Background

Basketball Coach is the coach for the Atlanta Rebels basketball team in Atlanta, Georgia.

During the events of The Visitor (1979) played by Steve Beizer

In Atlanta, Georgia, Self-Sportscaster is giving a play by play of a basketball game between the San Francisco Miners and the Atlanta Rebels. Raymond Armstead, Barbara Collins and Susan are watching the game as a player gets injured while playing. The ball is placed at the half-court and the Rebels, who were losing, start to even the score. There is a timeout and Sportscaster walks over to Raymond and asks him why he thinks the Rebels are suddenly doing well that season. Basketball Coach gives his team some pointers and the players go back onto the court. Sportscaster keeps on asking Raymond where he is getting his money from and he finally tells him god. The injured player goes back into the game and as he is about to make the game winning dunk, the hoop flashes with electricity and explodes and the injured player misses the shot and Atlanta wins the game.
