Freiwurf (1986)
Nach langen Jahren Pause versucht sich Norman Dale als Basketballtrainer in einem Provinznest Indianas. Er hat schwer mit seiner Jähzornigkeit und dem konservativen Menschenschlag zu kämpfen, der seinen Trainingsmethoden mißtraut. Nach anfänglichen Mißerfolgen droht die Entlassung. Da erklärt sich Jimmy, der beste Spieler des Ortes, bereit, für Norman die Mannschaft zu verstärken. Nun beginnt eine Siegesserie, die bis ins Endspiel nach Indianapolis führt.
Der Regisseur: David Anspaugh
