Watching this is surreal. I grew up in a small town in Montana on the hi line and went to U of M from 1991 to 1996, playing sports. I knew some of the girls being interviewed in this documentary, but never really knew their backgrounds. For those of you who didn't know of the Lady Griz, let me tell you they were big time. The stadium was always packed and very loud. The players probably didn't know it at the time, but they were looked up to as "royalty" on campus. Brings back great memories. Very well done documentary and very very interesting.
This was great. I never even heard of the Lady Griz in Montana before this documentary. Thanks for posting this ...I love documentaries of all kinds but this one is sort of special.
What a beautiful story. I went to Northern Arizona also in the Big Sky conference and Rob Selvig and the Lady Griz were the team every season. One of the legendary coaches in our country!
Not only did he ensure women belonged on the court, he ensured those that were of Indian decent were given an opportunity. Moreover, he cared, he understood, and he impacted each woman player! Amazing story that I never knew and it’s stories like this that should be taught in schools to go along with our American History courses!
I only got into women's basketball last year. But this docuimentary is so outstanding, I have no doubt, that if I wasn't already a fan of the sport, I would become one today because of this.
As proud as we are of Now retired Coach Boulder and current Coach Jensen at Iowa, Coach Selvig certainly elevated the game of his players and the sport . Also, elevating and developing strong, confident people off the court is what great coaches strive to do. It was a joy to watch this documentary!
This would have been better if it was more about the development of women's basketball in general and much less about Robin Selvig. It was ok, but it could have been much better. Just to put my perspective in place, my mother played at what is now a DIII school in the mid-1950s. She had to contact other schools and find referees and collect gas money to get games scheduled and played. It's been a long-term emergence for women from the paternalistic way the US and other countries have treated women through the years.
I really, really wanted to watch this, but the background music is so loud that it's hard to hear the people being interviewed. Very distracting. Could not watch the video in its entirety.
This is the issue with Sports. There was a Black softball team's and Black women baseball teams which toured with churches. Their records were lost. There's a league, The Red Heads many don't speak to either.
@@WhoaBo Bo, if you looked up “triggered” in the dictionary, you would be there. Calm down. A simple “Probably not, but I am not sure” would suffice, sir.
The key is his success in recruiting and having success with the Native American community, and their success after leaving school. If you know anything, that's maybe more difficult and important than anything else
That was Montana back on the middle 70's. Maybe one or two even then would not surprise me and if there were any may not have been sports inclined. Seems like a thousand lite years away, but not really in the whole scheme of of our world and western society.
Just stop. The captions are awful - you went from left to right to center to left to right in a rapid succession to a point where I tried to read but everything was going so fast. You failed. I always had an enormous respect for Robin Selvig and his efforts at UM but the captions you produced are incredibly awful.

So emotional. a basketball story, an underdog story and a true story. Powerful.

After watching this, I will be a fan of the Lady Griz Basketball Ball team forever. Thank you for this fine documentary!

Outstanding!

Absolutely one of the best stories I’ve ever seen,
This is wonderful. I worked as a sports reporter, and I was always very enthusiastic about women’s sports. I’m glad to learn about this.
Fantastic doc.
🙏🏿💪🏿💯💪🏿💯💪🏿 PRICELESS 💪🏾💯💪🏿🙏🏾
Montana vs Boise State women's basketball game drew 10,000 during this time
Please do LIONESSES 2022/Footballers documentary.
Dove si trova il campo da basket più bello del mondo?!
Whereever Vittoria Blasigh is playing!

I’m sure you can find other documentaries about women’s basketball in general. This is about how he developed the program in Montana.
Wow. I appreciate you sharing what your mother did at that time to play basketball.
10/10 would watch that
I can remember we almost beat Tennessee i think

Were any Black women recruited?
This is the issue with Sports. There was a Black softball team's and Black women baseball teams which toured with churches.
Their records were lost.
There's a league, The Red Heads many don't speak to either.
Back then? Probably not, no local black families at that time. Now, probably so. This is a great story.
