Continuity mistake: After Texas beats Kentucky, Willie Cager runs up into the stands to hug his mom and it looks to be a very long hug but in the very next shot he is seen on the floor with the rest of the team and he is holding the ball in the air.

Answer: Yes. He really did integrate them to teach them to work as a team and give them guidance to help them off the field (such as with school work). His coaching method shown in the film is also accurate. Coaches screaming at the players, mocking them, and being what we would say is "harsh" with them was common coaching practice in the 70s that no-one would have batted an eye to. Especially in the south. Coach Boone would have especially been under pressure to show his players he meant business due to the concern that some of them might not take him seriously as a new black coach. If he had been seen as "easy", the team may not have been motivated to do as well as they did.
