Hoosiers

"Barbara Hershey - Myra Fleener"

"David Neidorf - Everett Flatch"

"Wade Schenck - Ollie McClellan"

"I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team."

"Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important than the other."

"[to Coach Dale] Sun dont shine on the same dogs ass every day, but, mister you aint seen a ray of light since you got here."

"Maris Valainis - Jimmy Chitwood"

"Stick with your man. Think of him as chewing gum. By the end of the game, I want you to know what flavor he is."

"Theres a, uhm, tradition in tournament play to not talk about the next step until youve climbed the one in front of you. Im sure going to the State finals is beyond your wildest dreams, so lets just keep it right there. Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their fancy uniforms, and remember what got you here. Focus on the fundamentals that weve gone over time and time again. And most important, dont get caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I dont care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my book, were gonna be winners! OK?!"

"[to Jimmy Chitwood] You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. Id do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, Id just push em out of the way. Didnt matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the schools, not the townspeople, not the teams, not Myra Fleeners, not mine. Its yours, to do with what you choose. Because thats what I believe, I can tell you this: I dont care if you play on the team or not."

"Gene Hackman - Coach Norman Dale"
