a doctor, they chose to focus on tings that matter and aim for successful futures, jobs, lives. It's important for every child out there, every teenager. He changed so many lives for the better. This is how it should be.
Black men listen to me, if these fellas can make it, so can you!!!!!! Get off the streets, forget the guns and drugs and do something amazing with your life!!! Go to school and fellow your inner passion!!
Why bring colour into it? You make it sound so bad! It's not to do with colour it's to do with putting in the work, that's the point Ken carter was trying to make, you obviously missed the memo.
I know some liberals that need to watch this and understand the truth that nothing is free and you have to work hard for success. Thank you coach Carter.
"He really didn't have the support of the so-called educators." That was spot on! Anyone who puts athletics above education and then has the nerve to call himself or herself an "educator" doesn't even deserve to have that job! Oh, wait a minute, did I just rip on a good portion of our school system? If I did, I'm not in the least bit sorry!
With the whole thing about how he had 7 sisters and incorporated what he learned from them into his school, I wish more people in the black community saw and took away a lot from this movie. Not necessarily everything they covered, but it alluded to a lot of life lessons if not talked about directly. Like if you love your mama and sisters you'd hopefully, logically, have much respect for women the same age as you in your community/school because you'd be very careful how you treat them if you cared about how your sisters and mother were being treated bad- do you have a father? No. Then don't get a girl pregnant and run off. It's just hypocritical to hate someone and follow their footsteps. It SHOULD be a lesson to learn from but instead it's an excuse to do the same thing. So shout out to the many, but unfortunately (for the people they've hurt along the way) not the majority that made a mistake but stuck by. And please, even if you don't have a relationship with your mother, good or none, this still applies to you if someone who should be in your life isn't and you wish they weren't like that but respected you and loved you. And the same goes for girls- please learn from others around you's mistakes. I know it can be extremely hard to not be influenced by the peer pressure, boyfriend's pressure, reputation/ego to not be a goody-2-shoes virgin but instead the girl everybody loves, etc. But the girl everybody loves is only for the night, and then they forget about you most likely, babe :(. In MOST ALL cases. So try your hardest to love and respect yourself by not giving in.(Because then he will love and respect you too. Set an example and standards or else there are none, unless he's a great guy to begin with, but then there wouldn't be this pressure.) I know you feel like he'll leave if you don't satisfy him, but think hard and realize, no matter how sweet he is and how much you two love spending time with eachother and laugh etc, the priorities: do you want a man who's only with you because you're giving him some and the laughing and cuddling and talking isn't good enough, or do you want to FIND the man who will stand by you otherwise??? And for those where it's 100% consensual and this doesn't apply to you, think about the consequences of having a baby at such a young age. With or without a father is a terrible situation. But especially without the father. Whether he just couldn't handle it, wanted to but couldn't, is a piece of shit and never wanted to help out anyways and you knew it but wanted to believe different, was tricking you the whole time, is chasing a different better life, you thought you could change his desire to stay, or a baby would make him STAY irreleveant completely to the actual relationship problem, etc. Or think about your religion. I know this at least applies in christianity, where although if you are truly sorry for your sins and ask God to forgive you and make efforts and actions to not continue it then you will be forgiven and enter His kingdom someday- which you will NOT do if you don't follow his word, the bible says that sex before marriage is a great offense, so to say without quoting, to both people involved. So please ask for forgiveness if you love god and want to be an angel someday, because just because you've sinned doesn't mean you will not go to heaven. But if you aren't religious, please consider all of the other reasons mentioned in order to have the maximum amount of happiness, love for yourself and from others- especially a boyfriend whether or not he's right for you, respect for yourself and by the ones that matter, and character in your life.
21 21 Those parents were fools. My boy is 16 and he got scouts? Your damn boy cant maintain a C lol tge priorities are the big problem. No one cares about education and its become an execuse for why their kids are slinging dope joining gangs buying jordans and rims instead of getting a real job.
To all these commenter saying that we need or they want more people like Coach Carter, I want to remember one thing: there are plenty of people out there that could and would do what he did. The problem is there are too many woke and liberal people that will not let it happen because being like coach Carter requires two very important things. Being a Godly person and tough love. Wokes and liberals will not let educators of any kind be that way because that kind of person puts a stop to kids becoming like the wokes and the liberals. That's just the truth.
This Lockout saved countless lives from a suspected tragedies and that's why it is so true that you might hate something but deep down it's for your own good and you might love something but it is bad for you.
lool haha god bless coach carters mother 'if it was one'a my kids it woulda been a bit difrent' lool. good man bless mr carter n his fam. i admire the sense of family value they have
When I was in school I had substitute teachers who kept us all in class during lunch and recess whenever they see one of us misbehaving I use to get mad about that cuz I keep myself outta trouble I just do whatever my teachers ask me to do but if this is a way to increase large amounts of graduates this is something not to argue with because when I got through junior high school we had 30% of us that graduated. During high school I did wrestling and we competed against Edison high school but we won by default because Edison wrestling team lost a lot of team members due to their grade point average and only 2 of them were allowed to wrestle in the duel match.
naw,i haven't really looked but one of the players from the real team was Courtney Anderson who ended up being a tight end in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders and a couple other teams but he didn't play that long. From what I have heard Battle in the movie is supposed to be Anderson
You see… nowadays its different. They are pressing college soo much so that these kids are mostly pressed to either fail or succeed. There is no in between. College nowadays isnt even a good viable option anymore. College is nothing but a scam for most kids that don’t have money. Back then, going to college would have been a good idea. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Thats why they pressed it so hard. Because most kids in those cities didnt have opportunities to go to college because of the backgrounds that they came from, but since their coach expected more from them, they ended up being great and going to college and actually exceeding in every standard of the word.
There was an episode of 7th Heaven that was based on this. Mary and her basketball team were locked out because of their grades. But, Mary and her teammates ended up vandalizing the school. Dumb move.
i do not work in education, but have many family members and friends that do, from coaches, professors, doctors, principals and superintendents. I have coached my kids teams, as well, and the one thing that is ALWAYS a fact of life is that if the kid is a pain in the ass, failure, criminal, dipshit, smartass or general loser... the parents let it happen. Granted, some kids are bred by morons, druggies or idiots, but I hope that kids find a better way. Bless Ken Carter for making a difference.
ya i don't think so either because chandler went to high school in Compton,he might of just been added in for the movie and isn't based on anyone possibly.
"When the coach has a higher academic standard than the school board, that's a problem". TRUTH.
no its really a problem that the parents care more about the game than the grades, a good parent would have stood by Coach Carter

