Continuing to corner the market on angry, roughly-rendered mentors with potential hearts of gold, Jake Johnson is settling into his next animated role rather comfortably. Netflix released the trailer for Hoops, an adult animated comedy about a high school basketball coach who aims to turn his shoddy team around and get them to the “big leagues.” Johnson stars as Coach Ben Hopkins, who Netflix describes as “a pathetic, angry, foul-mouthed coach desperate to prove himself, but always looking for an easy way to get the job done. He’s shameless and selfish, and given the opportunity to do the right thing, he fails most of the time.”
