four at the other. marshall lost it. unable to save it. baseline, high pass to barnes. puts up the shot. trying to draw the foul. doesn't get the call. there is a reach-in foul. it will send knight to the line, and it is on henson, and he's fouled out. >> clark: big shot. hard to tell whether he was actually fully behind the line from our angle. >> jim: that does look awfully close. >> clark: might have gotten his toe, although i'm not sure. they gave him a three. look at that. >> jim: they may just take a look at it. henson fouling out. this was not his typical game. >> clark: then a tough shot at the other end by barnes as he tries to draw a foul. still had enough time, only down four, to try to get something

better. you panic into that three-point shot and now you put yourself in a really tough position. >> jim: here is the liggins shot again, clark. >> clark: penetration by miller has been on the -- -- >> jim: that right foot looks like it's on the line. >> clark: that's very close. close enough to be reviewed. >> jim: there is still time for the officials to review it. >> clark: that looks like that right foot is on the line -- i know his tennis shoe is blue or black and the line is black but any time you touch that parst the line it's got to be a deuce. >> jim: the officials now conferring with calipari, and they're heading over to a monitor. just think how big this ball is -- if it knocks a point off the board and you have got a one and one at the line, 72-69 -- >> clark: that's really close, jim. from there it looks to me like he's got a toe on the line. >> jim: looks to me too. >> clark: looks like he's got a toe on the line which would make it a two.

>> jim: that right there -- it looks like a three. >> clark: from that angle -- from up top we couldn't tell, but from the side there is just a scosh of space, just a smidgen. >> jim: six years ago on this date, washington-michigan state in a double overtime regional final, question about a two or a three with patrick sparks. that was some thriller. michigan state eventually prevailed and went on to st. louis and the final four, but that holds up. that was worth another look. >> clark: it sure was. >> jim: the conclusive replay keeps it at 73-69. knight at the line. one and one. 18.8 to play. >> clark: kentucky has nobody on the line. knight missed his last. you don't expect an 80% shooter after just missing a free throw to miss another. >> jim: kentucky has not been to the final four since tubby smith took them there and won the title in 1998.

used to be -- you kind of counted on it every other year but it's been a long time, and that's calipari's father. >> clark: doesn't have to be a three. taking a lot of time. >> jim: barnes again. that shot well defended. chased down by knight. he's heading back to the line with 9.3 to play. >> clark: i don't think you had to shoot -- you can throw it to the goal hard for a two-pointer, try to stretch it out because if you miss the three, it really almost makes it a wrap. >> jim: you saw coach cal's father, vince, 77 years young, at the beginning of the season john's mother donna passed away. the father has not been leaving the home until a couple of late-season road trips. they were married for 54 years. here to cheer on his son and may

have a chance to go to houston. nine seconds away. with the team for the final four. >> clark: looks like they're on their way, jim. >> jim: it sure does. after 13 years away. >> clark: what a resilient effort in the second half as carolina clawed back and tied it but could never get over the hump. >> jim: that will do it. wildcats going back to an old kentucky home. >> jim: the final four. ♪ >> jim: this game pulled even. and then kentucky just took over in the closing two minutes. 6-0 closing stretch, in fact, by the wildcats. the best seed in houston will be a three.

kentucky against uconn. >> jim: they'll be there further opening ceremony, live at the final four then saturday in the national semifinals. wow. >> clark: wow is the right word, jim. >> jim: kentucky on to the final four. closed captioning provided by cbs sports division captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com >> jim: we'll see you in houston. this has been a presentation of cbs sports. on our 30th "road to the final four." one part dedication. one part hydration. this is powerade ion4. sodium. potassium. calcium. magnesium. an essential part of my game.

offensively, to me that was the difference and it allowed knight to get the threes down the stretch. >> greg: he's a beast. >> charles: if you didn't like these four games, you don't like sports. i have enjoyed myself thoroughly. but these four games -- all four of these games were fantastic. what a great weekend for college basketball. >> greg a.: it's not a matter of coach calipari outcoaching coach williams but his game plan and the ability to execute thashgs took away carolina's transition and made an average shooting team have to make jump shots. >> greg: kentucky on its way to houston. so are we. we'll take a time out and come right back after this.

