There is a moment early in the 1986 classic Hoosiers, when Coach Norman Dale introduces his new team to the fans at Hickory High School.
It’s just a six man team at this point – well, more like five and a half with Ollie as the sixth man. Buddy Luper has quit the team, threatening to transfer to Terhune, and the gifted Jimmy Chitwood has decided not to play basketball.
As the team lines up across the court, the fans who jam the stands start chanting, “We want Jimmy … We want Jimmy!” (Apparently, nobody is upset by Buddy’s absence).
