00:
00:16,683 -- 00:00:18,844

Man:

Most of y'all have played for me before,

2

00:
00:18,918 -- 00:00:24,447

so you know I don't claim to be

some basketball guru.

3

00:
00:24,524 -- 00:00:28,221

My playbook is downright simple.

4

00:
00:28,294 -- 00:00:32,788

Only five set offensive plays...

5

00:
00:32,866 -- 00:00:35,596

five.

6

00:
00:35,668 -- 00:00:37,226

Now believe it or not,

7

00:
00:37,303 -- 00:00:40,636

we can go all the way

with just those five plays.

8

00:
00:42,008 -- 00:00:45,842

We're gonna practice

those plays 1000 times.

9

00:
00:45,912 -- 00:00:48,745

We're gonna practice 'em

till they are part of your...

10

00:
00:48,815 -- 00:00:50,407

your DNA.

11

00:
00:50,483 -- 00:00:52,974

All you boys need are three things.

12

00:
00:55,021 -- 00:00:56,852

One, execution.

13

00:
00:56,923 -- 00:01:01,951

Two, cohesiveness...

14

00:
01:02,028 -- 00:01:06,761

which is just another fancy word

for teamwork.

15

00:
01:06,833 -- 00:01:10,291

You must learn to act as one unit

16

00:
01:10,370 -- 00:01:12,463

on both ends of the court.

17

00:
01:14,507 -- 00:01:16,771

One finger can't pick up a pebble.

18

00:
01:16,843 -- 00:01:18,572

But one hand...

19

00:
01:18,645 -- 00:01:21,045

Boy:

Can move the Earth.

20

00:
01:21,114 -- 00:01:22,376

...can move the Earth.

21

00:
01:22,449 -- 00:01:25,577

Somebody was

listening to me last year.

22

00:
01:25,652 -- 00:01:27,347

That's good.

23

00:
01:27,420 -- 00:01:31,083

Three, effort.

24

00:
01:31,157 -- 00:01:33,318

You must bring it to every practice.

25

00:
01:33,393 -- 00:01:36,021

You must bring it to every moment,

26

00:
01:36,096 -- 00:01:38,587

to every second of every game.

27

00:
01:38,665 -- 00:01:42,101

You leave that out there

on that hard wood,

28

00:
01:42,168 -- 00:01:44,295

and win or lose,

29

00:
01:44,370 -- 00:01:47,828

you will never have to look

in the mirror and wonder,

30

00:
01:47,907 -- 00:01:52,674

"Did I do enough?"

31

00:
01:55,014 -- 00:01:57,312

We could have ourselves

a great year, fellas.

32

00:
01:58,885 -- 00:02:00,352

A great year.

33

00:
02:00,420 -- 00:02:06,154

But it all starts right here

and right now.

34

00:
02:06,226 -- 00:02:07,784

Let's get to the baseline!

35

00:
02:07,861 -- 00:02:09,795

- Let's go!

- All right, Coach.

36

00:
02:14,100 -- 00:02:16,330

Run, fellas. Run.

37

00:
02:17,403 -- 00:02:19,564

All right, Christian.

38

00:
02:24,077 -- 00:02:27,843

Where you at, Spence?

Where you at?

39

00:
02:32,819 -- 00:02:33,808

[Chattering]

40

00:
02:35,522 -- 00:02:38,457

All right, you know you

can't be on me like that.

41

00:
02:38,525 -- 00:02:40,550

You hear me?

42

00:
02:40,627 -- 00:02:44,222

What are the two of y'all doing kissing

out in the middle of everybody?

43

00:
02:44,297 -- 00:02:46,527

Christian, basketball first this year.

44

00:
02:46,599 -- 00:02:49,466

- Girls second, Coach, yeah.

- You got that, Courtney?

45

00:
02:49,536 -- 00:02:51,367

Yes, sir.

46

00:
02:51,437 -- 00:02:52,529

He knows me?

47

00:
02:52,605 -- 00:02:54,573

Of course he knows you, girl.

48

00:
02:54,641 -- 00:02:56,472

Boy:

Yo, come on, I got one.

49

00:
02:56,543 -- 00:02:57,805

Ball right here. Mismatch.

50

00:
02:57,877 -- 00:02:59,868

Come on, G, shake him up, man.

51

00:
02:59,946 -- 00:03:02,414

Come on, shake him up, Gary.

52

00:
03:02,482 -- 00:03:04,507

- You got it, Gary!

- [Groaning, cheering]

53

00:
03:06,186 -- 00:03:07,983

I hope you're having fun.

