“I do not have a Segway at practice, by the way,” says Laney College head coach Jim Beam of his Segway-riding that was shown in the trailer and on the first episode. “The cameraman had it, right? And so the kids are like looking at it, and I go, ‘I can ride it.’ And the kids go, ‘Coach, you can't—you think you can do it? ‘I'm like, I'm an athlete, I can do anything.’ That's why I got on the Segway!" Meanwhile, Beam says of watching himself on Netflix: "It was hard, it was hard. You see yourself, right? You know, God was I that guy? You know what I mean?"
