HOOP HISTORIANS
Committed to promoting goodwill through basketball

 About Us

 

The Hoop Historians are a group of individuals who have a wide range of basketball backgrounds.  The group includes former and present coaches, officials and supporters of the game of basketball.  The group's alliance with attending the Final Four dates back to the early sixties in some instances, however, the group has collectively met annually at the Final Four site since the early 1990's.  Through their love of the game, they have been an unofficial goodwill ambassador for the sport of basketball, by sharing their past experiences, renewing old acquaintances and meeting new ones, and continuing to promote the game through education and goodwill.

We are a not-for-profit corporation that is committed to promoting goodwill through basketball.  The group assembles annually at the site of the NCAA Mens' Final Four to conduct business and socialize with our friends from across the globe.   Over the past years the group has collected and made donations to the LeGore Boys & Girls Club of Indianapolis,  the Jimmy V Foundation and Coaches vs. Cancer.  The Hoop Historians also conduct business throughout the year acting as ambassadors of the game.

The group annually selects officers to its Board of Directors and votes on prospective members.  New members must have attended three Final Fours, must be a Friend of the Hoop Historians for at least one year and must receive an affirmative vote from a minimum of 75% of the members present at the Annual Meeting.
