This documentary chronicles Ruth Lovelace, the first woman to coach the boys' basketball team at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. The once highly accomplished and storied basketball program had fallen apart before Lovelace took over as head coach in 1994 at the age of 24. But Lovelace restored basketball excellence, leading the team to 13 straight playoff appearances.