>> stahl: our government is in knots over ways to lower the federal budget deficit. well, what if we told you we found a pot of money-- over $60 billion a year-- that could be used to help out. that bundle is tax money not coming into the i.r.s. from american corporations. one major way they avoid paying the tax man is by parking their profits overseas.ñi they'll tell you they're forced to do that, because the 35% corporate tax rate is high in relation to other countries. and indeed, it seems the tax code actually encourages companies to move businesses out of the country. companies searching out tax havens is nothing new. in the '80s and '90s, there was an exodus to bermuda and the cayman islands, where there are no taxes at all. when president obama threatened to clamp down on tax dodging, many companies decided to leave

the caribbean, but instead of coming back home, they went to safer havens like switzerland. several of these companies came to this tiny dot on the swiss map called zug, a small, quaint, medieval town. i don't think anybody's ever heard of zug in the united states. hans marti, who heads zug's economic development office, showed off the nearby snow- covered mountains. but zug's main selling point isn't a view of the alps. how low are the taxes here? >> hans marti: it's something between 15% and 16%. >> stahl: and in the united states, it's 35%. >> marti: i know. it's half... half price. >> stahl: and do you have the lowest tax rate in switzerland? >> marti: most probably, yes. >> stahl: most probably, yes. so you're kind of a tax haven within a tax haven? >> marti: maybe, yes. >> stahl: yeah. the population of the town of zug is 26,000; the number of companies in the area, 30,000 and growing at an average rate of 800 a year. but many are no more than

mailboxes. texas democratic congressman lloyd doggett questions whether the recent moves of several companies are legit. >> congressman lloyd doggett: a good example is one of my texas companies that's been in the news lately, transocean. >> stahl: transocean owned the drilling rig involved in the giant b.p. oil spill. they moved to zug two years ago. >> doggett: i'm not sure they even moved that much. they have about 1,300 employees still in the houston area. they have 12 or 13 in switzerland. >> stahl: and yet, they claim that they're headquartered over there. >> doggett: they claim they're swiss. and they claim they're swiss for tax purposes. and by doing that, by renouncing their american citizenship, they've saved about $2 billion in taxes. >> stahl: so here we are in zug. we went to find their operations here. we came to see your international headquarters. >> at the moment, my boss is not here, so... >> stahl: she said her boss wasn't there and we should call someone halfway around the world.

in houston? >> yeah. >> stahl: not here? >> no. >> stahl: but this is the headquarters. >> i know. >> stahl: and is the c.e.o. here? >> no. >> stahl: i mean, normally here? >> no. >> stahl: another texas company that moved here is weatherford, a $10 billion oil field services firm. it still has 2,800 workers in houston, but according to official documents, they are incorporated in zug, in this small building. but there was no weatherford on the sign outside. finally found it listed in this thing. "weatherford international." here... here's the mailbox. but we don't know even where to go. there's no listing for the international headquarters of weatherford. so we started knocking on doors. >> hi. >> grietsi. >> stahl: we're looking for weatherford. are they in this building? >> yes. um... >> stahl: here? >> just a moment. let me check.

