* DidntThinkThisThrough: In the GrandFinale, Ben gives away his spare tire and tools as gifts to his former team members while saying goodbye. When he and Matty are about to leave Kentucky, they encounter a flat tire. Ben forgot that he gave everything away. The worst part of it all was that the show (because of its cancellation in December 2020) ends with Ben and Matty stranded on the road with a flat tire.

* GrandFinale: In "The Scout", Matty is offered an opportunity to go to Henderson Prep, far from his new friends and Coach. Ben does everything he can to not lose his star player, even hiring a prostitute to pose as Matty's mom. Ben's plan fails until he realizes that he would be offered a position as Assistant Coach at that new school. Ben leaves Lenwood High on a happy note with Matty, until their car breaks down. Because the show was cancelled in December 2020, it was never known if Matty and Ben made it to their new school.

* DownerEnding: Season 1--and the whole show, because of its cancellation,--has Ben successfully manipulating Matty into accepting a scholarship away from the new friends he just made so he can get a job at a bigger school. After personally disappointing every member of the team left, his car still breaks, implying he has just roped himself and Matty into even more problems. Outside of that, Ron, who never did anything wrong, loses his girlfriend and his mind.
