It’s $10 to participate.

TEAM CHECK-IN TEN Capital Check-In has moved to the Bennett Block parking lot, also the site of Nike Center Court. LOG YOUR WINS Mobile scoring is now available, which means that you can drop your score sheets off at the Visit Spokane information tents located at the Spokane Arena parking lot, on Main Street in front of the River Park Square Mall and at the Avista Master Scoreboard near the Red Wagon. GET YOUR GEAR Make sure to stop by our Hoopfest Store, located in the Bennett Block off of Spokane Falls and Stevens. Inside, don’t miss our Local Corner, featuring exclusive Hoopfest/Great PNW gear.

The winner drives home this year’s completely Hooped Out Toyota RAV4 (pictured above).
JBL ELITE GAMES PRESENTED BY HUPPIN’S As fun as it can be to watch your friends back down the unfortunate soul who decides to guard them, the level of basketball played by Elite teams is something to behold. The Elite games host teams of great ballers who played at some of the highest levels of the game; find them at the JBL Elite Courts presented by Huppin’s on Stevens just east of Nike Center Court. Sunday afternoon, head over to Center Court and check out the finals rounds and championship games at Center Court. Elite winners take home custom Hoopfest dog tags courtesy of Spokane’s Jewelry Design Center, this year honoring Andrew Vathis, a Hoopfest superfan who passed away this year.

omer Simpson and George Costanza made their TV debuts. A little band by the name of Pearl Jam formed over in Seattle, and Nike dropped the fifth edition of its Air Jordan. The year was 1990, and another bit of awesomeness was taking root in Spokane — Hoopfest. Co-founders Rick Betts and Jerry Schmidt came to the light-bulb moment from different places — Schmidt was looking for a cool, citywide fundraiser, while Betts had just witnessed the brand-new, NBA-sponsored Hoop It Up 3on3 basketball tournament on the streets of Washington, D.C. Like chocolate and peanut butter, they were just meant to collide. The next thing they knew, Betts, Schmidt and a team

Hey, these aren’t a bunch of dumb jocks, as this sampling of remarkably clever, actual Hoopfest team names proves: AXIS OF EVEL KNIEVEL BEARDLESS KARNOWSKIS BODY BY NINTENDO DECEPTIVELY SLOW FARFRUMDUNKN I’D LIKE TO BUY A FOUL NAISMITH’S ANTITHESIS THIRD ROCK FROM THE RIM WE ARE EFFORTING WICKED GOOGLIES
of local gym rats were scrambling to get permission to shut down the streets of Spokane. Soon enough, they were sketching out brackets by hand, throwing up makeshift hoops, hand-taping lines to create courts across downtown — “we were there through the night and saw sunrise,” Betts recalls — and then quickly lacing up their high-tops to play themselves. On June 30 and July 1 of 1990, they mustered 36 courts, filled with 512 teams and 2,009 players. This year, like Homer Simpson and Eddie Vedder, the biggest 3on3 basketball tournament in the universe, Hoopfest, celebrates 30 years.
POSTERIZED
Some of the most epic local athletes — and a few surprises — have landed on the annual Hoopfest poster, starting with local legends Mark Rypien and Ryne Sandberg that very first year (along with 9-year-old Brian Betts). Year II, it was Spokane’s godfather of hoop, John Stockton. Other notables include actor Craig T. Nelson, football star Drew Bledsoe and hoopers or renown Adam Morrison and Klay Thompson. The 2019 poster (above) features Gonzaga legends John Stockton and Courtney Vandersloot.

WORN WITH PRIDE
Hoopfest tradition mandates that you get a sweet T-shirt just for playing. But if you happen to win your bracket, then you get to wear the coveted championship shirt for the next 364 days. Runners up get a tank top, while the winners of the loser brackets (13th Place) may win biggest of all with the instant conversationstarter, the Loser King shirt.
YEAR BY HOOPIN’ YEAR
1991 For Year II, Mother Na-
ture seemed intent on nipping this upstart event in the bud with the worst weather of any Hoopfest. Along with thunderstorms rolling through all weekend, the high on Saturday only hit 65 degrees.
1994 By Year V, Hoopfest was
rolling, with 3,086 teams. Hoopfest’s charitable side started kicking in this year, as Harmon Park in Hillyard was given the first of more than 30 basketball courts Hoopfest would fund and build over its first 30 years.
1996 Year VII was the year
Hoopfest became the largest 3on3 tournament in the nation.

