Jimmy got the chance to coach the basketball team, which annoyed Derek because he feels a "cripple" couldn't teach him anything( unknowing about Jimmys previous basketball career). He was proved wrong when Jimmy beat him in a one on one shoot out.
[edit] Season 6
One teacher was being quite mean with Derek and Danny. Danny and Derek were running in the hallway, they ran into their History teacher, Mr. Perino which caused them to spill his coffee and break his mug. Mr. Perino then over reacts to what happens. Snake tells the teacher that they're just kids and make mistakes. When Danny presents his presentation on World War II, Mr. Perino said that the assignment was to write a summary. He then accuses him of plagarizing. Derek says something to Danny and gets them both in detention. Mr. Perino then forces them to re-do Danny's project. When Derek walked outside to go home, he ran into Mr. Perino in the bus stop. Mr. Perino said that he isn't like the comedian that he is like in school. He then threatens him and tells him to treat him with respect. Later the next day Mr. Perino tells Derek to forget about what happened at the bus stop last night. After Danny and Derek present their presentation on the United Nations, he calls on another student called Jordan to present his presentaion. But Jordan isn't ready. Mr. Perino then accuses him of playing video games and looking at nudy pictures. Derek asks why he has to be so mean. Mr. Perino ignores him and asks everyone if they have a presentation or if he could just keep handing out zeros. Derek then sees Snake in the hallway. He then walks out and tells Snake about what just happened and about the previous incidents. Derek then talks to Ms. Hatzilakos, the principal, about what Mr. Perino did.
