Ben Affleck has abandoned his jump shot in Disney's Glory Road, the true-life story of Texas Western College basketball coach Don Haskins, whose all-black team won the NCAA finals in 1966. According to The Hollywood Reporter, disputes over profit shares caused the actor to back out of the film, which starts shooting within weeks. Disney is actively seeking a replacement and are reportedly courting A Beautiful Mind's Josh Lucas to take over the role.
