didn't realize she was twice divorced and living in her HS coach's basement. She's basically the female Matt Foley.

Damn that was an unexpectedly sad read. Seems like she's in a pretty good spot, though.

What a crappy town Hooper is to go all mean girls on her. Not Nebraska nice.

I can empathize with her loneliness & wish the best for her personally, but if you're still holding onto major bitterness as a 37 year old adult about your JV volleyball team not wanting you to play on their team when you were 15, divorcing twice, and giving up your dreams of childbearing for a European club volleyball career, there are some pretty major red flags about who's doing this to her.

Sounds like her stepdad has his head on reasonably well, hopefully he can help her continue to get hers right too.

I worked out at the same gym as Luke during this time and talked to him a few times a week, I felt extremely bad for the guy especially those last few years. He was an engineer which he quit and had a lot setup for him and their future. They had a huge house north of Lincoln. I don't recall exact timeline but they might have been seperated and still going through the divorce but it was rumored (and pictured) she was hanging around the USA Men's team alot leading up to and during those Olympics, especially Klay Thompson.

I remember him always being depressed and lonely because she was good at manipulating him into thinking she'd retire only to sign with another team season after season so he stuck around.

In the end he made out good for himself, got the house and kept his Raptor. Eventually sold that house for nearly $2 million.

Other than the word volleyball, you just described Michael Jordan

Isn't this the house Matt Rhule bought and lives in now? I think I remember hearing that.

your JV volleyball team not wanting you to play on their team when you were 15

Coach wanted her to play to get more game reps, but put it to a team vote? That's something straight out of the Scott Frost school of coaching.

It was Carol

Yep this is true, I actually work with his new gf and Luke is a solid guy. This story is bs. Luke didn't deserve any of what happened to him. I'm glad Luke is happy now. His gf is awesome

I mean the story didn’t portray him in a bad light at all. What exactly happened to him other than getting divorced?