>> stahl: okay. i was shown to a conference room they said weatherford rents for board meetings. but weatherford's houston office told us they never go there. so, are these big companies pulling a fast one? well, apparently not. under both zug and u.s. tax laws, it's perfectly legal to get the low tax rate, even without a real presence here. but congressman doggett wants to change that. you have a proposed legislation that a company will be taxed not based on where they file some pieces of paper, but where their decision makers and management actually resides and makes decisions. >> doggett: let them pay the same way that other houston- based companies pay. and so, if they have their management and control there, they ought to be paying here in the united states. i think it's fair. >> stahl: we found that, faced with the mere threat of doggett's legislation, transocean and weatherford both recently packed up their top

brass and shipped them to geneva. we were told transocean's top ten executives live around here in the geneva area, and work on the top two floors of this building-- everyone from the c.e.o. to the chief financial officer to the vice president of taxes. they wouldn't talk to us on camera, and neither would weatherford. they also moved their c.e.o. and c.f.o. to geneva. and so now, we're beginning to see a jobs exodus from the u.s. of top management. >> doggett: we can't write a law that their lawyers can't get around. that's the whole problem here. >> stahl: you're in congress. why did congress write these laws that allowed this to happen? >> doggett: there's been a lot of arm twisting, a lot of effective lobbying here, and some really smart tax lawyers figuring out how to game the system with one shenanigan after another. >> stahl: but are they shenanigans, or is it the law? >> doggett: i think it was a shenanigan when some of these companies felt so strongly about america that they renounced

their american citizenship and began saluting a foreign flag. they exploited a provision in our tax laws and moved offshore. >> stahl: congress tried to put a stop to that with a law passed in 2004 mandating that any company that wanted to move offshore would still have to pay the 35%. but because of loopholes in the tax code, companies can substantially lower their taxes by moving chunks of their businesses to their foreign subsidiaries. i think when people hear that all these companies are moving overseas because of taxes, they think that doesn't smell right. >> thierry boitelle: yeah, the question is, does a company have a moral obligation to pay its fair share? >> stahl: swiss tax attorney thierry boitelle. >> boitelle: i think many companies in the u.s. would like to keep the jobs in the u.s., if they could, but they also need to keep their shareholders happy. and they are in the u.s. in a corporate tax nightmare because

it's the highest tax rate in the world. >> stahl: with japan slated to lower its rate in april, the u.s. will soon have the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world. >> john chambers: we are dealing with a tax system that is a dinosaur. >> stahl: one c.e.o. who would talk to us is john chambers, head of cisco, the giant high- tech company headquartered in san jose. he says our tax rate is insane. it's forcing companies into these maneuvers, especially when many other industrialized countries, including canada, are busy lowering their tax rates in order to lure our companies and our jobs away. >> chambers: every other government in the world have realized that the u.s. has it wrong. they're saying, "i'm going to have lower taxes, period." that's what you see all across western europe, that's what you see in asia in the developed countries. >> stahl: are you judged as a c.e.o. on things like this, on taxes? >> chambers: absolutely. >> stahl: he's been expanding

cisco overseas, because of growing demand abroad, but also to lower the company's taxes. their average rate over the last three years-- just 20%. economist martin sullivan says it's standard operating procedure for companies like cisco. >> martin sullivan: u.s. multinationals are shifting their research facilities, shifting their manufacturing facilities, and shifting some regional headquarters into switzerland and into ireland. and those are massive numbers of jobs. >> stahl: he says ireland taxes corporations at just a third of the u.s. rate, so no wonder the outskirts of dublin look like silicon valley. these companies are all but obliged to go abroad. >> sullivan: well, if you're... have a 35% rate in the united states and, for example, a 12.5% rate in ireland, there's a incentive to move your factory to ireland. >> stahl: 600 american companies are in ireland and they employ 100,000 people. >> sullivan: that's right. >> stahl: those are jobs that aren't here.

and they moved to ireland because of taxes. >> sullivan: mm-hmm. the u.s. treasury, in effect, is subsidizing investment in ireland. >> stahl: why isn't everybody in ireland, if it's that great? >> sullivan: almost everybody is in ireland. all the pharmaceutical companies, all the high-tech companies. you're stupid if you're not in ireland. >> stahl: we noticed that you have an awful lot of companies in ireland. >> chambers: yes, we do. >> stahl: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight companies in ireland. >> chambers: we do what makes sense to the shareholders. we go where there are incentives in countries that say, "we want you here, we're going to give you tax advantages, and we want you to add jobs here, et cetera." we can no longer, in america, say, "this is how we do it, therefore, you must do it. we've got to change or we're going to be left behind. >> stahl: an increasingly popular way, particularly, pharmaceutical and high-tech companies like google avoid paying the 35% is to shift their patents, computer code, pill formulas, even logos from their u.s. bases to their outposts in low-tax countries.

