* BitingTheHandHumor: In the first episode, Alan Thicke notes that ABC is the number one network ''alphabetically''. Mark immediately agrees.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Mark is pretty normal for a basketball coach, but in the classroom, he's this. He can reasonably substitute for courses he knows little of, though he focuses on making things fun and often injects basketball comparisons to get his point across. His in-class behavior tends to rub his stuffier colleagues the wrong way, and P.J. often keeps an eye on him to ensure he doesn't go too far.
* HiddenDepths: Andre (one of Mark's basketball players) displays a real aptitude for playing the piano and takes to it. Relatedly, though he initially opposed Andre getting distracted from basketball, Coach Ricketts listens to classical music in his spare time and considers Andre's big performance quite beautiful.

* CoolTeacher: Mark. The first episode, though, highlights the danger of this; the students immediately walk all over him and Earvin pranks him by gluing him to a chair, which nearly gets him fired. Robin (who made the same mistake and suffered similarly) tells him it's okay to make a class fun, but he has to earn their respect first in order to be taken seriously. The next day, Mark lays down the law, gives a heart-to-heart about his motivations, and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard glues Earvin to a chair]]. Over time, he becomes so beloved that his temporary departure in-between Seasons 3 and 4 devastates the students.
Added DiffLines:
* MyGreatestFailure: Mark's failed basketball career, both because it was his lifelong dream and because he slacked off in school as a result (which meant having to work extra hard once it was clear he wasn't going to make it in the pros).
Added DiffLines:
* NotSoDifferent: Mark immediately takes an interest in Earvin's education because he was also a class clown and slacker at that age.
