Other interesting things include the fact that the actor playing Jimmy was the only one in the movie that didn't play college basketball. They also said that the actor playing Ollie was probably the best player out of the group.

Ollie was Wade Schenck, who sat on the bench on a very good L&M High team, a school of about 125 kids who reached the final 8 in Indiana back when they had a real tournament (no classifications). Steve Hollar (Rade) who started on a state champ at Warsaw, and later DePauw was the best player from Hoosiers.
