The film, tentatively titled The Has-Been, was written by Brad Ingelsby (Out of Hell, Night Runner), who was clearly inspired by such famous films as The Indiana Squad, The Mighty Ducklings and Hardball.

Affleck claims to be a former basketball star who lost his family to addictions and a riotous lifestyle. At one point, the main character finally takes up his mind and becomes the coach of an ethnically mixed basketball team in his home school ...

The director's chair for the film was offered to Gavin O'Connor, who not only knows Affleck from his work on the crime thriller Reckoning, but also has such successful sports films as Miracle and The Warrior to his credit. According to Hollywood insiders, the WB management is also inviting the actor and director to join Mark Chiardi (“Coach”) and Jennifer Todd (“Remember”) on the basketball drama production team.

At the moment Affleck is busy on the set of the thriller "Triple Frontier", and O'Connor is developing the script for the sequel to "Suicide Squad".
