He served two stints as the head football at Fairmount College—now known as Wichita State University—in Wichita, Kansas, from 1916 and 1917 and again from 1921 to 1922 and as head football coach at Oklahoma City University from 1923 to 1924.[1] Prior to coaching at Fairmount, Hoover attended Baker University, where he was regarded as one of their top athletes.[2] In the 1906–07 basketball season, Hoover, described as "one of the outstanding guards of the midlands", lead the Baker team to an undefeated season, under coach Phog Allen.[3]
