Rebound Page #3

Synopsis: Coach Roy once was college basketball's top mastermind. But lately his attentions have been on his next endorsements, not on his next game. What¹s more, Roy's temper has run amuck, leading to his being banned from college ball until he can demonstrate compliance--in other words, not explode every time he walks onto the court. Roy waits and waits; for a suitable coaching offer, but he receives only one: the Mount Vernon Junior High School Smelters basketball squad. Roy reluctantly accepts the offer, hoping that a few weeks at the school will prove his good intentions and restore him to his high-living ways as a celebrated college coach. But when old school meets middle school, Coach Roy doesn't know what hit him. It's not until Roy decides to teach his young charges some new concepts--like passing, rebounding, dribbling, and scoring--that the Smelters begin to find success and Roy finds something long thought lost: his love of the game.

Roy, don't you see it?

It's perfect. It's your old school.

Look, we accept their offer.

You work with these kids for a week.

They get a huge thrill out of it.

Duh!

You look like a saint...

and we get free P.R., which,

no offense, Roy, we desperately need.

In the meantime, it'll give me a chance

to land us a solid job offer.

- What offers do we have now?

- Hmm?

Doreen, this is

the supplemental budget.

Could you get me

the full budget, please?

Hon, that is the full budget.

Tim Fink, principal partner,

the Fink Agency. "Fink fast!"

Yeah. Mary Walsh...

principal,

Mount Vernon Junior H-

Whoo! Whoa! Wow!

Okay, it's Coach Roy.

Coach Roy is in the house.

Coach Roy is here. It's my house.

All right. Well, then, gentlemen-

Uh-oh!

Community service?

Did you get arrested for something?

We get more great

sports guys that way.

We're here to accept

your offer.

Yea! No idea

what you're talking about.

Your offer.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, my.

Oh, my goodness.

I-

Just-

S- Spelling error.

So you're telling me

that Roy McCormick...

wants to coach here?

Am I gettin' Punk'd?

Roy's gonna work

with your team.

They're gonna be coached

by the best of the best...

for absolutely-

wait for it- no charge.

Yeah, I wanna give back to the community.

You know, here's where I found

my first true love, which is basketball.

Well, teamwork.

So I guess that's two loves.

- Two loves.

- Mm-hmm.

That was very inspiring, Coach.

Well, uh, gosh, gentlemen.

I guess-

Follow me.

People. Apparently...

some of you have tried

to circumvent school policy...

and hire a new head coach

on your own.

Well, I'm impressed.

Without further ado,

please welcome your new head coach.

Wow.

They're really short.

Yeah, they're 13.

All right, well,

good luck, kids.

And, uh,

behave yourself.

Oh, we will.

I was talking to him.

Coach Roy, I'm a big fan.

I've seen all your commercials.

A couple things

I should warn you about.

Ralph here, for instance,

when he gets nervous, he pukes.

- You my assistant head coach?

- Real honor working with you.

Yeah, I appreciate it. Well, uh, why don't

you run and fetch me a patty melt?

Maybe one with your arms

around the kids having fun?

Yeah, sure thing.

Huh? Got it?

That's right.

Y'all look

basketball style.

- We're never gonna lose again.

- Yeah.

One Love's definitely on the way

to getting a shoe contract now.

- Yeah!

- How you feeling, Ralph?

Oh!

Oh! Priceless.

Y'all run some drills.

All right?

I'm gonna try to get

this guck off my shoe.

Excuse me,

Mr. Photographer.

- We don't know any drills.

- Or have any skills.

We'll just have to make some up then.

Come on.

Okay, great drill.
