Worst fictional coaching decision in movie/TV show

[Batman]

Pretty sure that scene is in the regular movie, the final scene before the credits.

I've always been surprised they've never done a sequel to "Tin Cup" -- you'd think it had to be fairly fun for the cast members and not too extravagant a budget to do the remake -- even though Costner, Russo and Don Johnson are former A-listers, none of them are pulling in mega-paychecks anymore.

They could do some kind of "Silver Cup" sequel now, where the Senior/Legends Tour or a national sports cable network tries to set up a 25th anniversary rematch, etc etc.

Yeah, I remember seeing the couch scene the first time I watched it on HBO or one of the pay channels, but every time it's on regular cable they seem to cut it off after the U.S. Open ends.

A sequel should deal with his one moment of fleeting fame becoming a distant memory. Like he's managed to become a marginal and aging Tour player who usually finishes T-37 or something like that. Good enough to keep doing it and make a comfortable living, but he's never won on the Tour or really even come close to another major.
He's grinding and grinding but not going anywhere, then decides to hang it up after one last run at the U.S. Open. Naturally, he plays out winds up being faced with the same situation as 20 years ago -- lay up on 18 or go for it.
He goes for it.
And drills it to win.
And walks off into the sunset.

What would @Alma think of that movie? Or Civil War-era reviewer Jebediah Atkinson?

I always felt like Tin Cup was more about being remembered. Maybe it had to do with the string of Some Guys winning the U.S. Open a lot around that time, but I always felt liked the 12 on 18 was something that was always going to be remembered (maybe like Jean Van de Velde) whereas few people probably remember what year Steve Jones won the Open.

Now, granted, ask any golfer which he'd rather have, and he'd take the Open win. But that McAvoy's story was of the club pro with a once-in-a-lifetime chance, went for it, never gave in and took his 12, only to never be heard from again, seems fitting (and plays a lot like amateur Billy Joe Patton's chase at The Masters). The movie, in my opinion, stands stronger without a sequel.

1. Why does Bombay put in Julie "The Cat" Gaffney for the last shooter of the Iceland shootout when she hadn't played at any point in the damned Junior Goodwill Games?
2. Why does Bombay give Charlie Conway's roster spot to some kid from South Central whose "knucklepuck" probably misses the net 9 times out of 10 anyway and has probably not skated on ice in ever?
3. Why was Henry Rowengartner allowed to stay in the game after suffering a major fall onto his throwing arm?

To name a few.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Not that a jury would convict her, but how did Rowengartner's mom not get arrested for punching out her boyfriend?

Maybe this one has been said already (not going back through 7 pages), but ...
