To the Future

Premise
It's Back to the Future in reverse. Instead of a kid from today getting sent back to the 1950s, a high school basketball coach from the 1950s gets sent to today.

Setup
A high school basketball coach - let's call him Mikey McFlyer - is spying on girls through a hole in the locker room wall. A very butch female PE teacher spots him - I'm thinking John Goodman, in a wig and fat suit. McFlyer runs away and for some reason falls into a portal, or a time machine, or some shit, and ends up in the year 2009.

Action
After some hijinks with iPods and cell phones, McFlyer attends a JV basketball game. He sees a 6-foot-tall black freshman tomahawk jam over a defender, the audacity of which causes him to suffer a massive stroke.

He recovers from the stroke, but has to use a wheelchair. He goes back to the high school. I'm not sure why he does, but we'll figure out a reason. Maybe to save his grandson from bullies, or maybe because he has fallen in love with the quirky art teacher who cares too much.

At the school, he wheels over to the handicapped stall in the men's room. Unfortunately, the stall has been nailed shut because the school wanted to keep kids from skipping class in there.

Thrilling Conclusion
McFlyer gets a bladder infection from holding it all day, so he goes to the urologist. But guess who the urologist is? It's him, 50 years older. He apparently had got his pre-reqs for med school during the off-season.

He kind of sucks as a urologist, so he dies. And when he dies, guess what? The urologist disappears into thin air. Time travel. The nurse comes in and screams, fade to black.

There's also a sex scene that explores issues such as racism and steroid use. This scene will probably run during the credits.
