From the film archives: 'Hoosiers' a great, feel-good flick
Hoosiers
Actor Gene Hackman gives fictional Hickory High basketball players instructions during filming of the final game of the movie “Hoosiers” at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Dec. 6, 1985, on the Butler University campus in Indianapolis.
Basketball is nearly inescapable this time of the year. The NCAA Men’s Final Four Championship is right around the corner and people are obsessing over the brackets. Since most basketball players started out in high school, I decided to honor that origin by revisiting the 1986 film “Hoosiers.”
