Career highlights and awards

Eric Wilson"Hank"Gathers Jr.[1](February 11, 1967 – March 4, 1990) was an Americancollege basketballplayer for theLoyola Marymount Lionsin theWest Coast Conference(WCC). As a junior in 1989, he became the second player inNCAA Division Ihistory to lead the nation in scoring andreboundingin the same season. Gathers was a consensus second-teamAll-Americanas a senior in 1990. His No. 44 wasretiredby the Lions, who also placed a statue of him in his honor outside their home arenaGersten Pavilion.

Gathers began his college career with theUSC Trojans,but transferred with teammateBo Kimbleto Loyola Marymount after his freshman year. Playing under Lions coachPaul Westheadand his fast-paced system, Gathers was a three-time first-team All-WCC selection. In his first season with the Lions, he earned the first of two consecutivemost valuable player(MVP) honors in theWCC tournament.As a junior, he was named theWCC Player of the Yearand began receiving All-American recognition. Early in his senior year in 1989–90, Gathers was diagnosed with an abnormal heartbeat after he collapsed during a game. He was placed on medication and returned a few weeks later, but he initially struggled, which he attributed to his medication. The dosage was gradually decreased, and his play recovered. Gathers died at age 23 after collapsing for the second time that season during the semifinals of the1990 WCC tournament.

Early life

[edit]

Gathers was born to Lucille and Eric Gathers Sr. inPhiladelphia.[2][3]Growing up in the Raymond Rosen Projects, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Philadelphia, he stayed out of trouble by playing basketball.[3]

Gathers played prep ball atDobbins Technical High School,[4]located among thehousing projectsinNorth Philadelphia.[5]He was joined on the team by his younger brother, Derrick Gathers,Bo KimbleandDoug Overton.[4]The Mustangs reached thePhiladelphia Public Leaguechampionship game in consecutive years, losing to aPooh Richardson-ledBenjamin Franklin Highin 1984 before winning the title overLionel Simmons'South Philadelphia Highin 1985.[4][5]

College career

[edit]

USC

[edit]

Gathers and Kimble were not friends until their senior year at Dobbins. Both of them wererecruitedto theUniversity of Southern California(USC) by head coachStan Morrisonand his top assistant David Spencer. During a visit to USC, the two recruits were told that the area around campus was deemed a slum. Gathers and Kimble, however, considered the area to be a suburb compared to their home of Philadelphia.[6]Gathers made up his mind early that he would join USC, while Kimble decided independently and only after spurningTemplelate.[7]They were joined on theTrojansby high school All-American, Tom Lewis, and Rich Grande as the "Four Freshmen" star recruiting class.[6][8]Following an 11–17 season in 1985–86, Morrison and Spencer were fired despite having won thePac-10 Conferencethe previous year. It was reported that the players would not remain unless certain conditions were met, including having a say in the next coaching staff.[6]

USC hiredGeorge Ravelingas the next head coach of the Trojans.[9]Raveling gave the players a deadline to respond whether they would remain on the team. When they did not respond, he revoked the scholarships of Gathers, Kimble, and Lewis.[10]Raveling's controversial[11]statement was, "You can't let the Indians run the reservation," he said. "You've got to be strong, too. Sometimes you have to tell them that they have to exit."[6]Kimble and Gathers transferred together from USC toLoyola Marymount University(LMU). Lewis transferred to Pepperdine. Grande remained at USC.[12]

Loyola Marymount

[edit]

Due to NCAA regulations, Gathers and Kimble could not play in the season following their transfer. They helped lead theLionsto a 28–4 record in1987–88.[13]Gathers led the team that year in both scoring andrebounding(averaging 22.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game), was named first-team All-WCCand was awarded theWCC tournamentMVP.[14][15]In the1988–89 season,Gathers became the second player inNCAA Division Ihistory to lead the nation in scoring and rebounding in the same season,[a]averaging 32.7 points and 13.7reboundsper game.[16]He was namedWCC Player of the Yearand again won the WCC Tournament MVP.[15]On December 30, 1988, he scored a career-high 49 points along with 26 rebounds in a 130–125 win overNevada.[17]After the season, he decided againstdeclaringfor theNBA draft.[17]