>> boitelle: a hundred years ago, if a company would want to relocate, you know, you'd have to pick up a factory, machinery, and move everything. today, a company can move predominantly all of its assets just on paper. >> stahl: you can push a button and move your algorithms... >> boitelle: or coca-cola could take the recipe out of the vault, put it in a swiss vault. >> stahl: and then... and then, it's swiss? >> boitelle: yeah. >> stahl: when a formula or a computer code is registered abroad, say in zug, a u.s. company is allowed to claim a lot of its taxable profits are there, even if most of its sales are in the u.s. >> sullivan: the need for tax reform is greater than ever. >> stahl: economist sullivan told congress these patent and profit transfers are accounting tricks that allowed companies to chip away at the 35% and save tens of billions of dollars. he says that, from 2007 to '09, these maneuvers helped lower pfizer's average tax rate to 17%; merck to 12.5%; and g.e.,

just 3.6%. >> sullivan: it's really remarkable, as i review the data, is the consistency with which you see this phenomenon. the taxes are going down, the profits are shifting offshore at an accelerated rate over the last few years. >> stahl: so now, these companies have profits accumulating overseas in places like zug. oh, look at your clock tower. if they bring the money home, it's taxed at the full 35%; if they leave it overseas, the i.r.s. can't touch it. in other words, the tax law all but forces companies to keep their money out of the country indefinitely. >> chambers: we leave the money over there. i create jobs overseas, i acquire companies overseas, i build plants overseas, and i badly want to bring that money back. >> stahl: how much does your company have overseas that could be brought back here? >> chambers: almost $40 billion.

$40 billion. >> stahl: cisco has $40 billion trapped over there somewhere. >> chambers: yes. >> stahl: the total amount of money u.s. companies have trapped overseas is $1.2 trillion. chambers is advocating for a one-time tax break to allow them to bring that money home at a rate of, say, 5%. he says that would stimulate the economy and create jobs. >> chambers: what is your downside for money that isn't going to come back anyhow? i'd say your downside is zero. >> stahl: but the obama administration opposes this idea. when it was tried in 2005, the treasury did rake in billions of dollars, though very few jobs were created. what if, tomorrow, congress passed a quickie law and the tax rate was 20%? would that solve everything? >> chambers: i think it is the most important ingredient that we have to think about being competitive. >> stahl: you lower the rate from 35% to 20%, you lose something like $2 trillion in taxes.

we have a horrible deficit crisis, debt crisis. that's almost too much money to lose. what's your answer to that? >> chambers: my answer's very simply every other developed country in the world has already done this. i'm not asking to give me a favor or a hand-out. >> stahl: you know what? it sounds it. >> chambers: all we're asking is, give us a level playing field. get us close. . >> cbs money watch update sponsored by srx poriva handy hailers. >> good evening. the supreme court tuesday takes up the massive claim by women employees against wal-mart. nintendo's glasses free 3-ds game player went on sale today. gas is an average $3.58 a gallon, up 29 cents in a month. and diary-of-a wimpy kid won the weekend box office. i'm jim axelrod, cbs news.

>> pelley: of all the tragedies of war, none are greater than those that involve children. caught in the crossfire or hit by a roadside bomb, children are often wounded, but rarely receive the heroic, high-tech medical care that our troops depend on. recently, we heard about a woman in staten island, new york, who has devoted herself to wounded children. elissa montanti has little money and no training in humanitarian relief, but against the odds, she has changed the fortunes of more than 100 crippled children, one child at a time. we wanted to see how she does it, so, for four months, we followed elissa montanti on a journey with one child, a nine- year-old from iraq, a boy named wa'ad. this is wa'ad last april, when he arrived in america with his mother, waffa. elissa montanti brought them here after an american soldier told her wa'ad's story.

