Which character in "Hoosiers" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Hoosiers." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. [to Jimmy Chitwood] You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you play on the team or not.

  2. Stick with your man. Think of him as chewing gum. By the end of the game, I want you to know what flavor he is.

  3. Welcome to Indiana basketball.

  4. Let's win this game for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here.

  5. [Just before the big game] And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen.

  6. [a player complains about the training] You are in the Army. You're in my Army. Everyday between three and five.

  7. You got to promise me that you're not gonna get thrown out of any more games.

  8. I love you guys.

  9. I'll make it.

  10. I know everything there is to know about the greatest game ever invented.

  11. There's a, um tradition in tournament play- not talk about the next step until you've climbed the one in front of you. I'm sure going to the state finals is beyond your wildest dreams, so let's just keep it right there.

  12. [to shorter player] Didn't know they grew 'em so small on the farm.
