A Season on the Brink is a 2002 film. Based on John Feinstein entitled A Season on the Brink which detailed the 1985-86 season of Indiana University's men's basketball team, led by the controversial coach Bobby Knight, the film became the first ESPN television movie, premiering on March 10, 2002.
The movie was filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and is notable for its prevalent use of profanity, intended to accurately represent Knight's tirades. The premiere of the movie was simulcast on ESPN with the unexpurgated version and ESPN2 with all profanities censored.[1][2] Future airings were of the uncensored version. The movie was also released on DVD in late 2002.
