Is the director related to the coach in real life?


The director of the film is Thomas Carter, the subject of the film is Coach Ken Carter... I wonder if the director is related to the coach. Probably a long shot, but I just thought I'd ask if anyone knew.

You've probably given up waiting for a reply, but in case anyone is curious, the answer is no according to Wikipedia.

It says "no" or it just doesn't say? Thanks for answering.

They're not related. In the late 70s he starred in the series the White Shadow as a high school ball player and the show was set in South LA. But I think that's where the connection stops.

No. Check Roger Ebert's movie review. He mentioned it.
