- A sequel with Butch coaching, drawing on Hardaway’s real coaching career, is proposed as Butch’s Boys.
- The premise is considered especially well suited to an eight-episode streaming series from 2012 onward.
- An early-2000s sequel would return Pete to coaching with Neon as assistant against Ricky, now the dirtiest college coach.
- A 2025 variation pits Butch against Ricky with Neon assisting; the heckler would host an influential Take a Hike podcast calling for coaches’ firings.
- Another sequel sends Pete to Montana State to rebuild honestly, then face Western and Freddie in a 15-versus-2 tournament matchup, recalling Friday Night Lights’ school rivalry.
