Far worse than "Glory"

The U.S. basketball team used to exclude black players, a tradition that is unimaginable. So, the coach who was able to play the college basketball league with an all-black lineup at that time was really groundbreaking, and he must have encountered a lot of trouble. This film tells such a story.
I watched this movie for Josh Lucas, but I thought he was too handsome and not tough enough, and he was not a rough and dignified coach like Don Huggins. The black actors used in the film did not look very distinctive, and the plot did not give enough foreshadowing, so that I did not know who was against whom until I watched the whole film.
As an inspirational film, the plot of the film is also somewhat scattered. Not only are the coaches defying all opinions, but also the players are self-improving, and the players are disdainful of violating the coach's regulations, and the society rejects black players. These plots are independent. I really don't know what theme the film is trying to express. Moreover, there is almost no depiction of the opposing team in the film, so it is difficult to feel too excited after winning the game.
It is also the white pioneer who led the black team to win the respect of the world. This film is far worse than "The Glory". It is almost possible to write down the shortcomings of the comparison and put them on the film teaching materials for teaching use.

    Two hours to talk about a season, the narrative is a bit fast.
