The Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions stands alone as one of the last true national championships in grassroots basketball — bringing together the best programs in the country regardless of shoe or non-shoe affiliation.
For more than 30 years, this event has set the standard for elite competition, national exposure, and tradition. The Bob Gibbons TOC is consistently covered by HoopSeen, ESPN, Rivals, 247Sports, and a wide range of national, regional, and local media outlets, making it a proving ground for programs and players ready to compete on the biggest stage.
TRADITION
No tournament in the country can match the history, legacy, and prestige of the Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions.
As one of the longest-running travel basketball events in the nation, the TOC is remembered for its intense competitiveness, unforgettable matchups, and elite-level talent year after year. Some of the greatest players in the history of the game — Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Kevin Love, John Wall, Kevin Durant, and countless others — took key steps in their journey right here.
Every year, new stories are written.
