Did anyone know about this movie?

Set in Oklahoma in the mid-'60s, "Believe in Me" is the story of a young man whose dreams of coaching boys' high-school basketball are derailed when the school board assigns him to the girls' basketball team instead. The girls and the coach eventually earn each other's trust, and despite the opposition of the conservative town, learn how to play to win.

Why is the town opposed to girls' basketball?

I haven't seen all of it, but while doing aud checks I've walked in on the same part twice, where the coach is like, "Me?! Coach girls' basketball?!" It makes me chuckle. Anyway.
