User reviews 14 Review. Top review. The Coach And His Boys. But even with Miller himself writing an introductory prologue for the screen it never quite loses its stage origins. I have to say that Miller tried though, he was clearly influenced by the film adaption of Long Day's Journey Into Night where the Tyrone house almost becomes a character unto itself.
But the coach's house in this film does not quite have the same grandeur. What's reuniting Coach Robert Mitchum and his boys from the state championship basketball team is the re-election campaign of Bruce Dern one of the members. The other three of the four remaining starting five are brothers Stacy Keach and Martin Sheen and Paul Sorvino who is now one of the richest men in town.
Keach is now the principal of the high school where he was a star athlete and his brother Sheen is a ne'er do well drunk. They've all got their secrets and during the coach's efforts to get his boys working in tandem again a lot of dirty little secrets come out about all of them. Mitchum was not the original choice for the part of the coach, the role was slated for William Holden who died before shooting could start.
According to Lee Server's biography of Mitchum, Bob had real difficulty with the role because he was not particularly a sports fan, of basketball or anything else for that matter. He had a hardscrabble life as a kid and didn't do much or learn much in the way of sports. It was part he could never quite get into, especially using all the sports idioms to make a point.
