== Synopsis ==
Marvyn's attempt to amp up the girls' practice regimen put him at odds with Westbrook's faculty.
==Plot==
Early one morning Marvyn Korn is taking an early morning jog on a path by the beach when he passes a basketball court. He’s stopped by Louise Gruzinsky who was playing basketball with some of her brother’s friends. A boy named Dylan recognizes Marvyn Korn and points him out to the rest of his friends, one of whom starts chanting “Throw a chair.” Louise tells Dylan to make them stop and Dylan tells them to cut it out. Louise apologizes as Marvyn begins his run again, telling her to “Save some for the game.”
Cut to the Sirens’ next game where the girls keep passing the ball to Louise to make all the shots, even though they’ve had opportunities to shoot it at the hoop. They win the game and Assistant Coach Holly Barrett congratulates the girls as Coach Korn enters, upset that all the girls did was pass the ball to Louise. They defend themselves for having won, not understanding why he’s upset. “Yes, you won. But do you know why you won?,” he asks, saying that they’re better players so they should’ve won, but they’re not a good team. Next week they play Encinitas, who has better players. “How are we going to beat them? We’re going to be the better team.” He re-institutes his “Two-a-days” schedule tomorrow at 6:00 am. “If you’re 10 minutes early, you’re late.”
At an outdoor café Marvyn is having dinner with Holly, and she asks him what he hoped to accomplish with his speech, which she feels put the girls down. “Those girls aren’t going to learn anything if all they do is feed the ball to Louise,” he explains. Holly tells Marvyn that she thinks he enjoys being mad, which he brushes off, saying compliments lose their value if given too freely. She asks him to tell her something other than basketball that brings him joy. He first tells her Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, but she says it has to be something alive. “My daughter Emma,” he says.
