:12:01
First of all, let's be real friendly here, OK?
My name is Norm.
:12:05
Secondly, your coaching days are over.
:12:10
Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb.
:12:15
A guy that gets naked and runs out in the
snow and barks at the moon, and, uh...
:12:22
a guy who does the same thing
in my living room.
:12:26
The first one don't matter, the second one
you're kinda forced to deal with.
:12:29
Translate.
:12:32
That some sort of threat?
:12:39
I don't know why Cletus
dragged your old bones in here.
:12:41
He must have owed you something fierce.
:12:46
The fact is, mister,
you start screwing up this team,
:12:50
I'll personally hide-strap your ass to a
pine rail and send you up the Monon line.
:12:55
Leave the ball, will you, George?
:13:02
Thank you.
:13:04
Huddle up.
:13:09
Let's see what kind of hand
I've been dealt here.
:13:13
Seven players, is that it?
:13:15
Six, cos I don't really count.
:13:19
Why is that?
:13:22
I'm too short and I'm not no good.
:13:26
I suit up for practice to be a body.
Equipment managing's my trade.
:13:31
I thought everybody in Indiana
played basketball.
:13:34
Most do, but not all go out for the team.
:13:37
We only got 64 boys in the whole school.
:13:40
It's gonna be a lonely bench. Those of you
who don't know, my name's Norman Dale.
:13:44
I coached college ball for 10 years,
but it's 12 years since I've blown this.
:13:48
I'm gonna be learning from you
just like you learn from me.
:13:51
I'm gonna set up practice
a little differently.
:13:54
But, as you'll find out,
everything has its reasons.
:13:57
Basketball is a voluntary activity.
:13:59
It's not a requirement.
