ESPN original movie, based on the best-selling book by John Feinstein, which chronicles Indiana's 1985-86 season, when controversial basketball coach Bobby Knight granted Feinstein unprecedented access to his team and its practices, meetings, and huddles. We see dramatizations of some of Knight's infamous tantrums and the team's inter-personal struggles.

Awesome movie if you can tolerate the language
Brian Dennehy is outstanding in his role as Indiana Hoosiers coach Bobby Knight. Although he is very emotionally abusive and brash with his language towards his players, he only yells in order to get his players to win. This movie also shows the caring tender side of Bobby Knight to help get his team on the winning side after starting out with a crappy season

This would have been good for the big screen. I did not know Knight was like this. He was extremely hurtful towards his players.

THE COACH FROM HELL - BOBBY KNIGHT!
I watched this movie on ESPN some time ago, and despite the strong language, I really enjoyed this film. It was a bit depressing at times seeing Bobby Knight struggling as the coach of an underdog Indiana basketball team (the Hoosiers). He had a very bad temper, but all he wanted was to be a successful coach and make his basketball team play better. And for some reason that just didn't happen. This film is somewhat exhausting at times but enjoyable nonetheless. Sure, it contains a lot of profanity, but I still liked it. I can't wait to buy it on home video. If you wish to know the true story of Bobby Knight, then get this video. The adult language is surely not for the entire family, but basketball fans of this sort of thing will probably like it. It just depends on your taste for movies. I'm not a basketball fan at all, but I still found this movie to be quite interesting. Bobby Knight, love him or hate him, will go down in history as one of the most greatest hard-boiled basketball coaches of all time. "If you wanna be liked, then don't be a coach" - Bobby Knight.
