Tropes for the show:
- Curse Cut Short: Happens in one episode, as they are walking along a busy city sidewalk, a high school student confides in a friend that his girlfriend has just told him she's pregnant. The astonished friend responds, "Pregnant! No sh...?" just as a bus passes by them and honks loudly.
- Inner City School: The show is about a professional basketball player (Ken Reeves) who, after an injury that ended his career returns to his inner-city high school as a basketball coach.
- Save Our Team: The show lives and breathes this trope, with a white former NBA star taking a position as a basketball coach at an inner city, but racially mixed, school.
