- A 2002 Hoosiers diary reconstructed the title-game box score: Jimmy 14 for 18 for 30 of the 42 points; the count is revisited with 26 points and 13 of 14 seen.
- Hoosiers did not invent the slow clap; Brubaker (about 1980) did, though Hoosiers has the best one.
- Coach Dale and Hickory are proposed as the most-played movie characters on NBA Jumbotrons, ahead of Animal House and Braveheart; a classroom clip is identified as Network.
- The pass-four-times rule might even help the 2022 Celtics.
- The Buddy Dentyne ('Dentine') scene was never used in a Dentyne ad; gum preferences include Mentos.
- Jimmy's next 15 years: maybe college at Indiana and dropping out quickly, like Larry Bird leaving Indiana under Bobby Knight.
- Norman Dale's next 10 years: maybe the punching incident resurfaces and he is canceled, or he follows Myra to Chicago and coaches under a new name.
