If based on what we have seen in this movie, the coach was not a good, think-out-the-box instructor. His coaching was too traditional and rigid, only when he finally loose his tight grip on how the basketball team persuaded him to let them play what they were good at without any predictable format and strategy, otherwise, this Miners would have been a losing team from the very beginning.
The script was not crafted in a tight, more interesting than "Hoosiers (1986)", he's definitely not on the same level as Coach Norman Dale of Hoosiers, but an accidental miracle medicine man who save the Miners by his only out-of-the-box idea, i.e., recruiting black kids to compete in the NCAA March Madness College Basketball Championship. The screenplay just showed how he was helpless during almost every game.
This movie by Disney is just a lukewarm production, watchable but definitely no great in the least.