It was like that for me and middle school and high school
@MUFC you're a part of the problem.
It was like that for me in school. The coaches were hardcore strict on their athletes.
If you’re talking about the US, then you seem to be doing well globally in sport and business.
The losses you take are not due to education, it’s due to ruthless socialism using capitalist ideas against itself.
Any man who sticks to his rules or principles will be respected
Nothing but respect for this man. The world needs more coaches like Coach Carter.
The country needs more school administrators and teachers and coaches like Coach Carter.

WHEN YOU SAY STUDENT ATHLETE, STUDENT COMES FIRST! best coach! and samuel jackson - great actor! coach carter - best movie!
The real 1999 Richmond Oilers:
Damien Carter, Courtney Anderson, Chris Dixon, Marvin Miranda, Wayne Oliver, and Chris Gibson
+DJBlack909 soooo, only Damien has his name in the movie
Afraid so. More players from the 1999 Squad: Lionel Arnold and Kao Saechao
DJBlack909 u forgot junior battle,worm,timo Cruz,Kenyon stone and Jason lyle
No, ItzThiefPlayz. I forgot no one. The guys in the movie (excluding Damien) were all fictional names

They fail because you don't expect anything of them.
coach carter is the man, and samuel L jackson did an awesome job playing him in the movie
I wonder why we all love and admire people like Coach Carter, but there's a few in this whole world. I just wonder.

The parents and school board owe coach carter an apology for likely saving these mens lifes
what an inspirational story. loved the motion picture. cheers to coach carter.
Why can't all coaches and teachers have even half coach carters determination and effort to teach ! Would be a beautiful thing 😍👍

In the same vein as Lean On Me. Paterson is the equivalent to Richmond

There was an episode of 7th Heaven that was based on this. Mary and her basketball team were locked out because of their grades. But, Mary and her teammates ended up vandalizing the school. Dumb move.

i do not work in education, but have many family members and friends that do, from coaches, professors, doctors, principals and superintendents. I have coached my kids teams, as well, and the one thing that is ALWAYS a fact of life is that if the kid is a pain in the ass, failure, criminal, dipshit, smartass or general loser... the parents let it happen. Granted, some kids are bred by morons, druggies or idiots, but I hope that kids find a better way. Bless Ken Carter for making a difference.

The board was against it because under their rule, the students GPA were compliant to student-athlete grades. So, I don’t blame them.
@ben5leto "we don't like each other because we're too much alike" that was sick
He should have been made head of the Educational Board. Raise the bar. Then again a Rich America wouldn't want a Rich Richmond.
I wonder what happened to those 3 players who walked out the first day
