Kenny Ray Carter, Richmond
High School all-American, 1972.

:04:09
Good to see you, sir.
:04:10
I was really happy to see you
in the stands tonight.

:04:13
I have to tell you, sir,
I haven't made up my mind yet.

:04:17
As I've told you,
it's time for me to step down.

:04:20
Last few years
have been really tough.

:04:22
Well, losing's hard, sir.
:04:26
This isn't about
losing games, Kenny.

:04:30
I can't get them to show up
for school, for practice.

:04:34
I can't get parents involved, and I'm
done chasing kids in the streets

:04:37
and pulling them into the gym.
:04:39
Yeah, it's a tough job.
:04:41
Richmond is a tough little city.
:04:43
When I saw you here tonight,
I thought, "I got him. He's in. "

:04:46
Well, actually,
I was here for another reason.

:04:49
My son plays for St. Francis.
:04:52
He does?
:04:54
- Which kid was he?
- Well, you didn't see him.

:04:57
- He's a freshman. He didn't play.
- That's great. Great school.

:05:01
What, you wanna go?
:05:05
- Hey!
- Lyle, bring it!

:05:07
Let him go. You think everybody's
scared of you? I ain't scared of you!

:05:10
Cruz, chill, man. Why you gotta be
trying to act all hard all the time, man?

:05:15
God, I'm sick of you, man!
:05:19
You know, that school was rough
when I went there.

:05:22
It's way beyond that now.
:05:24
Well, then, just forget about it.
Don't even discuss it again.

:05:27
I can't quite do that. Coach officially
offered me the job tonight.

:05:31
The clock's ticking.
:05:33
And when you say "offering job,"
there's usually money involved.

:05:36
Yeah, there might be
a thousand bucks in it for me.

:05:39
For five months of work?
:05:41
Oh, well, you can't say no to that.
:05:44
And the team, it's so bad.
:05:46
Those boys,
they're so angry and undisciplined.

:05:49
And besides, you know,
you don't have the time.

:05:51
You're trying to open up
a second store.

:05:53
Exactly, I don't have the...
Hell, I don't have any time.

:05:55
And you promised to take
your girlfriend to Mexico.

:05:57
And I'm definitely
keeping that promise.

:05:59
There's no way
I'm not going to Mexico
