Re: Looks like Larry will be able to eat....
Reminds me of a story I heard about the movie "Blue Chips" and a scene with
Nick Nolte and Bob Cousy, who plays an assistant coach. They're in a gym,
and during the conversation, Cooz is shooting free throws, and the script
called for him to miss--but he was so ingrained to making free throws, he
couldn't miss--even going to the other hand. They ad-libbed a comment from
Nolte, and the scene ended up underscoring a basketball fundamental--put
the ball in the hoop.
