Amy Poehler will reportedly be starring in and producing an untitled comedy about basketball for Universal Studios, through her production company, Paper Kite Productions.

Poehler will be playing the role of a basketball coach, who once had a bright future, and has been asked to lead an NBA team.

Ike Barinholtz will also make an appearance in the film, and will be writing the script along with David Stassen.

Scott Stuber and Dylan Clark will produce with Poehler, through Bluegrass Films, and Brook Posch, Barinholtz and Stassen will executive produce through Paper Kite.

The film comes in time to reflect current events, as the San Antonia Spurs recently made history by inviting former WNBA star, Becky Hammon, to be the first female assistant coach in the NBA.

Hammon was named the head coach of the Spurs Summer League team, and even led them to a Summer League title.

Poehler has recently starred in the global blockbuster, Inside Out, and will be seen next in Sisters with Tina Fey and Barinholtz.

She is also shooting a comedy with New Line called The House, in which she will be starring opposite Will Ferrell.

Barinholtz and Stassen wrote the new action comedy flick, Central Intelligence, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, and the pair continue to write for The Mindy Project, which has been picked up by Hulu and will begin its fourth season later this year. Poehler is represented by 2 Arts, WME and Sloane Offer Weber & Dern.

Barinholtz is represented by Principato Young, UTA and Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein & Koehner.

Stassen is represented by Mosaid, UTA and Morris Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein & Kohner.
