English Summary:

Coach Carter is a 2005 American biographical sports drama film directed by Thomas Carter. It's based on the true story of Richmond High School basketball coach Ken Carter (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson), who made headlines in 1999 for suspending his undefeated high school basketball team due to poor academic results. The story was conceived from a screenplay co-written by John Gatins and Mark Schwahn, who created the TV series One Tree Hill. The film also recycles a handful of plot devices from another television series, The White Shadow, which director Carter also co-starred in. The ensemble cast features Rob Brown, Channing Tatum, Debbi Morgan, and musical entertainer Ashanti.

In 1999, Ken Carter takes over the head coaching job for the basketball team at Richmond High School, having played on the team himself. Carter quickly sees that the athletes are rude, disrespectful, and in need of discipline. He hands the players individual contracts, instructing them to attend all of their classes, sit in the front row of those classes, wear dress shirts and ties on game days, refer to everyone (players and coach alike) as "sir", and maintain a 2.3 (C+) grade point average, among other requirements. Carter also asks the school staff for progress reports on the players' grades and attendance. He teaches them how to play a disciplined brand of basketball.

German Summary:

Basketball-Coach Ken Carter hat ein einfaches Motto: "Durchschnitt ist nicht genug!" Und diesem Motto folgt er rigoros. So kommt es, dass er trotz einer 13:0-Serie, sein bisher ungeschlagenes Team mitten in der Saison vom weiteren Training sowie den Spielen ausschließt. Sein Grund: die miserablen Schulnoten seiner Spieler. Seine Maßnahmen stoßen allerdings nicht gerade auf Begeisterung. Schulleitung und Eltern sind empört. Doch für den Coach gibt es Wichtigeres als den Basketball. Carter versucht vor allem die Zukunft seiner farbigen Schützlinge in die richtigen Bahnen zu lenken - mit Erfolg. Ein Großteil des Teams folgt seinem Rat und schafft den Sprung aufs College.
