Though her team has no gym and no uniforms, and the school itself is in danger of being sold, Coach Rush looks to steer her girls to their first national championship.
She's the only applicant for the coaching position at tiny Immaculata College in Pennsylvania. The school owns one basketball. Its gym has just burned down. The salary is $450 a season. Her mission is explained by the school president, Mother St. John (Ellen Burstyn): The point isn't winning; it's keeping the girl's hormones under control.
From this point, we know from countless other movies that Immaculata will win the national championship. In case there's a shred of doubt, the ads reassure us. Hoi4 best german division. You don't get a movie made about you by starting without a gym and going on to build a good second-place team. We also know with certainty that the film will end with the Big Game. That is right and proper. What we hope for, however, are memorable characters, colorful dialogue and a few surprises along the way.
The biggest surprise for me was the character of Ed Rush, Cathy's husband. In a film populated by nice people, he comes across as a louse. Remember the movie is set in 1971, when Male Chauvinist Pig was a term in everyday use. Ed is a gold-plated MCP. He complains that Cathy's coaching duties mean she's late getting home and doesn't tend to her wifely duties. He takes no interest in her team. Nor, although they are recently married, does he seem to feel any stirrings of affection and lust. The basketball team is certainly working to keep his hormones under control.
You know the movie, written and directed by Tim Chambers, is going to have to move the louse's character from A to B. The turning point is a solid brass cliche. On an away trip, he phones home, says he's delayed and then asks, 'How was your game?' 'We won,' she says. 'And .. thanks for asking.' Because he never had before. He takes a beat. 'I love you,' he says.

What changed? I dunno. Maybe be heard the team was winning. Edius pro 8. In movies like this, there's always a climactic scene where the absent parent/teacher/authority is found sitting in the stands. Sure enough, for the final game, the camera cuts to Ed in the bleachers, who gives his wife a proud, if not effusive, nod.
