Marvyn Korn is a man with few options.
Will he be forced to coach for a Division II or Division III college team?
Actually, no, his agent says.
This is insult on top of multiple injuries, in Marvyns mind.
Yes, the premise ofBig Shotis familiar, but its more satisfying and dramatically fulfilling than you might expect.
Big Shotis one of many sports shows that have garnered attention during the past year.
Big Shotstands out in this field for a significant reason: Its competitors are exclusively young women.
At the first practice, the coach points to Destiny and tells her she needs to lose five pounds.
When she confronts him later, shes in tears but shows no weakness.
They all said that you were a psycho, she tells him.
Youre just a bully.
Korn can be a bit of a bully.
Hes aggressive, blunt, arrogant, and rubs almost everyone the wrong way out of the gate.
Hes basically the antiTed Lasso.
(Critics were given three of the ten episodes for review.)
The show certainly has some flaws.
The actual basketball scenes themselves dont always have the urgency one would hope for in a show like this.
And, as should perhaps be expected of a Disney series, some moments can get a tad hokey.
