Wonderful movie for sports nuts of all kinds....

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2000)

This movie is a must see for any basketball fan, especially those of small town high school basketball. Also a stellar performance by Hackman. Fans of him will love this movie as well. Hoosiers does a great job of capturing small town life, and how it all revolves around the town living vicariously through their high school sports team. Hackman is wonderful as a new coach with a shady past that has different ideas from what has been done before. As he tries to restore discipline and integrity to the team, he is met with opposition by the town's leaders. All in all, a great 'feel good' movie where you find yourself pulling for the main character and the ideals and principles that he stands for. A must see....
