Miracle of St. Anthony: A Season with Coach Bob Hurley and Basketball's Most Improbable Dynasty -- This may be a Jersey City based team, but their's definately some Indiana theme in this story also. Overall, probably the best book on basketball I've ever read. Coach Bob Hurley is the real deal.

Lonesome Jim |
|
This film was written by my brother - James Strouse - and was a featured film at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Steve Buscemi, the movie was filmed in Indiana and has a struggling girls basketball team in the story. Casey Affleck plays the team's reluctant coach and Liv Tyler is one of the player's mom. |