>> elissa montanti: he was walking with his friends and they were kicking a bottle. i think the first child kicked a bottle, and then maybe the second. and then, he kicked it and it exploded. >> pelley: it was a bomb? >> montanti: it was a bomb. >> pelley: the blast shattered his face, tore out his eye, and took away his right arm and left leg. wa'ad would receive treatment for all of those wounds from a network of volunteers and charities that elissa montanti has recruited, one by one, over the last 15 years. wa'ad's first stop was at the shriners hospital in philadelphia. shriners has 22 hospitals that provide free care to burned and crippled children. >> oh, you are so strong >> pelley: wa'ad pushed through physical therapy to strengthen his muscles. >> you're going to be superman. ( laughter ) >> pelley: but slowed down long enough... >> wow, he really gets around well. >> pelley: ...to get fitted for

a new arm and leg that the shriners made for him. then, it was a trip to see an ocular specialist, annette kirzrot, who also volunteers for elissa. a prosthetic eye was the first step in improving wa'ad's appearance. >> montanti: happy? >> wa'ad: happy. >> pelley: but the tougher part would be reconstructing his face. >> kaveh alizadeh: wa'ad, how are you, buddy? how you doing? >> pelley: that was the challenge for plastic surgeon kaveh alizadeh. he's a long island volunteer recruited by elissa. >> alizadeh: so, there's this increasing pool of people that get drawn into her world. and if you have... if you're lucky or unlucky enough to be excited about this stuff, you get pulled in. can you blow up your cheeks? >> pelley: when you first approach a hospital or a doctor to ask them for, potentially, hundreds of thousands of dollars in free medical care, what's your pitch? what do you tell them?

>> montanti: i tell them this true story. here's a child that's... that's battered. i just tell them the reality. i expect them to help. i'm grateful, because they don't have to help. but i expect that they would, because... how could you not? >> pelley: after the earthquake hit in haiti, she went to the island and brought back three girls who lost limbs. elissa's work with crippled children began back in 1996, when a friend asked her to raise money to buy school supplies for kids in war-torn bosnia. that led to a meeting with the bosnian ambassador to the u.n. >> montanti: and he said to me, you know, "quite frankly, we have much stronger needs right now than pencil cases." he reached in his drawer. and he handed me this letter that this boy had written to him, asking for help-- two new arms and a leg. and i saw his picture.

and that's really when my whole life started to change. >> pelley: she brought that boy to the u.s. for treatment. kenan malkic, now 28, helps elissa run her tiny charity with a mighty name. she calls it the global medical relief fund. "global medical relief" sounds really big. >> montanti: it's big in the sense that we reach out to the world, but it's small in that it's really me. >> pelley: maybe you should call it "one little lady in staten island." she runs global medical relief out of her home, a 57-year-old single woman with a computer and a phone. >> montanti: my office is my former walk-in closet, and i added a window. and it works. and i speak to the world right out of my walk-in closet. >> pelley: the 112 children that you've helped so far come from where? >> montanti: bosnia, el

salvador, liberia, niger, sierra leone, iraq, china, indonesia, pakistan, haiti. did i say nepal? >> pelley: how do you keep it running? >> montanti: on a prayer. ( laughs ) >> pelley: she simply begs and borrows from doctors and hospitals, whatever it takes. she's traveled to the middle east, arranging passports, cutting red tape, and getting wounded children out one at a time. word spread among soldiers in iraq that an american charity called global medical relief is a lifeline. >> montanti: we are working in mosul. >> pelley: now, she gets a dozen emails a month from the war zone, most of which start with "dear sir." >> montanti: there's so many. >> pelley: how do these letters end? >> montanti: "please help." >> pelley: it was an email like that that started wa'ad on his journey with elissa montanti.

