"Coach Carter" is a sport-drama movie centers on Ken Carter (Samuel Jackson) who amidst of his success in life, comes back to his high school and coach basketball. His "student-athlete" philosophy, where being a student comes first before being an athlete, receives negative reactions from the school, and even from the state media. I really like this movie. For a long time, I wanted to see this movie. 6 years of waiting worth it. :) The story is very touching. I was hooked with the argument between what is really a student-athlete should prioritize.
