I truly love this documentary about a middle aged filmmaker (Jane Pittman),who returned to the sports she love and left over 4 decades ago! It nice to have Simone Edwards, a former WNBA player, who have won a championship ring with the Seattle Storm team in 2004, to serve as the filmmaker's team coach and tried to guide them to the final tournament run (1st, 2nd and 3rd place Medal rounds) but Ms Pittman's team fell short of the medal round competition! Due to her fellow teammates (and herself as well) injuries plagued their first season tournament going home without winning a medal at all, which Coach Simone Edwards cried her eyes out! I really feel their pain and emotional hurts

Plot summary
43 years ago Jane Pittman, a promising basketball star at her small town High School, ran off the court never to return ... until now. When Jane stumbles across the Nova United Senior Women's Basketball League, old passions are reignited. Vowing to get into the best shape of her life, she is determined to play competitive ball again. What she never expected to find on this journey is a passionate group of seniors who have decided to 'wear out, before we rust out'. Choosing basketball over bingo, these women come together for much more than sports. 'Coming Back To The Hoop' is a film about the transforming power of basketball and the healing it brings when you connect with something larger than yourself and give yourself over to the team.
