This movie is awesome! My dad has it memorized. Great story about small Indiana high school basketball team coming together. Won't spoil the end. But a real feel good movie. Highly recommend
I love Indiana and this movie too
Hoosiers is a story about a college basketball coach who takes a job at a small Indiana High School in the 1950's. Basketball is king in this town. His style is different than what the players and town is used to. Lots of twists and good feelings.
