“God wants you on the floor” a top line from a top sports movie

[@beedub93]

I love the grin on his face when Coach Dale tells him that God wants him on the floor.

[@AnthonyArgyros]

beedub93 my favorite scene in the movie !!

[@jculver1674]

He's like, "finally, you're speaking my language!"

i now so adorable

[@hibob418]

I love how they gave every one of the boys on the team their own signature moment. Such a great film

"Keep your strength in the dribble" - Most underrated line ever

[@matthewgallagher1761]

Gene Hackman - cool, down to earth, tough, smart, humane - who else could have played this role? Nobody. What a great actor and wish we had a few more like him today.

[@KidFresh71]

While I agree with your comment, Jack Nicholson was first offered the role of the Coach. And while it would've been a different movie, I think Jack could've pulled off the role.

[@thekingofmovies193]

@@KidFresh71 As much as I like Jack Nicholson, personally I think that Gene Hackman was a better choice.

​@@thekingofmovies193 the role was written for Jack Nicholson

[@thekingofmovies193]

@Chuck Tilley And I imagine that Jack Nicholson would've pulled a great performance, but I don't know how it would compare with the spark that Hackman has.

Coach: What's gotten into you? Strap: It's the Lord. I can feel His strength.

[@JZ2001JC]

Strap looked like he could dunk it. On his layup he slapped the backboard at the level of the rim.

[@StevenBohnel]

I read somewhere that he wanted to dunk it but the director said not to because it wouldn't be realistic for the time period.

[@matthewcarey3148]

I was an average pick up basketball player. But this scene gets to the truth that every once in a while, even decent players can have days when they just can’t miss. That ain’t god folks, that’s hoops baby!

[@gazelam]

Always reminds me of the line from Chariots of Fire: God made me for a purpose, but also made me fast.

[@christopherfoote4643]

Actually I think that line conveyed a lot more meaning than simply the coach instructing the player to get into gear. That was his way if telling him who is boss. It was Hackman losing his patience like he did with another player he punched out. In this circumstance he knew he had to say something or he couldn't win the game. He was telling him who was running it. He might have been a Christian and faithful and devoted but with respect to basketball it was him, taking over and he better listen if he wanted to play in the game.

Saw this movie at nationals north central college it inspire 4 track runners not bad 4 a hoop film

Strap did go to a christian university in Indiana before this movie...Taylor University

[@TheSBleeder]

Did he play ball there?

[@johnjared1280]

Not sure.

[@matthewcarey3148]

I believe the only actor that played college hoops was the one who played Rabe.

I can never understand why Christians think that there god is so interested in the outcome of sporting events. Maybe he helps the team he has money riding on.

[@jdpbuilder1787]

With that outlook on life there appears to be a lot you don’t understand

[@johnfairweather9188]

At my age, I understand more than you’ll ever know. What a stupid comment you made with just an assertion and nothing to back it up. Typical Christian.

​@@johnfairweather9188 You commented on a post about the movie Hoosiers, stating "I cannot understand why Christians believe that God is so interested in the outcome of sporting events." That comment alone signifies that you were likely with the group who took the short yellow bus to high school
