They said for them to do a movie enough time would have to pass for that to happen for historical significance. Yep. Best case scenario is 8-9 years that’s how long between moneyball and the As. I do expect an author to try and get a book out on this team asap before next season even. Quote

Yeah, Pizzo was on Hoosier Hysterics and said it was too soon because we all just lived through the real events and everyone would focus on comparing the accuracy of a movie to the real thing instead of letting the filmmaker translate the story into art. He also told this story which I'm going to share here because I love it and I have been looking for it for weeks: Quote Okay, this is this the contrast between Tom Allen and Coach Cig. I was told this and I don't know if it was in confidence or it was secondhand. This is going to be close to the truth if not exactly. He was being shown around when he first--cause everything happened very quickly and he actually, you know, he made the deal before he actually ever got on campus. So they showed him his office and he went in and the office was pretty much cleaned out from Tom Allen, but there were there were some LEO stuff. I don't know if it was a poster or hat or something like that. And coach said to this guy who was showing him around, he said, "Who's Leo? Who's this Leo guy?" He said, "Oh, it's uh it it it was his big,"--you know, it's on all the lockers. "It it's like Love Each Other is like Tom Allen's mantra, so on and so forth." Coach Cig looked at this guy and said, "I never want to see that again. Take it off the lockers." Clearly like he didn't want to lead with that. like that's not the mantra of his culture. . . . But the loving each other is clearly happening at Indiana, but it's a result of hard work and accountability and holding each other to a high standard and all of the things that Cig wants to happen. If you do those things, you can't help but play for each other because, you know, so it's a result. You don't lead with that. go iu bb, southsidehoosier, OliviaPope40 and 1 other 4 Quote

With all the storylines I think it has got to be like four or five one hour parts. There is so much to cover. southsidehoosier and OliviaPope40 2 Quote
