Coach Yoast: Character Analysis: Potential Opposition In The Team
Stage 1-Potential Opposition or Incompatibility
The movie started with the integration of a high school in Alexandria, Virginia back in 1971. This led to the existing head coach, Coach Yoast to be replaced by Coach Boone. There is structural conflict because Coach Yoast does not want to work beneath Coach Boone due to different leadership style. Coach Yoast is people-oriented leader. He cares about his team players. He emphasizes on personal interests and the needs of members. Coach Boone is task-orientated leader. He emphasizes on perfection to achieve goals, he inspires members to transcend their self-interests for the good of the team and have an extraordinary effect on members.

This happened on Julius and Emma (Gerry’s girlfriend). Emma is racist in the beginning and she refused to shake hands with Julius due to different skin color. Julius was aware that they are in disagreement, but it does not make Julius tense or anxious, and it has no effect whatsoever on Julius’s affection towards Emma. This stage also includes felt conflict. This involved in emotional stability such as anxiety, tension, hostility and frustration. Both races in the team are tensed and hostile when they were getting a drink from Sheryl Yoast after training. Both races in the team push, yell, and fight with each other. Another evidence, Gerry felt angry and frustrated when Julius hang a poster on the wall in their room. Two of them argued, push, and fight …show more content…
This means that they are in the mid-range on both assertiveness and cooperativeness because both sides know there will be no winner. Therefore both races put aside their beliefs for the better of the team. As for evidence, the black and white races gave up competing with each other and this may help them to build friendship and teamwork. Hence, there is a collaborating intention between the races in the team. This means that they are assertive and cooperative. Because they know there will be no winner, therefore they attempt to find a win-win solution that allows both of them to achieve their mutual goal together as to fully satisfy the concerns of both races in the team. As for evidence, although both of the coaches had their own coaching styles, but instead they are willing to clarify the differences and tried to use both methods to collaborate to coach the team depending on the nature of situation.

Stage 4-Behavior
In this stage there becomes some questioning of challenges but the physical conflict is set aside. An example of this is when Julius calls out Gerry asking why he is a captain and not making his teammates to block for the black team members. As stated by Julius to Gerry, “leadership affects attitude”. This causes Gerry to reflect and observe his team’s performance and made a final decision to remove one of his team members.

    Coach Bob Knight and Coach Mike Krzyzewski are arguably two of the best coaches to have ever coached college basketball in terms of notoriety and success. Anyone can reference a stat book and realize how successful these two coaches have been, according to the numbers, but comparing their leadership styles and approach to the game is a whole other story. While the two coaches have completely different leadership styles, Coach K and Coach Knight have more in common than just developing future NBA All-Stars, winning NCAA championships, and becoming a legend in the sport of college basketball. It so happens that Coach K and Coach Knight began what would become a lifetime friendship at the United States Military Academy at WestPoint where, then freshman cadet, Mike Krzyzewski was a player on Coach Knights basketball squad. Coach K would later become Coach Knight’s graduate assistant coach at Indiana University, the school where Coach Knight made his mark on college basketball.…

    Due to these they lost a game, because in the filed they didn’t work together as a team. Other example is when the players understood each other on the film and didn’t understand each other outside the field, for example when sunny asked them to come with him to a restaurant and the black boys got offended and insulted by the restaurant manager. They were told to go and eat at the back where cabbage was thrown because they were seen as lesser people. One of the climax in the film is when the film was about to end at the last game when the Black Hand and the white hand were holding the ball up together. They were trying to show that they have all won together as a one team. The final resolution in the film was when they all came together as one at Gerry’s funeral. A lot of these things that happened changed the community, and also the individuals a lot because after winning the state championship the community became as one. The Boone’s family were finally accepted into the community, it also had a change in some of the main characters including Gerry and Julius at the beginning of the movie they were both very prejudice because of the community they lived in. This changed overtime as the movie went on due to some of these complications like the scene when they had a fight and then after the fight they both…