and seven weeks after he arrived, wa'ad was scheduled for his first surgery to repair his face. he walked into the hospital, thanks to his new prosthetic leg. when you first met miss elissa, do you remember what she told you that she would do for you? >> wa'ad ( translated ): she said they will help me to make surgery and fix my arm, leg. >> pelley: and make you whole again. dr. alizadeh's goal is to minimize the scar that runs from wa'ad's scalp down to his chin. the surgery was done at north shore university hospital, which donated its facilities. >> montanti: i love you, wa'ad. >> alizadeh: my plan today is to go ahead and expand the skin surrounding the scar, putting a sophisticated tissue balloon underneath the skin, and the skin slowly stretches over time.

>> pelley: that sophisticated tissue balloon, implanted under his cheek, will be inflated gradually over the course of weeks. so, over time, you're going to stretch his skin out, essentially creating new skin. >> alizadeh: that's right. >> pelley: and then, you're going to cut the scars out and move the new skin together? >> alizadeh: i hope so. that's the plan. >> pelley: what's the best you can hope for? >> alizadeh: my goal with wa'ad is that the defects that he has will not be noticeable when he becomes a young man. >> pelley: and you have a great deal of confidence in that? >> alizadeh: i do. >> pelley: but wa'ad's appearance would have to become much worse before he had a chance to get better. during his time here, elissa arranged for wa'ad to live alongside the three haitian girls in temporary housing, a jesuit retreat on staten island. together, they formed a family-- kids who didn't speak the same language, helping each other

though a painful experience. >> montanti: wa'ad is coming around the bend. >> pelley: even with all the free care, elissa spends about $50,000 a year for plane tickets and expenses. she raises it from donors, including richmond county savings, a staten island bank. but, sometimes, it's tough going. how often do you run into people who say, "look, those kids are from overseas, and we'd rather donate our money to kids here in the united states." >> montanti: often. >> pelley: it's a big problem for you? >> montanti: i've gotten hate mail, you know. >> pelley: hate mail? >> montanti: yeah. you know, "how can you help children from iraq when they're going to grow and just hate the united states? you should help the children here." >> pelley: and to those people, you would say what? >> montanti: i say, "we don't have landmines in this country, thank god. and these children are innocent."

>> pelley: nearly three months into wa'ad's treatment, the kids went to an amusement park. the balloons under wa'ad's face had been successfully inflated but, remember, we said things would get worse before they got better. this was wa'ad in june. imagine what it takes to be a stranger in america and place your faith in a painful procedure you don't understand. some people need courage for a roller coaster. wa'ad sat right up front to see what it's like to be a kid again. >> alizadeh: do you want to just bring him to the room straight? >> pelley: two days later came his final surgery. >> no pain, wa'ad. no pain. >> pelley: over two hours, dr. alizadeh removed the balloons from under wa'ad's skin, cut out the scars, and joined the new

skin together. >> montanti: look at him. he looks beautiful. >> pelley: plastic surgery requires months of healing. and in recovery, wa'ad had a long way to go. >> montanti: there you go. take a look at mommy. >> pelley: for the first time, his mother began to recognize the face she hadn't seen in more than two years. >> montanti: don't cry, be happy. >> waffa: thank you. thank so much. >> alizadeh: my pleasure. >> pelley: i'm curious why you do this. >> alizadeh: i do this probably for the most selfish reason, which is that it feels good. what do you think? >> montanti: well, my charity is very personal. it becomes a global family.

