Fullcourt was originally founded by Philip Wilson, a coach, player, and total basketball junkie. His entire life growing up was basketball, his father was the Mens Varsity Head Coach of the local High School in Northern California, so basketball was in his blood. Philip basically grew up in a gym, and has a very unique perspective on the business of the basketball industry. He has seen the inter-workings of the community of basketball, as a coach and a player, and realized it could be run more effectively and should be viewed as a business. Giving back to the basketball community that raised him is his life long goal, to build tools to help these coaches, trainers, and players to organize and streamline their life in basketball.

He partnered with his cofounder Kris Porter, a fellow genuine hooper, to help him usher basketball into the next generation using technology, to achieve the big vision they share.
