Charismatic, respected, and deeply competitive, Terrence is a successful community figure and a disciplined basketball coach. But his hard-nosed approach doesn't translate at home, especially with Marcus, whose temperament he doesn't understand. He pushes Marcus the way he would any player: with pressure and tough love, mistaking control as guidance.
