Yes he was also he was a real hard ass at times how ever he pushed us to become better players and succeed in life he was a role model for me and father figure
The movie had his banners read '71' and '72' but he played in 75-77. I played against him in March of 1977, I guarded him and fouled out by the middle of the 2nd qtr. He was quick and had serious handles.
This movie touched me as a trouble talented child growing up in a rough environment! My coach showed us this movie after we made the tryouts! We went to win conference lost in the sectional championship! We changed the community !! We gave hope to generations after us! Thanks for your story Ken Carter!!! 10 yrs later!
THIS MOVIE MADE ME CRY AND THE REAL MAN CARTER IS BLOODY INSPIRATIONAL!!!! Also SAMUEL JACKSON played his character so well. I actually cried when he came back to the gym (where’s he’s about to pack up his things) only to see his students studying with their tutors 😭😭❤️❤️😩😩😩😩
It is not the end result, but the journey. I loved it when he called his players down about humiliating the other team. To bad more coaches don't teach that. Win and lose with class.
He still shoots the hoops at Baylor / lives right down the street. He's quite something...still looks 40 stays in great shape...sure is fun to talk to...great video man !
@@whoa-there Yes he's into all kinds of things / Motivational Speaking, Real Estate, even Hand Sanitizer Still has the garden at the school gives away lots of stuff to people / He still pushes me to be better faster Just his nature...Thanks
This Film's so Inspiring. My favorite film as 'Basket Ball' not only being my favourite sport but also a very good message. Get educated no matter how Famous, Popular, or, Glam you are. Manner, Discipline, And, Education is what's needed.
Grew up around the area and went to summer school at Richmond High. You could tell he made an impact over there by the way people talked about him. Actually, he was kind of a hero in Richmond period.
BLESS Him..He was right, Giving young men discipline, and a chance to go behind just being an athlete, but getting a fulfillment education...My father taught my sister and I that discipline, respect, and being honorable will help us be productive adults..We both Graduated College with honors..I Respect EVERYTHING this Man stands behind!!!❤❤❤❤
i was a student @ richmond high back in the 80s an i was also worked there i remember chris dixon and all the other team mates and i remember coach didnt let them play cuz of sum grade issues
I love this movie but as a Richmond native the movie tried to make it seem like Richmond was just one big hood when its not. There’s central, narf (north), deep central (deep c), and the southside which is divided af majority of dudes from north were going to Richmond high
Darn, he did have 7 sisters! Wow, how awesome, God bless them all. I thought it was part of the joke that he's had a sister for every play they were learning in the movie
That would be something I'll admit would be an extremely good idea, the question is tho is who is gonna play Sam's character, that being of course Coach Carter
A society without real men, gray haired, season, wise hardworking men that can be role models for the youngster is bound to fail. It is hard to be something you have never seen
Do you ever wonder who Ty Crane??......The real Ty Crane that was shown in the movie, was no other than the Center of the Charlotte Bobcats......Tyson Chandler
I was a varsity athlete myself (football), we never had to dress up on game day, and to this day I've never understood why some coaches make players do that.
I think...for boys growing up in the hood..in a bad neighbourhood..wearing a jacket and tie on game day..changes the way they think of themselves..it may work positively for them.. maybe with another bunch..it may not be necessary.
Amazing how old posts are for this video. It's almost back from the days of teachers, coaches and parents that cared. Before "timeouts" were a thing and the planet never needed dr phil, steve wilkos, the police, lawyers or jerry springer to deal with fucked up kids. There are still a lot of GREAT teachers and coaches, but the parents are fucking that up, too. I am almost 50 and I still call my friends parents Mr or Mrs and have teenage daughters who do great academically, but I take as much pride in people that tell me how well mannered and polite they are.
I remember i was 8 9 old when they talk about this coach tv news (RTBF)for lock down in Bruxelles in Belgium and i was in Kinshasa for vacation When i saw for the first time the film about this coach i have directly think about that sequence on TV news. NOW im prefect education and i can say my parents made me aware of the fact that sport was not everything All my students watched your cursus Thank you
Awesome Movie, but would like to see real footage of the media when this happened! And also would like to see more about how the school is doing now. And if they still have a sports program. As I am hearing more and more schools do not because of stupid ass budget cuts. Movies like this inspire me to want to make a difference. But I'm just a Lil white girl from Oregon. And honestly do not have a clue about what life is like for these kids! It's time that America wakes the fuck up:) just sayin
@@TheRealDealListenup how can i get in contact with you ? I want to make a Video about coach carter for my RU-vid channel. Im from germany so sry if my english is not perfect
