A great alternative to sitting in the stands.

I like the option of being able to watch stuff when I can’t travel or attendance is limited. The automated cameras are mostly reliable but can cause a bit of motion sickness when they are chasing nothing. I do wish that it either moved you to the next event on the schedule at that location. Rather than just stopping the video making it look like it is buffering. So make sure at the end of the event you are watching to back out and watch the next event so you don’t miss anything!

While browsing some of the many options I have noticed MANY hours of empty content. Dark fields, or gyms or even the occasional phys Ed class lol. The developers may want to look into these to help them free up some server space.

Do not buy yearly subscription

I am so thankful I didn’t buy the yearly subscription. I chose monthly and am now cancelling my subscription before I waste any other money. I planned to watch an important game with my elderly parents and the game never showed! It said delayed until about an hour later when they finally just didn’t even show the game available to view anymore and deleted it from the lineup. Emailed support with no response. The last game we streamed the score never updated. I didn’t expect the highest quality for this service, but I didn’t think I would be subject to missing an entire game either. I can deal with the sound being off on some games or the score not updating, and even the camera not panning correctly. Im just not prepared to continue to pay money and HOPE it airs every week with no recourse if it doesn’t. I will say that one of the games we watched was very well broadcasted to where the announcers were audible and I felt as if I was at the game. So I suppose it depends on how well each school’s A/V is set up but that wasn’t my understanding when I signed up for this service. If you’re willing to take the chance that your game airs, then it may be worth it for you.

Broadcast Problems

This was my first experience using NFHS this 2020 football season. Although I was able to watch some of my team’s games satisfactorily, more than half the time live broadcasts were unexpectedly unavailable (no explanation given...I was referred to the seller - Apple Apps in this case - for any refund I desired. I did not request this, but instead I suggested some reasonable concession) and/or totally unsatisfactory to watch due to technical feed issues (video buffering, tiling and skipping). Last night’s playoff game was affected throughout by these issues including garbled, unlevel sound (on announcer sounded muffled and the other was really loud) and black screen every 15 seconds or so through out. The replay I watched today worked better however the volume issue remains and constant video skipping.

Since our season has come to an end, I went to stop the subscription for the year but haven’t uncovered exactly how to accomplish this. The NFHS App refers you to the selling source which I’ll figure out.

Alas I would probably buy again next year, betting on improvements will be made.

TOP 13 best basketball movies

A list of good basketball films: there will be stories about victories over oneself and the arrogance of others, there will be legendary basketball players and fictional stars from the ghetto. And then there will be NBA players and coaches who believed in their guys even when the whole world looked away and lowered its head. Basketball players do not give up - this is a sport for those who always strive to the top, even after hundreds of offensive falls. So it will be interesting for those who have not heard about players like Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal: there is something inspiring for everyone in sports movies.

Hurricane Katrina was the most destructive hurricane in US history, displacing more than half a million people from their homes, and the survivors of the disaster faced a lack of electricity, water, schools and jobs. August 5, 2005 will forever go down in the history of New Orleans, and in the cinema there will remain the exploits of people who, despite the difficulties, the helplessness of the authorities and the growing crime rate, believed that everything would work out and tried to return the victims to normal life. An example of such heroes is a basketball coach who brought together guys from different schools into one team and led them to a decent result in the state championship. Teenagers who previously did not know or dislike each other must come together in a short time and believe that the future is worth the effort, even if tomorrow the world collapses again.

A film about a guy and a girl who have been in love with each other and basketball since childhood. And in the outwardly happy, harmonious story, a whole minefield of dramas is scattered. Monica and Quincy devoted themselves to the game: they played in school, played in college, and also played after college. Only now, in the excitement and frenzied energy of the site, the guys began to forget that the rest of life is not a game. There is no arbiter here who will immediately notice the violation, and retribution for mistakes is not a card, but the loss of loved ones, loneliness, and sometimes someone's broken destinies.

Chasing a career and a dream at the expense of one's own happiness is just one problem that keeps Monica and Quincy from being together. Another sore point is the different price of success. Quincy, whose father is a famous NBA player, achieves the captaincy and flutters around the court as easily as if his fairy godmother is Jordan himself. During this time, Monica trains to the point of fainting, struggles with the gender stereotypes of a conservative mother, and still watches many basketball games from the bench.

