Hoosiers (3/12) Movie CLIP - Benching Rade on Principle (1986) HD

[@moviejunkpodcast]

That smile that Dennis Hopper gives is priceless!

[@matthanf6126]

Loved how he stood his ground and says...'I RUN THIS TEAM!' He sent the message!

[@crimony3054]

He was working on the star player's family, who wouldn't let the star player play.

[@buffalobraves9]

There's two people in the gym besides him that understand what he's doing, Shooter and Myra. The look on Shooter's (Dennis Hopper's) face is brilliant and say's everything. He get's it.

[@grovergarver3104]

Myra doesn't quite get it yet. She's close but she doesn't know enough about Basketball to fully get it. But she's starting to get that this guy isn't just a typical basketball coach and maybe he's something special. Shooter, of course, fully gets it and that smile and knowing look on his face in a gym full of people that don't get it, really makes the scene.

[@TheRainmaker5179]

Shooter was a real asshole in Blue Velvet

[@tygeezy]

John Boutet Except neither get it because passing the ball a certain amount of times doesn’t equal higher scoring efficiency. Simply finding and taking the most efficient shot is what is desirable on an offensive possession. It doesn’t matter if it’s no passes or 6.

[@ajs5435]

She fully knows

[@blacksabfan]

@@tygeezy That's not the point. The point is that the coach gave specific instructions on how the offense was supposed to run. Rade was openly insubordinate and that's why he was not only taken out of the game, but wasn't allowed to go back in to complete a full squad on the floor. The coach understands completely about "efficiency" and "scoring", but this is the first game of the year, and he expects the team to run a certain system , which will open up scoring opportunities for all players, where you're no longer counting passes before shooting, but willingly moving the ball around to find the best shot. Not just firing it up from 25 feet everytime. Rade made a couple baskets in the scene above, but that was only done in the movie to make Coach's decision seem even crazier to nearly everyone in the gym, except Shooter. Besides, Rade's shots didn't flip the score. At the start of the scene they are down 10, when he leaves the game, they are still down 9. That was also done on purpose to make the audience understand that a one-man offense, while effective for a short time, is not a long term way to win basketball games.

[@elmalevojj]

Every time I watch this scene, I shed a tear or two. Reminds me when I was a young kid playing t-ball and my dad was the coach. He always told me to stop trying to hit a home run and just put the ball into play. Sometimes I would, other times I didn't. One time when I didn't listen, I fouled out during a crucial inning. When the inning was over, I picked up my glove and started to head out to the outfield. When my dad saw what I was doing he basically did what Hackman did in this scene. He benched me and we played with two in the outfield. I was crushed and hurt, but later, learned my lesson.

[@Jesse-nl7tc]

[@elmalevojj]

[@matthanneman7511]

A lot more people in the crowd should have known what they don't know. All the fans are spectators, though many should understand the game because they live in Indiana. Regardless, the spectators aren't in the huddle or on the bench with the coach. If the crowd had questions, they should have consulted the coach a few days later or the officials.

[@bauerj3398]

Rade had game. He was a starter on a Indiana State Championship team, and he was playing college basketball when this film was shot. The players actually had to be somewhat 'detrained' for the movie, teaching them to present their game in a more of a 1950's fashion (ex. the little one-footed running jump shot).

[@AZ-hg6kw]

That's Dennis Hopper. He became a director and was the villain in Waterworld. He was a magnificent individual and deserves every plaudit. An amazing person. Easy Rider. He was also an amazing guy.

[@RichV20]

Dennis Hopper had burnt a lot of bridges as an actor and director for almost a decade. This was at his nadir. He was in Hoosiers and Blue Velvet, both which came out in the Fall of 1986 and he was back. He remained a popular actor for the rest of his career after Hoosiers.

[@terrycamerlengo5492]

Ha ha. Dennis hopper. He was great.

[@FakeAFSongLyrics]

As a coach, I’ve done something very similar. Had 8 players and 4 of 5 starters basically ignored everything I said in locker room to start the game. Took four guys out and subbed three in. Played a couple of possessions four on five to let them get the message. Went from down 8-0 to winning by 20.

It was about getting that team and for the community to “trust the process.” Winning doesn’t happen overnight!

[@scottdecker9115]

I agree. You know what they say: "Any time you bring in a new regime, there's an adjustment period, and unfortunately, you have to have that adjustment during the season. Obviously the team got off to a rough start, but when they got Jimmy back, and Dale gained the trust of the players, Myra, & Shooter, they finally were able to make a smooth transition.

[@jakedrago7805]

Coach was trying to implement a system where the team functions as one unit where they pass the ball around and control the clock( pre shot clock era) limiting opponents possessions and scoring opportunities as well as dictating the flow and pace of the game . One player just hurrying shots even if he’s hitting them throws a wrench in the whole strategy and while it may look good to the fans he’s setting the team up to be worn down and gassed by a team with bigger faster players and more depth .

[@bumaximous45]

That was clearly a message, of saying you don't do what your coach tells you to do, you get benched and doesn't matter if the game is on the line.

Later on in Hoosiers when Buddy got knocked into the trophy case in the regional finals, Coach Dale was ready to just wipe the blood off of Buddy's back and put him back in the game.
