Hoosiers Film Adaptation
The movie Hoosiers was a great story that dealt with many of the topics covered in our readings for this week. The story is about a small-town Indiana basketball team that overcomes many challenges to win the state championship. The main character of the movie is Norman Dale, a passionate basketball coach that faces many obstacles in his attempt to teach his players about the benefits of working together as a team.

The coach also had to deal with intergroup conflict between the team and the townspeople. The team did not want to hear someone telling them what to do. They also did not believe in each other. There was one short player out of all of them which they constantly picked on. The coach did not take that type of hazing and made them work on training together to build interpersonal relationships where in the end proved that they did have the ability to work together effectively and efficiently.
