Comedy, Drama, Sport / TV-Series (2021)
After being fired from his job at the NCAA for throwing a chair at a referee, Marvyn Korn, a nervous boy basketball coach, must find a job at Westbrook School for Girls, a private girls’ high school, to save his career and reputation. At first, Marvyn sees the Westbrook players as just X’s and O’s, as a mere pitstop on his road back to college ball. At the same time, the girls don’t take themselves seriously as a team, and the Westbrook community as a whole is nothing but hostile toward him.
Calm and patient Marvyn Korn discovers that young girls need real mentoring and real care. By discovering how to connect with his players and by cultivating more empathy and vulnerability, Coach Korn starts to grow into the man he’s always secretly hoped to be… and the father he never had. Meanwhile, the girls learn to take themselves more seriously, rising to Marvyn’s standards of excellence and finding their footing both on and off the court.
