The music to ''Hoosiers'' was written by veteran composer [[Jerry Goldsmith]]. Goldsmith used a hybrid of orchestral and electronic elements in juxtaposition to the 1950s setting to score the film. He also helped tie the music to the film by using recorded hits of basketballs on a gymnasium floor to serve as additional [[Percussion instrument|percussion]] sounds.<ref name="filmtracks">[http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/hoosiers.html ''Hoosiers''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110101070427/http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/hoosiers.html |date=January 1, 2011 }} soundtrack review at [http://www.filmtracks.com Filmtracks.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110127111457/http://www.filmtracks.com/ |date=January 27, 2011 }}</ref> ''[[Washington Post]]'' film critic [[Paul Attanasio]] praised the soundtrack, writing, "And it's marvelously (and innovatively) scored (by composer Jerry Goldsmith), who weaves together electronics with symphonic effects to create a sense of the rhythmic energy of basketball within a traditional setting."<ref name="Attanasio" />

The score gained Goldsmith an [[Academy Award|Oscar]] nomination for [[Academy Award for Best Original Score|Best Original Score]], though he ultimately lost to [[Herbie Hancock]] for ''[[Round Midnight (film)|Round Midnight]]''.  Goldsmith would later work with filmmakers Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh again on their successful 1993 sports film ''[[Rudy (film)|Rudy]]''.

Until 2012, the soundtrack was primarily available under the European title ''Best Shot'', with several of the film's cues not included on the album. In 2012, [[Intrada Records]] released Goldsmith's complete score, marking the first time the soundtrack has been released on CD in the United States.<ref name="intrada">[http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7919/.f ''Hoosiers''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130115101033/http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7919/.f |date=January 15, 2013 }} soundtrack listing at [http://www.intrada.com Intrada.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323154505/http://www.intrada.com./ |date=March 23, 2021 }}</ref>
