Everyone reading this has seen Hoosiers but not so many The Mighty Macs. Cathy Rush taught Immaculata College to win. Plus there's a scene with Wonder Bread bags lining boots (been there, done that).
Here are some quotes:
"Trust is what makes teams win."
"Make sure you leave nothing behind."
"All she could think about was where she wasn't and what she didn't have."
On uniforms: "Who were these inspected by, Adam and Eve?"
"You need to break up with your ego."
"Catch, pivot, and pass."
"Ball movement and teamwork, that's how we break the press."
"Never let anyone get an easy basket."
"As you think, so shall you be."
"Help the helper. That is the way it works."
"Our results will not change until our habits change."
"How much are you willing to sacrifice?"
"The only way to protect these girls...is to make them stronger."
"Do you know why they (teams) win the championship?" (Heart)
"Anything can happen when we're committed to our dreams."
Coach Cathy Rush (149-15) was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008.
