What happens
That Championship Season is a 1999 American made-for-television drama film about the 20th reunion of four members of a championship high school basketball team and their coach. The film is based on Jason Miller's 1972 Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, and is the second film adaptation of the play, after the 1982 feature film. The film was directed by Paul Sorvino, who also stars as the coach; he had earlier appeared, as one of the former players, in both the original stage production and the 1982 film. In addition to Sorvino, That Championship Season stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Terry Kinney, Tony Shalhoub and Gary Sinise, who portray the four former players. The screenplay was by Miller, who had also written the screenplay for the 1982 film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
