It's funny, I've read several reviews about "Full Court Miracle", a new Disney Channel production involving a down on their luck Jewish academy basketball team who hires a down on his luck African American to coach them. They all seem to like it (in the B, B+ range), but they also tend to say it's schmaltzy and predictable. Also, something which I can't stand (a la CBS and Reagan) - this is "based on" a true story. If the real story is so heartwarming, why fix it?

Ironically, it's first showing is on a Friday night, so religious Jews won't be able to watch until it's in repeats.
