    A documentary film on Providence and its former head basketball coach Ed Cooley from an anonymous social media user known as “Blue Demon Degenerate” caused a huge stir.

The doc has rippled throughout sports media and prompted an apology from writer Jeff Goodman over messages he sent to the filmmaker.
