It Wasn’t Quite As Simple For Michael To Enroll In High School
In the film, Michael had a very spotty academic career with a lot of holes, but somehow the coach at Briarcrest used a religious angle to persuade his colleagues to allow the young man to enroll at the school. The teachers were not impressed with Michael’s initial performance and silent nature, but before long they realized that he wasn’t dumb and mute. In reality, coach Burt Cotton (played by Ray McKinnon) did convince administrators to accept Michael into the program; however, the principal decided that Michael would require several months of homeschooling before he could matriculate into the high school.

Sean Didn’t Notice Michael At A Volleyball Game
In the movie, Sean Tuohy meets Michael for the first time at a volleyball game. Sean saw Michael was cleaning up some trash in the stands. He approached Michael and introduced himself, but they don’t see each other again until Thanksgiving. What happened in real life was a bit different. Sean heard about Michael from his daughter and went to the high school to make sure he had enough food for lunch. Michael’s welfare was a big concern for the Tuohy’s.
