I loved the movie Hoosiers but I bet people from Indiana that knew the story of Milan (not Hickory) High didn't appreciate all the made-up BS about a drunk father (Shooter) who sobers up and becomes the assistant coach, the last-chance coach (Norman Dale) who keeps his job at a church vote and has a creepy love story with Barbara Hershey, or a player (Jimmy Chitwood) who sits out half the season because the old coach was like a father to him. Now I know what "based on a true story" really means. When all of this is over and Geno has retired, Hollywood will come calling. You all better hope all they do are documentaries. Otherwise you are going to get some crap with Vince Vaughn starring as Geno, as he overcame cerebral palsy and the '63 riots in Mississippi to become the greatest head coach of all-time. [/QUOTE]
