About
Welcome to Hoopsfix, what I hope will become the number 1 site covering British basketball on the internet.
About Me
My name is Sam Neter and I am the man behind Hoopsfix. Brought up on the courts of Eastbourne, East Sussex, playing for the now defunct South Coast Dreams in the Local league, I moved up to London in 2005 to study at Brunel University playing for the 2nd team throughout my 3 years there (making an appearance for the 1st’s at BUSA Finals ‘08).
As you can see, it got to the point I realised I was probably better off the court than on it!
As anyone who has ever stepped foot on a British basketball court knows, coverage of the Basketball scene in the U.K. is almost non-existent. Basketball 24/7 is doing it big, but bar Greg Tanner and co, you have to do some serious trawling on the web to find anything.
I first began filming basketball when I was injured at Brunel for an unofficial students website I set up with a couple of friends called Bruwat? (you can still see some of the videos on Youtube). The response was a lot better than I expected and made me think about launching a site dedicated to British basketball for a long time.
About Hoopsfix
Founded only in 2009, originally under the name of Ball Don’t Brawl (see 4 Reasons Why We Rebranded), I want Hoopsfix to fill the void by providing unprecedented coverage of British basketball. Videos are uploaded weekly and articles published regularly, covering everything from up and coming young ballers to seasoned BBL veterans, to where to play basketball. This is the place to get a deeper look at British basketball and get your weekly fix of the U.K scene.
Disclosure
This site’s number 1 motivation is not money (if it were, there would a LOT more ads), however that said, I have many goals for Hoopsfix, one of these being to earn a full time wage from it. This would allow me to dedicate 100% of my time to it indefinitely; meaning a better site for you guys, more filming, more footage, more articles and features.
I will at times, use affiliate links (links whereby if you were to buy whatever product I am linking to, I will get a small commission on the sale), and I will be accepting money for the the ads in the sidebar on the homepage. It is worth nothing, I will only promote or use affiliate links on products I believe in or would use myself that I think could benefit you. Promoting crap products will only inconvenience you and ruin my my reputation. When an affiliate link is used, you’ll probably see something like this-
Thesis Wordpress Theme (hell yeah it’s an affiliate link)
Thesis is the theme this site runs on and I think it’s amazing, so I’ll quite happily recommend it to anyone who is looking for a platform to run their site on. Doesn’t cost you anything extra, it just gives me a lil bit of petrol money for my next trip. And that folks is how it works :)
