Sundance Wicks, the coach of Green Bay men's basketball team, has led a remarkable turnaround from a 3-29 record last season to 17 wins this season. Wicks, known for quoting movies, aims to break the all-time one-year turnaround record. His unconventional coaching methods and personal journey, including experiences with homelessness and MMA, have shaped the team's success.