1999 For Year X, Hoopfest hon-
2006 An independent study
2012 Hoopfest turnout sur-
chos wanted to do something really epic with the poster. They had seen the cool photomosaic image for The Truman Show poster, so they collected 2,200 images and sent them off to the MIT grad who developed the technology, resulting in arguably the coolest of all Hoopfest posters.
2004 The first-ever neutral-
site WNBA game was played at the Spokane Arena the night before Hoopfest, with the New
found that Hoopfest was generating $39 million in economic benefit to Spokane. That’s a lot of Gatorade!
2009 NBA royalty Kareem
Abdul Jabbar came to Spokane to promote his book On the Shoulders of Giants at the Fox during Hoopfest weekend.
2010 After 2009’s 6,700-team turnout, The Guinness Book of World Records officially recognized Hoopfest as the biggest
passed 7,000 teams, where it has leveled off to since.
2014 After serving as executive director for almost every year since it’s inception, Rick Steltenpohl stepped aside for Matt Santangelo, the former Gonzaga standout. “I’m a basketball junkie,” Santangelo said at the time, “that’s how my mind works.” You’re hired!
2015 None other than ESPN sets up shop to present live
coverage of Hoopfest weekend. Spokane welcomed them with the hottest Hoopfest ever, hitting 102 degrees on Saturday and 105 on Sunday.
2017 The buzz started spread-
ing across the blacktop on Saturday, with rumors confirmed on Sunday — first-round draft pick of our sorely missed Sonics, Kevin Durant, was in the ’Kan! Fans jammed Nike Center Court, where KD played some pickup with local kids and philosophized about the sport. “It’s always about the game,” he said. “We’re all going to come and go, but the game is forever!”
2019 OFFICIAL EVENT GUIDE 5
WELCOME TO…
Many can claim to be basketball’s epicenter, but no one lives it like Spokane
B
asketball is so popular — so woven into the fabric of America — that many places may consider themselves the epicenter of the greatest game on Earth. Hit the playgrounds of New York City for some of the famous pickup games, and you’ll glimpse the early proving grounds for legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. Head to Tobacco Road and you can hear arguments from Duke’s Cameron Crazies and North Carolina’s Tarheels that the 10 miles separating their two campuses features the best basketball on Earth. Indiana fans will quickly point to Hoosiers and home-state hero Larry Bird as evidence high school hoops isn’t better anywhere than in farm country. Kentucky, Kansas and sunny SoCal all can make a decent argument for basketball dominance. Only one place, though, features high-caliber college basketball and state powerhouses in high school hoops and one of the country’s biggest AAU youth leagues. Oh, AND the single biggest 3on3 basketball tourney on the planet:
tive Director Matt Santangelo envisions as equal parts art installation and basketball courts. He sees the shelter on the north bank left over from Expo ’74 displaying the history of basketball and a Hooptown Hall of Fame, where 3on3 legends will permanently leave their mark through something like the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “There will be a fusion of art and basketball,” Santangelo says of the Riverfront Park complex. “And then, ultimately, we want to renovate the community courts and host events where the neighbors come out and paint them to create a mosaic of art and basketball throughout Hooptown.” If anyone can make the Hooptown vision come alive, it’s the thousands of basketballcrazed Hoopfest players, volunteers and fans who make the annual tournament a hoops spectacle unlike any other. Each year some 24,000 players, 3,000 volunteers and 250,000 fans pack the Spokane streets for Hoopfest. And the rest of the year, those same people watch, talk about and debate the Gonzaga, Eastern Washington
Hoopfest has donated more than 30 public basketball courts to the region since 1990…

