Family Legacy Meets Innovation: Indiana’s Pat Knight Joins 360 Hoops as Investor and Strategic Advisor
Knight will support the company’s expansion into Indiana and help honor the enduring legacy of Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight
INDIANAPOLIS — Aug. 20, 2026 — 360 Hoops, the basketball platform built around a patented three-in-one hoop system and dynamic 3v3v3 gameplay, today announced that veteran basketball coach Pat Knight has joined the company as an investor and strategic advisor.
Knight, the son of the late Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, will support 360 Hoops’ growth in Indiana by helping the company build relationships across the state’s basketball community.
“Indiana has always represented the heart of basketball to me,” Pat Knight said. “What attracted me to 360 Hoops is that it brings something completely new to the game while staying true to the competitiveness, energy and fundamentals that make basketball special. I believe this platform has enormous potential for camps, schools, player development and community engagement throughout Indiana.”
Knight joins a growing group of basketball leaders supporting the platform, including Atlanta Hawks Assistant Coach Mike Brey and 12-time national championship coach Geno Auriemma.
The 360 Hoops platform centers on a portable, patented basketball system featuring three hoops and three backboards on a single structure. It enables three teams to compete simultaneously in a fast-paced, circular format. Designed to increase participation, ball touches, player engagement and efficient use of gym space, the platform is gaining interest among coaches, trainers, camps, schools and youth basketball organizations.
Introducing 360 Hoops to Indiana
360 Hoops has been piloting its platform in Indiana in collaboration with Minshen Ho of Legacy Courts in Lafayette, demonstrating the system’s versatility across player development, camps, clinics, tournaments and community programming. This fall, the company will launch its sales and partnership efforts in select Indiana markets.
In collaboration with Pat Knight and the Knight family, 360 Hoops will create a customized system honoring Coach Bob Knight’s enduring legacy and impact on basketball. The system will be donated on behalf of the Knight family to a deserving facility, extending Coach Knight’s influence by creating new opportunities for athletes and communities to experience the game.
“Indiana represents everything that makes basketball special—tradition, passion, community and innovation,” said Shane Brey, co-founder of 360 Hoops. “Having Pat Knight join 360 Hoops is incredibly meaningful to our company. In addition to his basketball knowledge and relationships, Pat shares our commitment to growing the game, creating new experiences for players and honoring Indiana’s basketball culture.”
Developed as both a competitive gameplay platform and a player-development tool, 360 Hoops operates at the intersection of sports innovation, youth engagement, entertainment and scalable basketball programming.
With growing momentum, strong relationships across the basketball community and an expanding presence, 360 Hoops views Indiana as a key market in the company’s next phase of growth.
