:15:04
- Good morning, Coach Carter.
- Good morning.
:15:07
Quite the Pandora's box
you've opened.
:15:08
Oh, I get all the blame now?
:15:10
Let's just say I'm happy to give you
all the credit.
:15:13
I've got every news reporter in town
waiting to speak to you.
:15:16
Got a press conference set up
around the front of the gymnasium.
:15:19
Coach Carter has taken the lockout
to the next level
:15:21
by canceling last night's game.
:15:23
Richmond forfeited the game,
making it their first loss of the season.
:15:27
And for now,
the lock remains on the gym.
:15:29
Here he comes.
Here he comes now.
:15:31
Coach Carter! Coach!
Can I get a question?
:15:35
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to thank you for your patience.
:15:38
At this time, I'd like to introduce
Coach Ken Carter.
:15:41
You may direct
your questions to him.
:15:44
Mr. Carter, is it unfair to the players
whose grades qualify them to play?
:15:48
Basketball's a team sport, sir.
:15:50
We support each other
on and off the court.
:15:52
Anybody still think coach
bluffing now?
:15:55
I feel like running right up
in the middle of all those reporters
:15:58
and telling them I think this
is bullshit, son.
:16:00
Maybe you should've gone
to class, Lyle.
:16:03
Maybe you should kiss my ass, dog.
My grades are fine, homeboy.
:16:05
- It's Junior they should've locked out.
- Maybe Junior will kick your ass out.
:16:08
- Why don't you try spelling it, then.
- Chill, chill, chill, man. Damn.
:16:12
- Junior, if you need help, I'll tutor you.
- Man, I don't need no help.
:16:15
Well, he ain't lock us out
for no reason.
:16:18
We been tripping lately, man.
All y'all know it.
:16:20
How do you think the community's
gonna react to this lockout?
:16:22
I'm not really sure. I hope
they'll support these young men.
:16:26
What, man?
:16:28
No, man, it's just funny, dog,
because, Junior, man,
:16:30
you thought it was bad all us knew
your dumb ass was failing science.
:16:33
Now the whole world about to know
your dumb ass failing science.
:16:36
- Man.
- Hey, man.
:16:40
And you have Fremont this Saturday,
the biggest game on your schedule.
:16:43
Now, Richmond is gonna riot
if you forfeit that game.
:16:47
Saturday is a long way off.
:16:49
We'll see what happens.
Thank you all for coming.
:16:51
That's all the time I have right now.
I have to get back to work.
:16:54
Coach, have you talked to any
of the parents?
:16:57
Thank you for your time,
ladies and gentlemen.
:16:59
I'd like to remind you that classes
are in session,