As a senior in1989–90,he was a candidate fornational player of the yearand projected as anNBA lottery pick.[16]Gathers' head coach while at LMU,Paul Westhead,had instituted an extraordinarily fast-paced game plan. On offense, the Lions took numerousthree-point shots,and typically shot the ball within 10 seconds of gaining possession. Their defense was afull-court pressdesigned to force their opponents into a frenzied up-and-down game. Gathers' teams led Division I in scoring in 1988 (110.3 points per game), 1989 (112.5), and 1990 (122.4).[18]LMU's 122.4 point per game in 1990 is still a record as of April 2012.[19]As of April 2012, Loyola Marymount held the five highest combined score games in Division I history. Four of the five occurred during Gathers' career, including a record 331 in the 181–150 win overUnited States International Universityon January 31, 1989.[13][20]

At 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) and 210 pounds (95 kg), Gathers was Loyola Marymount's strongest inside player. He had a highfield goal percentagebecause he seldom shot from beyond 10 feet (3.0 m). He used his power and quickness for follow-up baskets and scoring onfast breaks."I don't care much about the points," said Gathers. "In fact, I should lead the nation in scoring because of my rebounding. Anybody can score 30 points a night if that's what he's concentrating on. But rebounding is special because it comes from the heart."[13]

Heart condition and death

[edit]

On December 9, 1989, Gathers collapsed at an LMU home game againstUC Santa Barbara.[21]He was found to have an abnormal heartbeat (exercise-inducedventricular tachycardia), and was prescribed abeta blocker,Inderal.[21]However, Gathers felt that the medication adversely affected his play, and his dosage was gradually cut back.[22]Originally prescribed at 240 milligrams per day, his Inderal dosage was cut to 40 mg per day over the next three months.[3]Gathers returned after sitting out for three weeks and missing two games,[17][23]and he averaged 29.3 minutes and 29.15 points in his 20 games through the remainder of the season.[24]However, he struggled with his play for weeks after returning.[23][25]His play recovered in a nationally televised game againstLSUon February 3, 1990, when he scored 48 points along with 13 rebounds while being guarded by future NBA first-round draft picksStanley RobertsandShaquille O'Nealin a 148–141overtimeloss.[25]The Lions won seven of their next eight games,[25]and Gathers recorded a career-high 30 rebounds againstSaint Mary's.[17]

On February 26, 1990, as the WCC Tournament neared, Gathers' medication was reduced one last time from 80 to 40 mg, on the condition that he undergo testing in a couple of days to determine if it was safe and effective at suppressing thearrhythmias.He did not show up for his test that week and avoided calls from his cardiologist's office.[21][3]On March 2, he had a long talk with the cardiologist, who told him to play and come in for the testing after the tournament concluded.[21][3]It was later suspected Gathers was not taking any dosage on game days.[21]The following day in the WCC tournament quarterfinals in Los Angeles, he recorded 28 points and 11 rebounds in a 121–84 win overGonzaga.[26]

On Sunday, March 4, Gathers collapsed again with 13:34 left in the first half of the semifinal game against thePortland Pilots.He had just scored adunkon analley-ooppass from point guardTerrell Lowerythat put the Lions up 25–13.[16][22]Thirteen seconds later while positioned around midcourt in the Lions' fullcourt press,[26]he collapsed a yard or two away from Pilots point guardErik Spoelstra.[27]He attempted to get up, telling the athletic trainers, "I don't want to lay down!" Shortly after, he stopped breathing.[28]Gathers was pronounced dead at nearbyMarina Del Rey Hospitalat 6:55 PM PST.[29]He was 23 years old.[21]

