Allen's goal when he arrived at Gunderson was to build a lasting basketball program. Like CoachCarter, Allen held the boys to academic standards: They needed to maintain a 2.5GPA to play. This angered some players and parents; after all, the football team didn't need grades that high. But Allen held firm. Same went for practice. Show up 30 seconds late and Allen locked the doors on you. To encourage competition he held one on one varsity tournaments before each game to earn a jersey. In the summers he expected players to join his traveling team and train at his facility in LosGatos, paying if they could afford to. and drove from house to house picking up players for practice, sometimes making two trips when his Chevy Blazer got too full. He worked long days, finally falling into bed at midnight, but he loved it. He felt he had a purpose, a plan.
