Clip description

Jacinta Peterson (Greta Larkins) is fouled by her brother Joel (Nick Colla) and gets to take a free throw. The score is now even and Coach Peterson (David Roberts) is mad. He calls for time out and tells his team to play dirty to win. He orders them to take on Jacinta and her three-pointers and ‘shut her down’. Nick (Kane McNay) is fouled off, Emily (Jessica Jacobs) is hurt by Singh (Dwayne Abeyesekera), Scubi (Stephany Avila) verbally and physically intimidates Jacinta, and Holly (Dominique Crawford) is blocked everyway she goes. Coach Peterson is triumphant, but his father, Max (Alan Hopgood) is disgusted.

Curator’s notes

by Annemaree O'Brien

Coach Peterson embodies the driven sports coach and aggressive sporting parent all rolled into one. The viewer is left in no doubt as to the right and wrong approach. Coach Peterson and his Rams come across badly in this scene. The losers are the moral winners.