909 W 1st Ave. Ste. A
Hoopfest. Add all that up, along with the community’s rabid basketball fandom, participation and volunteerism, and you quickly realize that Spokane is truly Hooptown USA. That’s the message the Hoopfest team is taking to people far and wide through a new Hooptown USA initiative designed to amplify Spokane’s passion for basketball. But it’s much more than just a public relations campaign; the non-profit will continue to invest in the Spokane community through Hooptown USA. Hoopfest is already the largest benefactor of the Special Olympics in Eastern Washington, as well as the organizer of Ignite Basketball Association (an outreach program for sixth, seventh and eighth-graders). Hoopfest has donated more than 30 public basketball courts to the region since 1990 (in towns like Rosalia and Reardan, and parks like Comstock and Mirabeau), and more than $1.7 million to various causes. The Hooptown USA effort will build two new showcase courts in Riverfront Park, a dazzling and unique playing space that Hoopfest Execu-
and Whitworth basketball teams, cheer for local high schools like the Central Valley girls squad that won a National Championship in 2018, and hit those community courts to sharpen their own games in between Hoopfest seasons. It’s that’s total embrace of basketball — at all levels, from people of all ages and all skills — that exemplifies the idea of Spokane as Hooptown USA. Spokane, despite its relatively small size and remote location, is a city that shows up and balls out rather than strolls in and buys a ticket to watch others. And the incredible participation at Hoopfest from all corners of the community is something no one — in New York, North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas or L.A. — can match. “We’re saying, ‘Come play with us. Participate with us,’” Santangelo says of Hooptown USA. “You are the show.” Be on the lookout for the Hooptown USA bus at Hoopfest throughout the weekend, and to learn more, visit hooptownusa.com.

HALFCOURT HEROES
GET YOUR GEAR!
A long-time Hoopfest volunteer offers a glimpse into the court monitor life
D
David Cassels lays down the law.
avid Cassels started volunteering as a court monitor in 1997 and he’s been back almost every year since, even though that means making the trek to Spokane from his home in Seattle. As a Hoopfest veteran, Cassels knows what it takes to survive a day in the life of a court monitor.
single game. It’s an all-day affair, and they get to see some exciting moments. “The best games are ones that are competed to the very last shot. And everybody’s really intense but when it’s done everybody gets up and shakes everybody’s hand.”
PREGAME PREPARATION
AFTER THE WHISTLE
The first thing on the checklist is making sure you’re well stocked for the day. Food, water and protection from the elements are obvious, but the best in the business come even more prepared. Cassels says it’s things like having extra pens, in case someone walks off with his, that help combat stress. “I want to make sure the experience is as good for me as it is for everybody else there,” Cassels says. “Having the things you need is key to making that experience.”
DURING THE DAY
“What I enjoy the most is watching these guys compete,” Cassels says. Unlike the players, court monitors take part in every
“The one thing about this event that’s really cool is that it’s a family event,” Cassels says. “I come over to do the court monitor thing, but I’ve got nieces and nephews who play in it. I’ve got brothers who have played in it before.” Hoopfest is an event that brings the community together. It’s an opportunity to make connections. For Cassels, that means spending time with friends and family. “I stay with family when I’m in Spokane,” Cassels says. “Mostly for me it’s going to hear how their day went. The court monitor situation keeps you busy all day long. I want to hear how these kids played.” You can find the official Hoopfest rules at SpokaneHoopfest.net/faqs.
OLYMPIC DEEP WATER START
STEP ABOARD THE CRUISE SHIP COEUR D’ALENE For the first time, the CDA TRI will have a “deep water start” for the Olympic swim portion of it’s 2019 race. Swimmers will board the cruise ship at Independence Point and boat to the staging barge, from there swimmers will enter the water to wait their turn at the starting buoys. Then, its a straight shot, 1500-meter, all-out swim to city beach. From there, get ready to bike and run an outstanding course that takes athletes along the Spokane River and Centennial Trail, through Coeur d’Alene’s picturesque downtown.
One of the highlights of every Hoopfest is the Hoopfest Store presented by Nike. The main store is at the Bennett Block off Main and Stevens; the north Mini-Store is on Dean just west of Washington. And The Great PNW is back with new Hoopfestinspired designs.

