They sit around all their lives talking
about the glory days when they were 17.
:22:06
You know, most people would kill to be
treated like a god, just for a few moments.
:22:11
Gods come pretty cheap
nowadays, don't they?
:22:14
You become one by putting
a leather ball in an iron hoop.
:22:17
I hate to tell you this, but it's only a game.
:22:19
Why so unfriendly, Miss Fleener?
:22:24
Well, I know men like you.
:22:28
You don't know anything about me.
:22:30
I know you're here.
:22:33
I know this place doesn't
even appear on most state maps.
:22:39
A man your age comes
to a place like this, either...
:22:43

or he has nowhere else to go.
:22:46
What I'm doing here

Just stay away from Jimmy.
:22:54
I don't want him coaching
in Hickory when he's 50.
:23:09
(Cletus) Now, folks,
let's make him feel welcome.
:23:12
Our new coach, Norman Dale.

(cheering)
:23:21
First of all, I'd like to thank those of you
who have made me feel so welcome here.
:23:27
(scattered clapping)
:23:28
Thank you.
:23:31
The boys and I are
getting to know each other,
:23:36
to see who we are, and, uh...
:23:39
what we can be.
:23:41
So far I like what I've seen.
:23:44
I'm very excited to be part
of Indiana basketball.
:23:48
This is your team.
:23:53
(cheerleader) Rade Butcher!
