About Independent Hoop Lab
IHL is for hoopers who train by themselves — and still get better than everyone else.

Hey, I'm Josh Banks. I graduated from Leavitt Area High School in 2019, where I was a 3-year varsity starter and 2-year captain. I’ve been hooping since 1st grade and still play in multiple men's leagues today. I stay sharp, test new moves in real games, and never stop finding ways to get better.
Basketball’s kept me in shape, taught me discipline, and given me a space to grow and create. I love working on new moves and putting them to use in games. That’s what IHL is all about — progress you can feel, on your own time.
My favorite players: Dwyane Wade (smart + fearless), Jamal Crawford (shifty + creative), and James Harden (crafty + efficient).