all these children-- i say "my children" so often, because i feel that they are. i love all of them. it's more than just an organization that is giving a child a leg or fixing his face. these children go back as little ambassadors, and they tell their town, their village, who say, "how wonderful the american people are." >> pelley: in early august, wa'ad had one more check-up with dr. alizadeh. look at this face. he looks so much better. aren't you handsome? wa'ad, you look so good. his scars will continue to fade over time, but this isn't the end of wa'ad's treatment. the plan is for him to come back from time to time for touchups as he grows older. he's got his smile back. ( laughs ) >> alizadeh: he's got his smile back. >> pelley: and i think he understands more english than he used to understand. >> wa'ad: yeah. >> pelley: four months after

they arrived in america, wa'ad and his mother headed home to iraq. hard to say good-bye? >> montanti: very hard. i cry all the time. >> pelley: you must worry that you won't see him again. >> montanti: i do, because it's always that worry, "what if." you know, what if something happens while they're in iraq? what if i can't do this anymore? >> pelley: a few weeks later, we checked in on wa'ad back in his neighborhood in iraq. that's him in the red shirt. we found the boy who'd been disfigured and left to hop on one leg was back with a smile and a pretty solid kick. >> go to 60minutesovertime.com to hear from the first child elissa montanti ever helped. i fwind myself upe to to deal with the sadness, the loss of interest, the lack of energy.

>> kroft: high school basketball is one of the most popular sports in the country, and those who follow it on the national level, particularly college scouts and coaches, are familiar with st. anthony of jersey city, new jersey, and its coach, bob hurley. going into this season, st. anthony had won 23 state championships and three national titles under hurley, who is one of only three high school coaches ever inducted into the basketball hall of fame. in nearly 40 years at st. anthony, hurley has never earned more than a $9,000 annual stipend, passing up lucrative college jobs to change lives in the inner city, and to help save a small, struggling catholic school by putting it on a very big stage. ( cheers and applause ) one night earlier this month, 8,000 people jammed the rutgers athletic center to watch what was, technically, the north jersey non-public class b finals.

but the game also happened to be for the national high school championship. it featured the number one- ranked st. patrick of elizabeth, new jersey-- with the nation's top prospect michael gilchrist-- against one of the most storied programs in america-- st. anthony of jersey city, and its legendary coach, bob hurley, ranked number two. >> bob hurley: enjoy yourselves. ready, everybody? one, two, three. >> "hard work." >> kroft: "hard work" was the mantra as st. anthony broke the huddle, something they had been doing all year in preparation for this game. >> hurley: work on that tight handle. >> kroft: their practices under coach hurley are famous for being among the most intense, grueling workouts in the country at any level of the game; a basketball boot camp unsuited for the uncommitted or the politically correct. >> hurley: go, josh. get him. get him. get candy ass out. sit down, softie. >> kroft: it's the only coaching

job bob hurley's ever had, and lots of things have changed in the 39 years that he's been here. but he is not one of them. i mean, you really are old school. >> hurley: for sure. in this day and age, i'm still one of the most demanding people that the kids are going to come across. >> hurley: catch it. face the basket. make a play! he's got to get up closer. you don't just say "screen." my god! where next? >> kroft: but this is not a story about a tyrannical coach who churns out athletes at some high school sports factory. it's about values, loyalty, and commitment at a small inner-city parochial school that doesn't meet anyone's idea of what a basketball powerhouse should look like. st. anthony is in an old brick building, with no gym, in a rundown neighborhood not far from the jersey side of the hudson river facing new york. there are only 240 students, most of them from families living below the poverty level

who somehow manage to scrape together the $5,000 tuition. and sister felicia, who runs st. anthony, says the standards are every bit as high as coach hurley's. >> sister felicia: for the past 17 years, 100% of all of our seniors have been accepted into college. and we're proud of that. >> kroft: that's a pretty remarkable record. >> felicia: yes, it is. >> kroft: but all of this has been under threat for some time now. st. anthony, like many parochial schools, is deeply in debt and constantly struggling to keep its doors open. it's managed to survive, so far, for one reason. >> felicia: i think every school has their own particular talent, and ours, obviously, is basketball. >> kroft: and in some ways, st. anthony is the julliard of high school basketball, a place where the gifted and the promising enroll to learn the finer points of positioning, technique, ball movement, and endurance. they are not here to have fun; they're here to get better and to learn how to win from one of the masters.
