Production

Coach was produced during the late-1970s boom of sports-themed comedies. Directed by Bud Townsend, who previously helmed The Nightmare (1970), the film was distributed by Crown International Pictures. The production is notable for featuring early career appearances by future stars, including Michael Biehn (later of The Terminator) and Rhea Perlman (of Cheers fame).

The film was shot on location in Southern California, utilizing local high school facilities to maintain its low budget. It capitalized on the star power of Cathy Lee Crosby, who was a household name at the time due to her professional tennis background and her role in the 1974 Wonder Woman television pilot.

In a 2017 interview for the film's high-definition release, Cathy Lee Crosby reflected on the production with nostalgia, noting that she appreciated the character's athletic competence. She characterized the experience as a positive one that helped establish her persona before her transition to television hosting. She has spoken warmly about her chemistry with a young Michael Biehn (in his film debut).