WORLD CLASS
With a 2020 Olympics debut on the horizon, FIBA’s 3x3 fast-paced style hits Hoopfest for a day
T
he sport of 3on3 basketball is getting ready to make a jump from the streets to the Summer Olympics, and Spokane’s going to get a sneak peek. Friday’s FIBA 3x3 tournament will feature some of the top teams from around the United States and Canada. The event is part of the 2019 FIBA 3x3 World Tour, a pro circuit for teams from cities around the world, with a $5,000 prize for the winning team, plus a berth in the next round on the line. The tour is something of a proving ground for the world’s top talent in advance of the 2020 Tokyo games, where 3x3 will make its debut as an Olympic sport. “It has a lot of strategy,” Team Princeton’s Craig Moore says. “It’s not the same sport as five-on-five. It’s not the same sport as three-on-three.” The official FIBA rules Craig Moore differ from those employed by Hoopfest. There’s a 12-second shot clock and immediate change of possession on a made basket — no checking the ball, no taking it out of bounds — which makes for a fast-paced, free-flowing game. The winner is the first to 21 points or whoever is ahead after 10 minutes, though games rarely last that long. Moore, who played college basketball at Northwestern, emphasized the speed and entertainment value of the game, contrasted with traditional basketball, as perfect for today’s audience. “We call it a 10-minute sprint,” Moore says. “It’s the beach volleyball of basketball.” The eight-team tournament will take place from noon-6 pm Friday, June 28, on Nike Center Court. Admission is free, which makes it a perfect way to pass some time and pick up new moves from the best in the game the day before taking to the streets yourself.
Kelly Olynyk will share tales of his journey from Canada to Spokane to the NBA.
LEGENDS LIVE
A
s you spend the last couple days before Hoopfest hydrating and hyping up your teammates, why not take a little pause and find inspiration in the stories of some of the best basketball players ever to hit a court in Spokane? On Thursday, June 27, make your way to the historic Fox Theater for “Gonzaga Legends,” a roundtable talk full of stories from some of the Kennel’s most noteworthy former residents. Kelly Olynyk, Steven Gray, David Pendergraft and Heather Bowman will all be on hand, swapping stories (and hopefully a little friendly trash talk). Olynyk is a forward for the Miami Heat after several years playing for the Boston Celtics. He helped launched the modern era of excellent Zag
big men, averaging nearly 20 points for the Zags in his monstrous 2012-13 season — one that led to him being a first-round pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Gray averaged double-digits for the Zags from 2008-11. Pendergraft went on to Hoopfest domination, winning five straight titles after finishing his Gonzaga career in 2008. Bowman graduated in 2010, and held the women’s scoring record at Gonzaga for a time. General admission tickets are $6 and available online at ticketswest.com, or by calling 800-325-SEAT. There are also VIP tickets for $60 that include the best seats, a private reception with the players before the show, appetizers, one drink and more. Doors open at 6 pm; the stories start flying at 7 pm.
AAU SEASON IS COMING!
Did you know the same team that brings you Hoopfest is behind Spokane’s AAU league? Yep, and Spokane Hoops is celebrating its 30th year with AAU, along with three decades of Hoopfest. And for the upcoming 2019-20 season, for the first time third graders can form teams, along with fourth through eighth graders. Also new this year will be two team-selected tiers, just like in Hoopfest where you can choose Elite or Rec brackets. Spokane Hoops offers the most realistic 5on5 basketball you can experience, with high school rules, the best referees in the region and paid supervisors and scorekeepers. The season starts Nov. 9, and sign-ups run Aug. 16-Sept. 20, so log on to SpokaneHoopfest.net and click the “AAU Spokane” button. JAN, THE TOY LADY, LOVES OBALLS!
