Fullcourt Press/Pangos Exposure Summer 2024 Events
For over 30 years, Fullcourt Press/Pangos events have set the quality standard for West Coast exposure and live-period events.
At a time when all kinds of new event operators and "Bad Hoop Circuits" are popping up on the scene like Starbucks coffee houses, promising the best "this and that" when it comes to basketball competition and exposure, Fullcourt Press/Pangos events have a long 30+ year track-record of delivering what teams expect and deserve of exposure events.
In response to the dramatic influx of bad basketball events recently, Pangos has decided to tackle this problem by creating the Pangos Platform. A centralized, concerted and organized approach to help West Coast competitive teams and players with real chances at D1 and D2 scholarships. For 3 decades, Fullcourt Press/Pangos has been one of the premier leaders of high exposure recruiting opportunities not just in the West but in the entire country. Pangos has created such top-tier exposure events like the Pangos All-American Camp, Pangos Premier 80 Showcase and Pangos All-Frosh/Soph Camps as well as team events like the Las Vegas Fab 48, Fantastic 40, Pangos Sweet 16 and Terrific 24. Fullcourt Press scouting service has had 150 D1 college subscribers from coast to coast.
Our Nothing But Net Magazine (NBNMagazine.com) is a free online 24/7 hoop info source for coaches nationwide and we currently have 75,000+ followers across our several Twitter and other social media accounts. Not to mention our 30+ years worth of relationships with college coaches and media as well as NBA teams (Pangos All-American Camp has been NBA certified for the past 5 years and the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas was the 1st HS regular season event NBA certified and the only one in West).
The Pangos Platform will serve as the recruiting exposure umbrella that will house our Spring and Summer Live Period events. The Pangos Platform's goal is to not only consolidate the lion share of top competitive West Coast teams and players via one centralized recruiting and marketing mechanism, it's select number of top West Coast affiliated independent quality programs will benefit by the long-established and well-respected Pangos affiliated media and marketing platforms. It will be limited to those teams and players that are serious about having and being D-I and D-II prospects.
