Jake Johnson to star in Netflix animated comedy Hoops from Phil Lord and Chris Miller

The Hollywood Reporter

The New Girl alum will play a "hot-headed, foul-mouthed high school basketball coach who thinks turning around his god-awful team will take him to the 'big leagues,'" in the comedy created by Ben Hoffman. This is Lord and Miller's second animated comedy announced in a week. Last week, Fox ordered Bless the Harts starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph.
