Have you ever read Bill Simmons' (ESPN Pg. 2's Sports Guy) article on Hoosiers? I tried to get the link, but you have to be an ESPN Insider to read the whole thing.
ROFLMDAO!! After a couple responses to this thread, I went to look for that Simmmons article and ran into the same roadblock you did. That's hysterical.

I went looking, tho, not for the funny stuff; I was looking for his comments about the big school's coaching. There was a line in there about how dumb the movie made the opposing coach seem, from a strategy standpoint and the racial aspect of that. I can't remember exactly the point he was driving at. But after watching the actual game footage, it really did unfold pretty much the same way. Muncie never took a time-out in the fourth quarter while Milan was trying to come back and never tried to pressure Milan while Milan was holding the ball for 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. So I was curious to find out what Simmons' comments on that were, b/c I can't remember them now.