Bottom line: in a simple story about two real athletes who hate to lose and be afraid to be weak, the creators fit both a suitable melodrama and a serious motivating movie. Here are touching scenes when young heroes play together on the lawn at night and dream about the future, and a well-developed metaphor that everything in life is like in basketball - fractures, losses, falls, helplessness, desperate jerks and the speed at which the world narrows down to one point. We didn’t forget about important questions about a career in professional sports and socially important topics, such as unwanted marriage and self-acceptance - everything to think about and not get bored with the visual.

His game (1998, USA)

sports drama

Director/Writer: Spike Lee (No Caught, No Thief, Black Klansman)
Cast: Denzel Washington, Ray Allen, Milla Jovovich
KinoSearch: 7.2
IMDb: 6.9

Jesus Shuttlesworth grows up without parents, takes care of his younger sister and beats out resentment against the world on the basketball court. And Jesus really has something to run furiously from, banging the ball on the asphalt - his father killed his mother six years ago. For this, Jake, the elder Shuttlesworth, was sentenced to fifteen years, but the head of the prison gives the killer a chance to reduce the term. The subject of the deal - Jesus, as the most visible and talented player in the city, must go to the right university to bring the local basketball team out of shameful oblivion. Jake is released from behind bars for a few days, but it is hardly possible to regain his son's trust so quickly after the murder of his mother.

The role of Jesus was played by Allen Ray, the NBA record three-pointer, sportsmanship award winner, basketball hall of famer and Olympic champion, a humble, intelligent basketball monster. You can definitely not worry about the quality of the image of the game on the screen. It also shows that real talent is not only a ticket to a secure future, but also a piece of fresh meat for starving predators. There is a fierce hunt for Jesus, and everyone around wants to use the guy for their own purposes - success is dizzy, but if you fall, the fanatical crowd will scatter, and out of a million outstretched hands, not one may remain.

Basketball fever (1996, USA)

comedy

Director: Tom Deserchio
Screenplay: Judd Apatow ("Forty Year Old Virgin", "Knocked Up")
Cast: Damon Wayans, Daniel Stern, Dan Aykroyd

The film is not so much about basketball, but about the fans of the major basketball league. Schoolteacher Mike and plumber Jimmy go to every Boston Celtics game and are willing to do anything for another win for their team. Even the kidnapping of the famous and player Scott Lewis, who plays for rivals and seriously threatens the victory of the Celtics. Scott had the imprudence to come to the bar shortly before the match - then Mike and Jimmy finally understand: while they are “part of the ship, part of the team”, their not very successful life is filled with vivid emotions and a sense of something significant, which means that the ship will never must drown.

Tom Shepard could play in the NBA and be friends with Shaquille O'Neal or Kobe Bryant. But instead, a talented man works as a school watchman: a gray reality without hopes and prospects is an excellent hiding place from feelings of guilt. Several years ago, Tom's friend died, and Shepard could never forgive himself for this. Now Tom takes the ball in his hands only at night and alone fights an invisible enemy. One of these workouts is noticed by the main character, high school student Kyle Watson. The guy plays brilliantly, but his temper and aggressiveness prevent Watson from getting an athletic scholarship at a prestigious college. But these qualities do not prevent Kyle from joining the criminal gang: the talented game of the schoolboy was noted by Ptah, the leader of the most influential gang in the area. Kyle finds it hard to resist the temptations: Bird knows what it's like to live in a poor neighborhood with a single mother, and offers Watson gifts for loyalty. Security guard Tom Shepard understands that Watson needs help, and the man will finally stop running from life and is trying to pull Kyle off the streets.

White people can't jump (1992, USA)

sports drama, comedy

Director and screenwriter: Ron Shelton
Cast: UEESLY SNAPS, Woody Harrelson, Rozi Perez
: 7.4
9028 IMD

After the movie, Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes lit up in two nominations for the MTV award: for "Best Screen Duo" and "Best Kiss". Their criminal bromance really leaves few people indifferent: it's funny, it's powerful and it's unexpected.

