it is time to tell Coach Petey Bell|to take a hike.

If your footwork is here and this|is open. you're trying to rotate.

he's got all the room in the world.|But if you lock here...

Now try to go this way. Steve.

See? But if you got this foot back.|here. set the screen like this.

now I'm trying to rotate.|I can't get there.

But if I set this foot in here|and I rotate. I'm here.

Tony. son. it's footwork.

All right. let's go. Let's go.

Got that?

Spin and roll.|Hit and spin.

Move right to the basket.

Free throws!

- Tony! Tony. come here.|- What's up. coach?

You've been looking down lately.|What's going on?

- How you doing in your classes?|- Well. actually. I'm flunking a class.

- You're flunking a class? What class?|- TV.

TV? How can you be flunking TV?

Coach. that's a tough class.|You don't just watch the tube.

How's it going with that little girl?

Oh. man. she's cool. She's not|pregnant after all. It's all right.

Now. remember.|you've got a responsibility there.
