:13:01
Do you know what Oilers
stands for?

:13:07
Sir?
:13:10
Know that you're not just
walking out on me.

:13:13
You're walking out on them.
:13:15
I had to beg you.
:13:19
And then I ran all those sprints.
:13:22
I did all that shit.
:13:24
I killed myself for you, sir,
to get back on the team.

:13:31
This is bullshit.
:13:55
You put a lock on the gym and forced
them to meet you in the library?

:13:58
- Are you crazy?
- Miss Garrison.

:13:59
I'm surprised you know
where my office is.

:14:02
Take the lock off that gym.
:14:03
My phone hasn't stopped ringing.
:14:05
Maybe someone on the other end
of that phone

:14:07
has a solution to our problem.
:14:08
Your intentions are good, Mr. Carter,
but your methods are a bit extreme.

:14:12
You painted an extreme picture.
:14:14
No one expects them to graduate,
no one expects them to go to college.

:14:17
So you take away basketball,
the one area of their lives

:14:19
- where they have some success?
- Yes, ma'am.

:14:21
And you challenge them
academically?

:14:23
- Yes, ma'am.
- And what if they fail?

:14:25
Then we've failed.
:14:29
Unfortunately, Mr. Carter,
both you and I know

:14:31
that for some of these kids,
this basketball season

:14:33
will be the highlight of their lives.
:14:37
Well, I think that's the problem.
Don't you?
