Pete Bell seemed to be a knock off of famed Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Coach, Bobby Knight, which always seemed a little off especially considering Knight actually, appeared in the film. Though the movie was known (or responsible) for launching the “acting career” of Shaquille O’Neal, Nolte was the film’s primary focus, as we watched him struggle with the changing game of College Basketball and the pressures of recruitment without violating the rules. The film probably did not go far enough, but that was not Nolte’s fault, which was really given a thin character to work with. Pete Bell may not get into our Hall of Fame, but maybe he can throw a chair at it when we build the facility.
