It’s easy to dismiss Hoops as just curse-filled and crass. But the cast is great, and you start to root for Coach Hopkins and his team by the end of the first episode. It isn’t always funny, but it’s just funny enough and has enough heart to be a decent show.
By the tenth episode there's enough going right here to make one hopeful for future seasons, but it still feels like a disappointment given the pedigree. At the very least, Hoops passes the time until somebody just gives Ron Funches a show of his own.

[“Hoops” doesn’t] seem to have much interest in evolving its characters beyond their most basic loglines. That wouldn’t be as much of an issue for a foulmouthed animated comedy if it weren’t for the fact that this foulmouthed animated comedy isn’t half the joke machine it would need to be in order to justify its total lack of nuance.
Hoops is a show about an immature man and his immature teenage charges that doesn’t aspire to anything more than making immature jokes and then, often, repeating those same immature jokes. ... There is some funny buried in Hoops, if you can get past the more off-putting moments to find it. But that’s hard to do.
“Hoops” is animated because no network would greenlight a show about an asshole like Ben Hopkins if it were live-action. That may be just barely enough for the most loyal Jake Johnson fans. Everyone else should find another game, cartoon, or literally anything else to watch.
It is filled with hateful stereotypes.
“Hoops” proves that excessive cussing is just like canned laughter when it comes to comedy, in that abuse of either shows the extent of a show's desperation. Ben's profane outrage becomes tiresome pretty quickly.
This is supposed to be a comedy, made by people that have no idea what it is, or how to accomplish it.
Transhflix really needs to stop automatically green lighting everything that is presented to them.

One episode was enough, I simply couldn't take any more of it.
Yes, a show can be rude, vulgar, silly and totally gross.
But if it's supposed to be a comedy, it has to be funny!
It's full of lame, boring, unfunny characters no one gives a crap about!
Poor Jake Johnson. Maybe he saw the finished show and hoped it wouldn't be released, but no such luck!
The most obvious question is: Who greenlit this?
But I cannot help but to think that now, because of the current situation, they're throwing things at us that had been previously shelved, for good reasons (unfunny!), but now they're running out of shows and we get to watch what's left in the 'vault'.
Did I say it's totally unfunny? Maybe. But to be sure:
TOTALLY UNFUNNY CRAP!
