season on the brink be one of my favorite book of all time an insightful unflinching look at bob knight and his indiana hoosier . and dennehy be one of my favorite support actor of all time . so i make a point of watch this adaptation . it disappoint on every level . dennehy performance be less than inspire and and he seem unprepared to play knight like he have accept the role just prior to film . the rest of the cast isn not much well . and it be obvious that this be espn first movie . it be poorly direct and poorly film and and the lack of budget be obvious anytime game be be simulate ( small gym and empty seat and etc . ) skip this adaptation and read the book it hold up well to this day .
