Hinkle Shines On The Big Screen

If you ask most people about the movie Hoosiers they will talk about the scene where Gene Hackman takes a tape measure to show his team that the basket is just ten feet off the court. He tries to show them that even though they are in this gigantic stadium that everything is the same as far as the court goes to their home gym. It is a great scene, and the ending of that scene is even better when Coach Dale tells one of his coaches that it is huge. I have been lucky enough to photograph a ton of games in this gym. I always think of that scene when I first walk out onto the court.

40 Years Of Hoosiers

This week we will have the 40 year anniversary of the movie Hoosiers being released. This movie is a must see if you are an Indiana high school basketball game. When the movie came out it was a big deal. We made a point to go to our local theater to watch it. It has been really cool to see some of the places where it was filmed up close and personal.
