:20:00
Yo, man, what you
trying to say, huh?

:20:02
Oh, we too good to shop at the
Goodwill and Salvation Army, is that it?

:20:05
- Yeah, I ain't that broke.
- This is crazy!

:20:08
A dress code and they have to sit
in the front row in class?

:20:11
- This is basketball, man!
- And basketball is a privilege, ma'am.

:20:16
If you want to play basketball
on this team,

:20:19
these are the simple rules
you have to follow

:20:21
if you want to enjoy that privilege.
:20:24
Now, if you decide
to follow these simple rules,

:20:28
I need you and the boys
to sign this contract.

:20:32
They can bring the contracts
to practice tomorrow.

:20:35
If you come to practice.
:20:38
I wanna thank you all for coming out
and showing your support,

:20:41
and I hope I have your support
the rest of the season.

:20:45
- Good night.
- Get up and leave like that?

:20:47
Look, I have a hard enough time
getting my nephew to...

:20:51
- How you gonna make them wear ties?
- I want the other coach back!

:21:06
It's one of your contracts, sir.
I've amended that contract.

:21:10
You require your players
to maintain a 2.3 grade point average.

:21:13
I've committed to maintaining a 3.5.
:21:16
You require ten hours of community
service, and I've committed to 50.

:21:19
Any unexcused absences, any other
disciplinary issues at school,

:21:23
you can nullify this agreement
and send me to any school you want.

:21:28
And how many days do I have
to consider this offer?

:21:31
None.
:21:32
The second page
is a letter you need to sign

:21:34
that confirms my withdrawal
from St. Francis.

:21:37
- They know I'm leaving.
- What?

:21:39
- You withdrew from St. Francis?
- I called Richmond.

:21:41
- They expect me there in the morning.
- You called Richmond?

:21:44
You should have spoken to me
about this.

:21:47
It was a personal choice for me.
:21:53
Well, I can fix all that in the morning.
:21:56
Sir, please listen.
All I wanna do is play for you.

:21:59
If I'm one of the top students
at Richmond,
