Who is the stud player in Coach Carter based on?

Tyson Chandler...

[QUOTE=Interminator]I googled him, and he didnt have the smarts to go to a D1 school.

But he did play overseas at one point, and he has played in the NBDL, ABA, IBL, and had private workouts with the Warriors.

This is an interesting tidbit of knowledge.

It says Wayne Oliver played for Richmond High school. In other words, he played for Coach Carter's team. He was the stud player for The good guys. Not the stud NBA prospect player for their in state rival.

Ty Crane, the "next Lebron James" played for their in state rival. And he was a center/power forward. Therefore, Ty Crane must be based on another player. Unless the Ty Crane character is just totally made up, which is entirely possible.

I haven't watched it either. But I'm just saying, Wayne Oliver is not the guy the thread is asking about.

And as I said, Ty Crane may be based on no real player that Coach Carter's team played against.

[QUOTE]Fictional character "Ty Crane" in Coach Carter is representative of Chandler [/QUOTE]

The Next LeBron thing is probably a blooper by the people that made the movie.

That character always reminded me of kg.

i dont think it was chandler, because ty crane hit a winning fadeaway in the state tournament, can't see tyson chandler doing that :rockon:

good question though

For some reason coming out of highschool all the scouts said Tyson Chandler had an NBA ready jumpshot and his game was most comparable to Kevin Garnett's.

So for sure Ty Crane is Tyson Chandler? Nice, wonder how he feels about that, hes shown in pretty good light actually, congratulating Coach Carters team at the end for playing so well

[QUOTE] but would a highschool team from Richmond play a highschool team from Compton? They played once preseason and then once in the state tournament[/QUOTE]yes because compton and richmond are both in the state of california. that's why they would play in the state tourney.

preseason is just that, teams match up against whoever they feel like playing. some play more than others some travel some don't

in the movie Ty Crane went to a rich private prep school called St Francis. I better check out which HS Tyson went to.


wtf in real life Tyson went to Dominguez? That's not rich prep school at all its the opposite. Hmm guess its just movie taking liberties, making Coach Carters ghetto richmond match up against rich preppy Ty Crane's St Francis, in reality it was ghetto dominguez vs ghetto richmond, guess that isnt as exciting

This is an even more interesting tidbit of knowledge.

Coach Carter is a good movie.... right until they started throwing alley-oops for the game winners and stuff...(wait, was that Glory Road or Coach Carter?)
