William Friedkin continues his downward plunge as a filmmaker with another ill-conceived and poorly made movie. Nick Nolte plays a tightly strung college basketball coach who's shocked to discover that great players are bought, not recruited. Ed O'Neill is the sports reporter who starts riding him about the scandal. (That's right, Bobby Knight gets nailed by Al Bundy. And this flick isn't even a comedy.) J.T. Walsh plays the satanic director of the alumni association with a constant emphasis on overstatement. Only Shaquille O'Neal acts as if he knows what he's doing, both on and off the court. Even the basketball scenes (and there are only a few) are so badly shot that they're impossible to follow. Let's face it, this movie is so bad that it makes OSU's current season look good.
