A Season on the Brink

ESPN original movie, based on the best-selling book by John Feinstein, which chronicles Indiana's 1985-86 season, when controversial basketball coach Bobby Knight granted Feinstein unprecedented access to his team and its practices, meetings, and huddles. We see dramatizations of some of Knight's infamous tantrums and the team's inter-personal struggles.
