Alcoholic doper Steve Adler (Richard Lewis) is also a basketball coach fired from a high-profile college after losing championship games too many times. Now he is coach of a second-rate team in a second-rate backwoods town. He brings the team to the championship game and another chance to win–at basketball if not in life. This drama/comedy is just another rags-to-riches sports story going nowhere.
