Hot-headed basketball coach Marvyn Korn's (John Stamos) old-school, "my way or the highway" approach may have helped him make a name for himself in the NCAA, but his quick temper also lands him in hot water... and into a coaching position at Westbrook School for Girls, where his tough-guy act just isn't going to cut it.

Pride and ego already in tatters after his NCAA ousting, Dean Sherilyn Thomas (Yvette Nicole Brown) then Sirens' star player Louise (Nell Verlaque) each dunk on him, and before he knows it Coach Korn has a full team revolt on his hands.
As much as they love the game and want to improve for the sake of themselves, their parents and their school, the girls aren't going to respond to his toxic methods. Coach Korn needs to get with the programme, and fast.
A display of mercy grants him one last chance to reveal a more empathetic and vulnerable side, and to prove that he cares not only about the numbers on the scoreboard, but his players too.
Funny, poignant and heart-warming, the 10-episode series sees Coach Korn reluctantly drag himself out of his comfort zone as he's forced to risk becoming a better person. Here's how to watch Big Shot online with Disney Plus.
