Plot - Coach Reeves is approached by a lovely local newslady named Sally Adams to be part of human interest story. The turning point of the episode is when she reviews raw footage of Reeves with her producer. He was enthralled and wanted to push Reeves into being a color commentator for NCAA or NBA games. Backing up a pit, Reeves was never really comfortable with the concept. He lost his cool and was ejected from a game with cameras rolling. Later he blew off a phone call from Gomez because he was on his way to a swanky party with the TV people.
That foreshadowed why Reeves ultimately rejected the offer. He lost the team after Gomez was sent to juvenile detention from shoplifting. Gomez was in jail when he called. Reeves' focus was on winning back the trust of the team, and less and less on the tv project. Finally, he parted ways with the lovely blonde and coached his team to a close loss at the end of the episode. All is well at Carver High.
Observations - I liked seeing how the TV producer dressed, which was eerily similar to Sean Penn in Carlito's Way. When did white guys stop unbuttoning their shirts and wearing gold chains? I guess when leisure suits and disco went out of style.
As in Pregnant Pause we are treated to a shower singing scene, only this time it takes an ugly turn. The wood board that was placed to cover private parts didn't work this time, as there was "something" showing with Goldstein. It wasn't clear but it was fleshy and unappealing. I hope that doesn't happen again.
