Movie Description Brooklyn phys-ed teacher Phyllis Saroka (Rhea Perlman) is stuck in a rut. Coming off of a string of failed relationships, with little money to her name, she takes on the job as the boys' varsity basketball coach--despite knowing very little about the game. Hoping to stow away enough money to eventually open a restaurant in St. Croix, Phyllis takes the job strictly as a means to make some cash--and because no one else wanted to do it. The team is initially distrustful of her, but as she gets to know the players, and each of their personal problems, she is able to overcome their skepticism and open hostility. .
