Tim Chambers uses the word uncomfortable to describe his first meeting with former Immaculata University women’s basketball coach Cathy Rush. Chambers wanted to make a movie about her Mighty Macs, about her life.

So what was the problem?

"She was guarded. That’s the best way to describe it," Chambers said this week. "Once she explained to me why, it made sense. She said to me, ’I’ve been through this now for 35 years. I’ve had people come to me saying I want to do a movie about the Mighty Macs. Every time, it ended up in disappointment.’ "

This time, however, Rush quickly surmised the story had a chance for a new ending.
