Overview

Richard Lewis plays coach Steven Adler, a one time high profile division one college basketball coach haunted by the demon of having lost five championship titles. Now he finds himself wasting away in a slack-jawed, low profile town coaching a second rate college program. Once again, he has miraculously brought this unlikely team to the finals. As his behavior on the day of the championship game indicates, he is far more successful at the game of basketball than the game of life. The question remains: if he finally wins the big game, will Coach Adler get his life back on track or is he already too far gone... ?

Definitely not your average sports comedy. Basketball sequences are really cool, shot with energy and interesting angles. The story is pretty dark, and there's a shocking twist. Richard Lewis does a good job balancing burnt out loser and inspirational(?) coach. Surprised to see Kenny Albert in here, and also Greg Griraldo makes an appearance (full cast list at www.gamedaythefilm.com)
