Myself and a friend are trying to recall the title of an old move. The memorable scene (to m[ul]  
[/ul]e) of the movie was:

[ul]  
[li]College athlete comes to the team. Could have been HS, but think was college.[/li][li]Is doing really well on the team[/li][li]Meets coaches wife[/li][li]Has affair with coaches wife.[/li][li]Coach figures this out.[/li][li]Meets up with the kid in the weight room.[/li][li]Tells the kid he wants to show him a new exercise so turns the kid around and get him against a wall with his legs spread.[/li][li]Then the coach knees the kid horrifically in the balls.[/li][li]Coach walks off, kid is left in agony on the floor.[/li][/ul]  
Anyone recall the name of that movie ?

Could it be **Making It** (1971) starring Kristofer Tabori as the student? Here’s a detailed plot synopsis from The American Film Institute:

davida03801, you’re welcome. I was _glad_ to spend an hour researching my reply. Certainly, \*don’\*t feel impelled to acknowledge it. :rolleyes:

Maybe his coach kneed him in the balls and he’s not able to walk over the computer to confirm if you’re right.
