Marty,
Thanks for the info. Since the coach had way too many legal and other complications -- we used a fictional approach to the book, so it's based on the real story but with added changes. You'll recognize most of the characters -- but the mob people are all ficticious.
Maybe at some point, we can do a non-fiction about the players and their lives -- not mentioning the coach's connections -- that would make a good documentary -- looking back after 10 years -- the Hoosiers story.

I thought you were 30. The review of the book says it was based in 1970's and its a novel

unless I have the wrong book

ski = water ski or snow?

I think swimming (only did it at club level) was the hardest, most nut up sport there was...even harder than wrestling. I still to this day can not do the butterfly

The team I coach is not the champs. We are ok but not that good. Never said I that. Please get your facts right! The team I played for were the champs.

JEALOUS MUCH... Fucking tool!

snow. . .long boards (210 cm)

i swam winter and summer for 10 years. . .till i wrecked my shoulder (and my opportunity for a scholarship) skiing. . .mogul-bashing, caught a tip, flying face plant, seperated shoulder, broke the "ball" part of the bone off, surgery, screws, rods, bad things, lost some rotation in my left arm, wrecked my butterfly and backstroke. . .

Tennis, for a couple of years, much to the strenuous objection of my ballet teacher...haven't picked up a racket in years, though, I don't know anyone else who plays. In college I did crew...that was kinda fun. I got to yell at people and stuff.

soccer in high school(fall and spring)
when I moved down south I was a year younger than my class mates and thus was behind on the teenage growth curve
couldn't play offensive line and defensive line anymore in football
