The third season begins with Coach Reeves visiting Bayside Queens , New York, for his 20th high school reunion and reuniting with old friends, including a high school teammate, an old girlfriend, and his father, whose health is failing. Prior to his leaving, he gets a surprise: Jim Willis has left and Sybil Buchanan is now Carver High School principal!

While Coach was the defining character of White Shadow, an episode entirely based on him seemed at most times very weak. However, the episode still was impressive with his dealing with a very well acted and believable irish father. Its impressive to see how the character has grown from his past, so in that regard this episode truly was strong in character development. However, this is probably one of my least favorite episodes of White Shadow because I love the players, and with their lack of involvement, it is clear that something is missing from the episode.
