Don't waste your time

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2006)

The story needed to be told, but it was not told well at all. The movie drags on, and they literally made up moments in history. Coach Rupp never met Coach Haskins in a Texas airport. They forget to mention Rupp had recruited black players on previous teams in his career to include the first black player on the US Olympic team. They imply that he was a highly racist man when there are plenty of people in the world that can attest to the exact opposite. Also, where were the student of Texas Western in this movie? Their support or lack there of is never mentioned. If you do see the movie, please just walk away knowing that the is "based" on a true story, and that Hollywood has exaggerated or created moments to sell a movie ticket.
