:07:02
Get you squared away.
:07:19
That's it. Thank you.
:07:22
- Say hello to Chester.
- Hello, Chester.
:07:24
Say goodbye to Chester.
:07:28
So you say this kid Jimmy wouldn't
play basketball after the coach died?
:07:32
Well, the coach was
kind of like an old man to him.
:07:34
Kid never had any family
of his own to speak of.
:07:38
At least he comes on down to the school
and shoots them buckets.
:07:41
Aside from that, he's just about
backed away from everything.
:07:45
I don't know why you're going on so
about this kid being irreplaceable.
:07:48
It's my experience
that nobody's irreplaceable.
:07:51
Well, I think there's something
you don't understand.
:07:54
Oh?
:07:55
In over 40 years of looking
at the best this state's ever had,
:07:59
I've never seen a better ball player
than Jimmy Chitwood. Never.
:08:08
I'm glad you're here, Norm.
I think it's gonna work out.
:08:12
Well, it's gotta work out this time
or that's it for good.
:08:28
The last time you coached
was 12 years ago?
:08:31
- Yeah, that's right.
- Where?
:08:34
That was in lthaca, New York.
:08:37
What you been doing since?
:08:40
Well, I've been in the navy for the last
ten years. I was a chief petty officer.
:08:47
Well, uh...
:08:49
Iooks like you're gonna need a little help.
:08:52
I've been running practices
the last couple of weeks.
:08:55
I'll help you out till you get your feet wet.
:08:58
(man) This town doesn't like change,
