Over the course of the film, he learns how to coach the girls, and helps develop a competitive team at a school where girls' basketball had never been supported before. He arrives to coach the boys team, but is maneuvered into the coaching job for the girls. The film focuses on the character of the coach of a girls' basketball team in a small town in western Oklahoma during his first years at the school in 1964-66. The screenplay is an adaptation of a novel written for juveniles, Brief Garland, by Harold Keith, which was first published in 1974. I just saw a screening of this independent film at the Santa Barbara film festival. I'm surprised that on IMDb men liked this movie more than women, very strange. Plus I met Robert (the Director) on several occasions during the festival and he's such a nice and heartwarming guy, I wish him much success (Hey Robert, I'm the one who drove you to the Casino Night from the Amangani -) ). I hope they will find a good distributor for this movie this would be the feel-good movie of the year. Through a series of victories, for the team and for the girls, he will make his basketball team a well respected one in town and among the competing high schools. He's totally against it but he has no choice, while he gains the respect and support of the girls, the town folks take a dislike for him because of his methods and because in their mind a girls team is not worth of interest. The storyline is very simple: in the 60's a young basketball coach moves to small town Oklahoma to coach the male team of the local high school but he's rerouted instead to the female team.

Marquette is having a send-off for the team Wednesday at 1:15 p.m. I hope we have a whole bunch more games to watch, but no matter what we'll be cheering and we'll be excited and proud," Kim said. "I think this is just that you gotta go out big and give it your all and do everything you possibly can because this is what you worked for and now's the time. Kim is hoping for a long post-season run, but since it is Chloe's senior year she knows any game could be the last game. They stand in line for autographs, they make little arts and crafts presents that they bring the women on the team and I just love it." "There's so many young kids that come and watch and they have signs, whether it's Chloe's name or Jordan's name, different pictures of everyone on the team. "Having a daughter that's involved and helping elevate it and all the young girls that come to the games and watch the team as a role model is just really something you would hope and dream of," Kim said about her daughter's success and influence. She says it's also been special watching her daughter excel and shine a spotlight on women's sports over the years. "The blue and gold is long and true in our family and we really enjoy everything about Marquette and certainly basketball," Kim said.
