Continuity mistake: During the Kentucky game, in the second half, Shed passes the ball to Artis, then Artis passes it to Cager and Cager spins it off the backboard. Well on the bench you see Shed cheering for Cager, while the announcer is announcing what just took place. (01:41:10)

Answer: Yes. He really did integrate them to teach them to work as a team and give them guidance to help them off the field (such as with school work). His coaching method shown in the film is also accurate. Coaches screaming at the players, mocking them, and being what we would say is "harsh" with them was common coaching practice in the 70s that no-one would have batted an eye to. Especially in the south. Coach Boone would have especially been under pressure to show his players he meant business due to the concern that some of them might not take him seriously as a new black coach. If he had been seen as "easy", the team may not have been motivated to do as well as they did.
