- James Belushi, the brother of the late original Saturday Night Live cast member John Belushi, is the voice of Coach Wittenberg.
- The players on Arnold's team are Tucker, Gerald, Stinky, "Robert" (blonde kid with the glasses that appears in other episodes, usually in a green shirt), Lamar, Frankie, and Ravi.
- Grandpa wanted to join the circus as a kid, as a trapeze artist. Instead, the only circus job he had was cleaning up after the elephants for 13 years.
- This episode aired almost a month before the basketball movie Space Jam, starring Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes, was released in theaters.
- YMAA could be a reference to the world organization YMCA
- Coach Wittenberg mistakenly thinks that Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo originally said, "There is no 'I' in team." He may have been thinking of Vince Lombardi, even though he probably was not the originator of the phrase either.
- Stinky speaks again after 16 episodes since Field Trip.
- This is the only episode that Tucker appears, he is not seen or mentioned throughout the remainder of the series.
- Coach Wittenberg was using favoritism of his son, Tucker, rather than the whole team.
- It is actually the correct way for Arnold to pass the basketball to Gerald when Tucker was not open, because if Arnold would've tried to pass it to Tucker, the other team would steal the basketball and Arnold would've cost his team to lose anyway because he would've passed it to the opposing team.
Moral: Don't show favoritism over your teammates. Be a good team player.
