Kenny Williams: Then you tell me why I'm pissed off.
Annie Shorty: Because you're a black man in America.
Kenny Williams: That's right. I'm good and pissed off.

can coach and the team learn from each other?

The only name I recognize is tim daly, and he's waaaaaay down in the cast list as leroy. This is a true story of a high school teacher who is persuaded to coach the basketball team.... the girls team. On a reservation. Challenging. James mcdaniel plays the new coach, but is probably best known for nine years of nypd blue. Can coach and the girls learn from each other? And can the team win? Some jokes as the various groups throw jabs at each other. It's mostly a good story. Some weirdness ... the coach arrives in town with high standards and understanding, but loses his cool later and doesn't respect the indian ways. Everyone has flaws, but it didn't feel consistent. Like mother tsosie says, our flaws keep our feet on the earth. Directed by chris eyre. Written by willy holtzman. Cute story! Good to see first americans telling their story.
