:20:00
has been benched.
:20:01
The highly ranked Oilers have
a perfect season on the court,

:20:04
but some players were
in big trouble academically.

:20:07
And in an unprecedented move,
Coach Ken Carter canceled practice,

:20:10
locked the gym and sent his players
straight to the library.

:20:14
Now, at the start of the season,
:20:15
I understand you made all of
your players sign a contract

:20:18
before they could join the team.
:20:19
What exactly were the conditions
of that contract?

:20:22
The contract states that
the players must maintain

:20:24
a 2.3 grade point average
:20:26
and that the players must
attend all their classes

:20:28
and sit in the front row
of those classes.

:20:31
Well, Coach Carter, it's an
unusual strategy, and a risky one

:20:34
in a sense, in light of
your team's winning record,

:20:36
but I think there's gonna be a lot of
people out there pleased to learn

:20:39
that at least somebody still cares
about the concept of a student athlete.

:20:43
Thanks a lot for joining us today.
:20:51
I'm sorry to disturb you.
:20:52
I'm Coach Ken Carter of the Richmond
High School basketball team.

:20:55
Oh, yeah.
:20:56
I need to ask you a favor.
:20:58
My team is studying in the library,
and I've been trying to tell them

:21:01
that brains and beauty
are a perfect combination.

:21:03
Know what I'm saying?
:21:04
I mean, I'm Worm, baby.
:21:06
How would you like
to watch the Worm work?

:21:08
Hey, where did you get
that backpack?

:21:10
Watch out, Too Short.
:21:12
Why study earth science
or history or algebra?

:21:18
Getting good grades in those subjects,
combined with basketball skills,

:21:22
can get you into college.
:21:25
Girl, you should've bought it.
I would've worn it.

:21:37
You selfish son of a bitch.
You snake.

:21:40
- Miss...
- No, no, don't "miss" me, snake.

:21:43
Mr. Carter, you remember me?
:21:44
Now, after all the things that my son
has been through for your team,

:21:47
for you to go lock up
this gym like this, how dare you...
