We’ve Seen That: Hoosiers


Listen Later

On a special episode of our show. Hosts T.J. Rives and Jay Betsill review and reminisce about the 1986 classic Indiana high school basketball movie, “Hoosiers” starring academy award winner Gene Hackman, academy award nominee Dennis Hopper and Barbara Hershey.
Find out: who was originally cast to play “Coach Norman Dale” instead of Hackman? How did the producers find the basketball playing cast for the film? How true does the Hollywood version of the small fictitious “Hickory High School” team chasing a state basketball championship compare to what actually happened, when real life-tiny Milan High School won the Indiana State Title in 1954?
We have a great time talking about one of the most memorable 1980’s sports films, and plenty of discussion on things to watch for the next time you see and enjoy, “Hoosiers.”
