Great basketball movie. Very entertaining if you like the sport.
We went to see it for Shaq before he became a household name
This is Nolte’s show. He was born to play this incendiary role. Supporting cast is good as well.
Not the best acting, but its a really intriguing look at the ethics of recruiting, and it reflects a struggle that has been in cbb for years
Nick Nolte is a great personification of a troubled basketball coach and the film does a great job with his character. Lots of good cameos
The film got drowned out by the fact that Shaq and Penny were in it. Aside from that Nolte is great in it as the troubled coach.
Goes to show you should always trust your gut
Good portrayal of college boosters bending the rules to win
A good sports movie. Nick Nolte gives a good performance but the pro athletes in the movie are terrible.
If you love basketball it’s a must watch, but it’s not the best basketball movie out there.
