Did some of the people catch on to, and understand the coach Dale's tactics?
What did Shooter possibly do for work?
What part of the state would Hickory have been located?
As small as the school was, would there have been that many fans in the stands?
Who was the other assistant coach beside Shooter and the principal?
"Did some of the people catch on to, and understand the coach Dale's tactics?"
We know some of them did, such as Shooter, Opal, Jimmy and the man who had two sons (Whit and Rade) on the team.
"What did Shooter possibly do for work?"
Probably odd jobs, when he was sober.
"As small as the school was, would there have been that many fans in the stands?"
It was the only entertainment for the town.
"Who was the other assistant coach beside Shooter and the principal?"
The man who had two sons on the team.
Hickory is based on Milan a tiny town with 1000 or so people. Myra actually says Hickory is not on many state maps which is why she was shocked Dale heard of this school and how they were hiring a coach/civics teacher. Milan is in the South east of Indiana if you look up a map.
