He hands the players individual contracts, instructing them to attend all of their classes, wear dress shirts and ties on game days, refer to everyone as "sir", and maintain a minimum 2.3  grade point average, among other requirements.

there are several different camera shots and angles within the movie of coach carter, there were close up shots of Samuel l Jackson's facial expression when he pinned Timo Cruz against the wall and said "I ain't your teacher I'm your basketball coach". and also the players expressions when being told what to do by carter it shows close-shot angles of their distraught faces. there were also high-angle shots from the seats of the basketball stadium from a audience's point of view when the basketball matches were shown and in play.
