---

Yeah. they did.|They did the best they could.

Don't put the game tapes|in the VCR.

- We'll just watch this tonight.|- Not tonight.

All right.

You should've pressured|the guards more.

Yeah. we should've pressured|their guards.

but we're not quick enough.

That's the good stuff. coach.

You're gonna drink like a fish.|there's some cheap stuff in the kitchen.

Now you're trying to slow me down?

Always.

- How was your day?|- My day?

I had 20 first-graders|making valentines.

Yeah. hearts are tough to cut out.

Easier than pumpkins.

Yeah. well...

Honey. you okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

Oh. that damn Ed Axe.|He'll be in on the Daily News rider.

He brought up|the alleged incident again.

That's bullshit.

I'm looking at my first losing season.|I just can't handle it.

Don't you think it's a bit much|for a 50-year-old man

to be kicking basketballs|up into the stands?

- I hope it didn't hit anybody.|- No.

I just- I don't do well|with losing. do I?

You've won two|national championships.

Go on.

This is two more|than most coaches dream of.

You've won eight conference titles.|I don't call this losing.

You've got great kids.

The cleanest program in America.|They all graduate.

You make a lot of money doing exactly|what it is what you wanna do.

- I could go on and on.|- No. do. Do.

I'm not going to.|because I'll get angry.

Do you like it when I'm angry|because it turns you on?

- You think it's sexy?|- I do.

- Do I look sexy?|- Yes. you do.

Suppose you wanna do|a little one-on-one?

Can I stay here tonight?

No.

- Oh. come on. What do you say?|- No. Come on. let's go.

Come on. come on. Let's go.

Why are we divorced. again?

Because you're impossible|to live with.

- Besides that.|- Good night.

Texas Western 74,|Western University 59.

The Dolphins out of it, now at.500

and in danger of their first|losing season under Pete Bell.

In closing, it is time to tell Coach Petey|Bell of the Western University Dolphins

to take a hike.

He has clearly lost the touch|he once had.

This year's team|is the least disciplined,

the least fundamentally sound squad|we've seen in years,

and his sideline antics are becoming|boorish and embarrassing.

To the alumni, to the chancellor,|to the athletic director Vic Roker,

it is time to tell Coach Petey Bell|to take a hike.

Move it. move it. move it!

Keep your spacing.|Keep your spacing there. Phil.

Widen out.|Where's the goddamn spacing?

When I'm coming down here|and I'm setting this screen.

give it here.|Lock him off. Lock him off!

Don't get lazy on us. Come on. Rick!

Set it. Roll. Tony!

Tony. when you get on this screen.|you've gotta get this foot locked here.

If your footwork is here and this|is open. you're trying to rotate.

he's got all the room in the world.|But if you lock here...

Now try to go this way. Steve.

See? But if you got this foot back.|here. set the screen like this.

now I'm trying to rotate.|I can't get there.

But if I set this foot in here|and I rotate. I'm here.

Tony. son. it's footwork.

All right. let's go. Let's go.

Got that?

Spin and roll.|Hit and spin.

Move right to the basket.

Free throws!

- Tony! Tony. come here.|- What's up. coach?

You've been looking down lately.|What's going on?

- How you doing in your classes?|- Well. actually. I'm flunking a class.

- You're flunking a class? What class?|- TV.

TV? How can you be flunking TV?

Coach. that's a tough class.|You don't just watch the tube.

How's it going with that little girl?

Oh. man. she's cool. She's not|pregnant after all. It's all right.

Now. remember.|you've got a responsibility there.

so you take care of her. all right?

- All right. go on back in.|- All right. coach.

Mel. come here.

Get a tutor for Tony for TV. all right?

Freddie. take Tony.

Take him to a pharmacy|and get him some prophylactics.

Coach! Come on. baby.|what's wrong? Coach.

When other teams used to come in|and see these banners.

it scared them to death.

All these banners were worth. what.|eight points anyway.

But everything changes. huh?

Everything changes. coach.

Yeah. there's very little in life|that man's got a control over.

Things just happen.

so when you got a chance to|make a statement. you gotta do it.

We haven't been|making a statement.

When we were winning conference|titles and going to the Final Four.

we were making a statement.

The kids are working|as hard as they can. you know.

They just don't have the talent.

Yeah. well. I can't beat anybody|with banners.

I need players. I need horses.

You got horses.|What you need are thoroughbreds.

Well. everybody in the country is|buying these kids out of high school.

giving them cars and money|under the table. God knows what.

Don't you ever miss?

That's the idea of the game.|put the ball in the hole.

There's two reasons I'm incapable|of cheating. Wanna hear them?

Tell me.

One. if I break the rules...

...and I get caught.|I'll get kicked out of coaching.

And what's the second reason?

I might not get caught.

Miss the goddamn ball once.|will you?

Jesus Christ.

You can't even miss left-handed.

All right. does anybody know|what this is?

- A heart.|- That's what it is.

It's a goddamn heart.|That's what it is.

Boy. I'm beginning to think there's|some intelligence in this room.

Now. if you guys show me|you got one of these.

we're gonna win this game tonight.

- Tony. you got one of these?|- Yes. sir.

Tony. do you know|what we're trying to do on defense.

- how it triggers our transition game?|- Yes. sir.

Do you think the entire team|understands what we're trying to do?

Good. because I'm holding you|personally responsible

for this whole team|understanding this philosophy.

- Do you accept that responsibility?|- Yes. sir.

Phil. get in for Dwayne.

Byron. come here.

Nice pass. Tony.

Play it all the way through. let's go.

Good steal. Mitch. Good steal.

Post him up. Richie.|Post him up. baby. Post him up.

Yeah. take him. take him.

Nigel. get back! Full speed!

Pick up the open man. Richard!|Oh. sh*t!

- Protect the ball!|- Sh*t!

Get your hands up. Man. come on.

Hey. coach. you better|get a new day job.

Have you given it any thought

you may be 20 minutes away|from your first losing season?

These kids have played their heart out.|I'm not answering that bullshit.

I don't mean to ruffle feathers.|Good luck in the second half.

- Pick up your man.|- Move out on the ball!

Move out on the ball!

Pick up on the point guard. make|the point guard have to work in there.

Whoever's got the point guard.

pick him up high and keep him|going to his left in there.

Set her up. Tony. Nice move.

Take it. Take it. Tony. Take it.

Yeah. yeah. got you!

All right!

That's what we need.

- Better get them rebounds.|- Do it!

Too many offensive rebounds.|Let's go.

Come on. guys. come on.

Move the ball.|Lay it out. lay it out.

- Get back! Full speed!|- Somebody gonna block out Rogers?

Somebody gonna block out|Rogers tonight?

His tenth dunk tonight. guys. let's go.