54

00:
03:09,856 -- 00:03:12,154

Wooo!

55

00:
03:12,225 -- 00:03:15,524

- [Rap music playing]

- The Louisiana High School

Athletic Association

56

00:
03:15,595 -- 00:03:17,495

would like to remind all players,

57

00:
03:17,564 -- 00:03:19,464

your forms must be filled out completely

58

00:
03:19,532 -- 00:03:21,056

before delivering them to station D...

59

00:
03:24,103 -- 00:03:27,561

[shouting]

Go on now, Randy. D him up, baby!

60

00:
03:27,640 -- 00:03:28,937

"D' him up!

61

00:
03:29,008 -- 00:03:32,136

- What up, Christian?

- It's good, JJ.

62

00:
03:32,212 -- 00:03:33,509

That's what I'm talking about.

63

00:
03:33,580 -- 00:03:35,810

Watch how Spence take

advantage of the white boy.

64

00:
03:37,951 -- 00:03:39,885

- [Groaning]

- Offensive foul.

65

00:
03:39,953 -- 00:03:41,477

Come on, Spence, you hooked me.

66

00:
03:41,554 -- 00:03:42,851

You're fronting.

That was clean.

67

00:
03:42,922 -- 00:03:45,220

Take it out, white boy.

68

00:
03:45,291 -- 00:03:47,122

Remember the good old days, Sam?

69

00:
03:47,193 -- 00:03:50,390

Oh yeah, man. Once you're a Patriot,

you're always a Patriot.

70

00:
03:50,463 -- 00:03:52,294

- [Laughs]

- Right, right.

71

00:
03:52,365 -- 00:03:54,230

Go on, put me

in the game, Coach.

72

00:
03:54,300 -- 00:03:56,564

You get rid of that broom,

I'll get you a ball.

73

00:
03:56,636 -- 00:03:59,332

- Don't get me started now.

- There you go.

74

00:
03:59,405 -- 00:04:01,373

Ohhh!

75

00:
04:01,441 -- 00:04:05,172

- Boy's money, Coach.

- You think?

76

00:
04:05,245 -- 00:04:09,181

- [Loud thud, grunting]

- [Shouting]

77

00:
04:11,217 -- 00:04:12,844

Poor ass East Bank busters.

78

00:
04:12,919 -- 00:04:15,183

Coach, I'm gonna get outta here.

79

00:
04:18,858 -- 00:04:21,122

Our boy Brian is a beast.

80

00:
04:21,194 -- 00:04:24,721

- How you making out, Collins?

- All right, Simmons.

81

00:
04:24,797 -- 00:04:26,856

You looking to win district

again this year?

82

00:
04:26,933 -- 00:04:30,494

It's a hard thing to repeat.

83

00:
04:35,341 -- 00:04:39,141

You looking to repeat 500?

84

00:
04:39,212 -- 00:04:40,338

No.

85

00:
04:40,413 -- 00:04:43,007

I'm looking to make a run at your team

86

00:
04:43,082 -- 00:04:45,243

for the district champs

this year. What you think?

87

00:
04:45,318 -- 00:04:47,878

[Chuckles]

88

00:
04:47,954 -- 00:04:50,013

Everybody got a dream.

89

00:
04:50,089 -- 00:04:53,058

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, baby.

90

00:
04:53,126 -- 00:04:55,321

That's a weak-ass dunk

you did over there, boy.

91

00:
04:55,395 -- 00:04:58,728

You talking about that

silly-ass dunk you did down there?

92

00:
04:58,798 -- 00:05:00,698

I'm talking to your b*tch-ass,

West Bank b*tch.

93

00:
05:00,767 -- 00:05:02,394

East Bank ass nigga.

94

00:
05:02,468 -- 00:05:04,595

[Shouting]

95

00:
05:07,674 -- 00:05:09,801

Get back!

Get back.

96

00:
05:10,843 -- 00:05:12,674

You all right, son?

97

00:
05:12,745 -- 00:05:14,975

I'm cool.

98

00:
05:15,048 -- 00:05:18,916

Collins, I'm sorry about that.

99

00:
05:18,985 -- 00:05:21,977

Just a little bit too much testosterone.

That's all it is.

100

00:
05:22,055 -- 00:05:26,253

Okay?

It's all right.

101

00:
05:26,326 -- 00:05:28,123

Come on.

Let's go, guys.

102

- Let's go.

103

00:
05:29,862 -- 00:05:33,855

- Let's go, come on.

104

00:
05:33,933 -- 00:05:36,766
