Alright, can we just get through the next 24 hours as quickly as possible? I have Hoopfest fever and am stoked to return as a court monitor to the best and biggest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world.

Last night I went downtown to pick up my court monitor gear and court assignment. The forest green t-shirts are nice and the purple basketball really pops. Although I am a little puzzled about why the shorts don’t have pockets, I am thankful for anything free. The coveted shoes are now handed out after the tournament to encourage volunteers to actually show up instead of swiping the shoes and sleeping in.

I am excited to return as a court monitor for Hoopfest 2024.

As for my court assignment? Ah man, you are going to love this: This Coug is on a University of Idaho-sponsored court 😂. But it’s all good because my court location is awesome—right in the middle of the action at Spokane Falls Boulevard and Howard. I am overseeing an adult male 8-team bracket. That means my Saturday will be over after the 12:30 p.m. game giving me time to catch afternoon action featuring my friends and family.

This year’s ball definitely pops!

Speaking of family, I will have my wife and daughter helping me this weekend. Sidney is my scorekeeper and Sloan is my assistant scorekeeper. This Reser trio will make sure our court is in good hands.

This is my bracket. Come see me!

There is nothing like Hoopfest weekend. If you have never experienced it before, make it happen tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous! If you do find yourself walking the downtown streets, don’t hesitate to stop by and say “hi.” Please pray for a safe and healthy event for all involved. Don’t Blink.
