Sadly, this one was a clunker. I found myself feeling just like Coach Reeves at the end; basically, wanting to yell at Coolidge to get off his fanny and buckle down and work. The dream sequences were kind of offbeat, too. The only redeeming thing I got out of this episode is that Coolidge is a lazy slunk who thinks being able to dunk a basketball is going to take him far. And, at the end, he's only interested in tutoring because his tutor is nice-looking. Nothing of substance to this one; this was definitely an episode they could have done without.
