After much soul searching, I’ve decided to officially stop maintain Hoop-LA. In reality, I haven’t written and posted a new article in 3 years but I have responded to e-mails. There is still a great love out there for Hank Gathers and a steady flow of e-mails over the years have proven this. I will leave the site up as a testament to my work, to Hank Gathers and the contributors. Thank you for your patronage, time and support.

By the way, I actually made $7 when someone bought a magazine subscription through my membership section of Hoop-LA.