Minutes after Gathers was taken to the hospital, the WCC commissioner suspended the game indefinitely.[30]ESPNshowed graphic footage of Gathers' collapse onSportsCenter;[31]the network was at the game recording advance footage for the championship game it was scheduled to televise the next night. Late that night, the WCC canceled the tournament and awarded Loyola the conference'sautomatic bidto theNCAA tournamentdue to its WCC regular season title.[32]

Gathers was buried at the Mount Lawn Cemetery inSharon Hill, Pennsylvania.[23]Anautopsyfound that he suffered from a heart-muscle disorder,hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.[21]His family later filed a $32.5 million lawsuit charging negligence.[33]Loyola Marymount settled out of court for $1.4 million, while the cardiologist who treated Gathers settled for $1 million.[34][35]

Legacy

[edit]

Loyola Marymount was placed in the West Regional as the No. 11 seed inthat season's NCAA tournament.[36]Before the tournament, the right-handed Kimble vowed to shoot his first free throw of each game left-handed, in memory of Gathers. Though naturally right-handed, Gathers was a poor free-throw shooter and had switched to shooting them left-handed.[37][38]The Lions advanced to theElite Eight,including a victory over defending national championMichigan,before falling to the eventual champions,UNLV.[36]Kimble finished a perfect 3-for-3 on his left-handed free throws during the tournament.[b]Both LMU'sCinderella storywithout Gathers and Kimble's left-handed tributes to him became part of NCAA tournament lore.[36][39][41]

Gathers was named aconsensus second-team All-Americaand first team All-WCC selection for the season.[15][42]He finished his career averaging 28.0 points and making 59 percent of his field goals, which were both school records as of 2010. He also averaged 11.1 rebounds for his career. He was voted WCC Player of the Decade for the 1980s.[43]

Gersten Pavilion,LMU's on-campus athletics facility, is known to Lions fans as "Hank's House", although that is not part of its official name.[44][45]His No. 44 and Kimble's No. 30 wereretired by LMUin a joint ceremony in 2000.[7][46]In 2005, the entire 1989–90 team was inducted into Loyola Marymount's Hall of Fame.[47]On February 29, 2020, four days before the 30th anniversary of his death, a statue of Gathers was unveiled outside Gersten Pavilion. The statue was created by Rotblatt-Amrany, which designed multiple statues outside of theStaples Centerin Los Angeles, as well as theMichael Jordan statuein Chicago.[48]

Gathers' life was dramatized in a 1992 TV movie,Final Shot: The Hank Gathers Story,withVictor Lovestarring as Gathers.[49]Gathers was part of the storyline in the ESPN filmGuru of Goabout Westhead, part of their30 for 30series.[50]

Gathers' death reemerged in national news wires during the2016 NBA Playoffswhen Kimble, interviewed for the celebrity gossip websiteTMZ.com,urged thatMiami HeatstarChris Boshretire for health reasons. Bosh has been suffering from blood clotting issues that forced him to miss the last several months of both the2014–15and2015–16seasons, as well as the entirety of the2016–17 season.While Bosh felt that he was healthy enough to continue playing, Kimble disagreed:[51]

There are so many other things he could do with his life. Hank Gathers had the same thing, Hank could have been a comedian, an actor or did speaking engagements. It's not worth the risk. I would just say absolutely not, don't do it. If Hank had the ability to do it again he wouldn't have paid the ultimate price... I am sure [Bosh] has children and they are going to need their father around as much as possible.[51]

Gathers was 16 when his son, Aaron Crump, was born.[53]Crump was age six when his father died. He received $1.5 million from Gathers' wrongful-death lawsuits.[23][53]He gained control of the money when he turned 18. It became a problem for Crump, who later described himself as a "young black male with no guidance" at that time. He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a weapon, and was in a state prison from 2007 until 2012. By the time he was released, the settlement money he received from Gathers' death had been squandered.[53]Crump became a salesperson.