Billy Hoyle realized that it was impossible to threaten South Central long before the release of the legendary comedy. The white guy Billy in the African American ghetto did not even try to show everyone what a cool basketball player he is, but he cleverly makes money on it. Blacks look at Billy as a naive child who got involved in a game with adult uncles, but in fact Billy turns out to be Eminem from streetball, and easily takes the money of those who do not believe in the white's success on the court. Billy carries all dishonestly earned banknotes into a three-liter piggy bank to pay off debts. Gloria, Billy's girlfriend, who dreams of a cozy home without any criminal sports, puts all her savings there. The only problem is, Billy and Gloria live in dreams of different rings, but it will not be clear soon. In the meantime, Sidney bursts into Billy's life - one of the skeptics, who at first did not recognize Billy as a serious player, and then realized that it was easier and more fun to monetize white stereotypes together. This is how an on-screen duo appeared, capable of pulling out both a hackneyed script and a two-hour timekeeping. 6.4

When the bosses of the big studios want to have some fun, Michael Jordan goes to the cartoon and plays basketball on the same team with Bugs Bunny for the fate of the entire cartoon world.

Air King (1997, USA, Canada)

comedy, family film

Director: Charles Martin Smith (The Way Home, Dolphin Story)
Screenplay: Kevin DiCicco
Starring: Michael Jeter, Kevin Zegers, Wendy McKenna

In this film, you can guess the motives of "Kashtanka": the dog is betrayed by a stupid clown owner, on the way to the shelter the dog gets lost, ends up in a house with a nice family, becomes a basketball legend, and so the former owner finds out about the loss, an evil clown who wants to make money on pet and trying to get it back. And yes, Buddy, a golden retriever, is great with a basketball and helps his boy Josh's school team win matches. It sounds absurd, but this movie has six sequels and only positive reviews on KinoPoisk, the film is built on the model of “a bad and ridiculous man offends a child and a cute little animal”, so at the end good smashes evil with a three-pointer in a beautiful jump - family viewing with children doomed to laughter, comfort and talk about getting a dog.

The movie was shot in collaboration with the NBA, so this film bypasses all other tapes in the list in terms of the number of cameos of famous athletes.

The plot of this film would look appropriate in the top about princesses - this is a film about Cinderella in basketball shorts. Calvin Cambridge is fourteen, an orphan and growing up in a boarding school, dreaming of someday getting into the "ball" in the basketball hall of fame. But Cinderella in a fairy tale for the prince was born in the wrong class, and Calvin for professional sports was born in the wrong height.

Coach Carter (2005, USA, Germany)

Director: Thomas Carter
Screenplay: Mark Schwan (One Tree Hill), David Gatins (Real Steel)
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Rob Brown Robert Richard, Channing Tatum
0211 IMDb: 7.3

A film that lists about basketball rarely do without, and tops of movies about sports in general. Not without "Coach Carter" and the top 250 "KinoPoisk": Ken Carter's neighbors are cutie Totoro and "American Beauty".

Ken Carter is not a fictional character. In 1997, the coach brought the Richmond school team to a very high level: the guys won one victory after another, the school management and parents were delighted. And during the chain of convincing victories, coach Carter closed the hall to his young stars. The team missed several games, management and parents changed their enthusiasm to outrage, but the coach kept the doors closed. Carter set a condition for the wards: until each member of the team pulls up his average score in all subjects, there will be no basketball. As a result, all the guys from the team were able to graduate from school - this is a great achievement for the guys of Richmond 90's. By the way, the real Ken Carter himself chose Samuel L. Jackson for the role and was very pleased with the performance of the actor.

In 2020, another film about a school coach was released - Outside the Game. The main character (Ben Affleck) was the coolest guy in school, played basketball well and broke opponents like Bane's spines. But then he drank himself and destroyed everything, and the chance for redemption is the work of a coach in his native school. Affleck's character falls short of Carter in terms of charisma, but it's interesting to look at a familiar story from Gavin O'Connor, who directed Warrior with Tom Hardy and Miracle with Kurt Russell - BadComedian said that the plot of "Moving Up" was copied from this movie . 966th, just two years after the law on the abolition of racial discrimination. And Texas was in no hurry to give up bad habits: in 1966, the latest edition of the Green Book was released, and African Americans still could not live in the same hotels with whites, and it was unthinkable to meet on the same field.
