Who will IU basketball turn to next?

·

Fit for Hollywood

·

How’s this for a plot line: Team Hollywood, in the midst of a conference championship race, loses its coach for reasons beyond its control. The team members are rather peeved after hearing the news that their leader has been dismissed and several players skip practice the day before an important game to protest the decision. They blow off some steam. They rage against the injustice of it all. Then, they have a change of heart. Everyone boards the team plane the next day, and Team Hollywood pulls out a three-point victory with a new head coach to continue its pursuit of a championship.
