This documentary is quite a fun to watch. What a great coach and a decent human being. Those young women who coached are all great persons not just great athletes. Both the coach and this great Montana female basketball team has become the pioneers to make the women's basketball so popular today. When a documentary is well done, it'd deeply move you and even made you in teary eyes, this one just did it. What a fascinating viewing experience. When we saw "In memory of..." those two great basketball players already past away, we just felt sad at that moment. One more thing that stood out by this documentary is that the women's basketball popularity has also helped many talented native American young women to have the opportunity to become successful in higher education and careers.

Plot summary
Underfunded and sidelined by men's athletics, the Lady Griz, as they came to be known, bloomed under the fresh Title IX regulations that brought equal funding, scholarships and facilities to women's collegiate sports. Selvig's hard-driving style took the team from humble roots playing before empty stands and built them into the preeminent women's basketball program west of the Rockies. Underfunded and sidelined by men's athletics, the Lady Griz bloomed under the fresh Title IX regulations that brought equal funding, scholarships and facilities to women's collegiate sports. Selvig's hard-driving style took the team from humble roots, playing before empty stands, and built them into the preeminent women's basketball program west of the Rockies.Coach Selvig's pioneering approach recruited young women not only from the small towns and one-room schoolhouses of Big Sky Country's ranching and farming communities, but also the sprawling Native reservations across the state. He drilled his young charges in the fundamentals, with an inclusive, barrier-breaking philosophy new for its time: he expected them to play just as hard as the men. Flanked and empowered by his female assistant coaches, drawn from the ranks of his former players, Selvig created a home --a family --leading generations of athletes to conference championships and NCAA appearances.
