  • A rather predictable episode that doesn't make use the formula that occasionally made the series thought-provoking.

    "Mediocre"
    By Mac-Ale, Aug 19, 2008 Report Abuse
    Reeves has more than paperwork to worry about after being promoted to athletic chairman of Carver High School.

    There's not a lot of basketball action in this installment as the series focuses on the broken dreams of the bitter baseball coach. Of course the protagonists are familiar - a negro league player who was injured before his big break and is now a coach, Reeves stuck in the situation as the "friend" and new boss, the wife with the heart of gold, and the young street stickball player from Brooklyn who finally gets through to the diamond coach.

    I like the references to Marquette's uniforms, all of us in the 70s wanted basketball shirts that didn't "tuck in", and Howard does a good job as a man who doesn't want the position of "power". Sybil and the Willis are less effective, they play no unique role other than wanting to be rid of the problem coach.

    Generally, this episode is mostly a tried-and-true story of a person coming to grips with failed dreams but it doesn't take as much advantage of the unique school and sports setting as it could. As with many 70s series, it's also amazing to see how integrated the program is (with African American actors dominating here), but still, rarely examining or incorporating differences in racial attitudes. Pretty standard fare.moreless
