Principal Garrison : So you take away basketball, the one area of their lives where they have some success?
Coach Ken Carter : Yes, ma'am.
Principal Garrison : And you challenge them academically?
Coach Ken Carter : Yes, ma'am!
Principal Garrison : And if they fail?
Coach Ken Carter : Then WE've failed!
Principal Garrison : Unfortunately, Mr. Carter, both you and I know that for some of these kids, this basketball season will be the highlight of their lives.
