David Greene, Angestellter eines Delikatessen-Restaurants in New York, ist ein riesiger Basketball-Fan, der selber mal coachen möchte. Die Chance bietet sich ihm, als er das Angebot erhält, ein am Boden liegendes Team zu betreuen. Überraschenderweise gelingt es ihm, eine schlagkräftige Mannschaft zu formen. Doch die letzte Aufgabe gegen einen schier übermächtigen Gegner muss noch bestanden werden...

David Greene is a New York basketball enthusiast, who wants to coach. He is then offered the coaching job at a small Nevada college. He brings along some players, who are a bit odd but good. Like Swish who unknown to the rest of the team is a girl. Preacher, who's being sought by some nefarious characters. And D.C., who's a fugitive. And along with some of the students at the college, he turns them into a contender. In order to give the tam the respect they deserve and some exposure, Greene schemes to try and get the number 1 team led by Bo Winnegar, to play them.
