On court action combined with off court drama make this an exciting look at big time college hoops. Story focuses on the recruitment of 'blue chip' prospects that can make or break a season and a coach's career. Look for cameo by Bobby Knight.

Though it sometimes shows its' limitations of being made to premiere on network TV (it's not quite Goodfellas), Witness to the Mob is still a pretty effective portrayal of John Gotti, Sammy Gravano, and the Gambino crime family. The running time of 3 hours allowed the story time to develop. The cast reads as a who's who of the later Sopranos series. Tom Sizemore was fantastic as John Gotti, a boastful egomaniac. I wasn't sold on the performance of Nicholas Turturro as Sammy "the bull" Gravano, it was too positive, undoubtedly arising out of the perceived need for a protagonist. The real Gravano was certainly a sociopath.

A made for TV movie that should have went to the silver screen...Sammy the Bull's story told and narrated as of what happened to John Gotti leading up to his FINAL trial. Well narrated, Well paced...a heck of alot of stars in this....See it it is a winner!
