Ray Hooper is the son of Ray Hooper SR. His dad was on the athletic Board at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee that hired Bob Gottlieb to be the Head Coach at UWM in 1975 for where he served for 5 years. His dad was also one of my closest friends and biggest supporters at UWM. In later years, his family also moved to the West Coast and “Soup” as his dad nicknamed him, became an outstanding high school player. He played for Bob Gottlieb at the AAU level and then earned a scholarship to Cal State Fullerton. He is presently the Assistant Basketball Coach at LA Jordan H.S. in Los Angeles.
