Chester Lamar Hoover (February 27, 1887 — December 18, 1944) was an American football, basketball, and baseball coach. He served as the 13th head football at Fairmount College—now known as Wichita State University—in Wichita, Kansas and he held that position for four seasons, from 1916 until 1917 and again from 1921 until 1922, compiling a record of 18–14–4.[2] Prior to coaching at Fairmount, Hoover attended Baker University, where he was regarded as one of their top athletes.[3] In the 1906–07 basketball season, Hoover, described as "one of the outstanding guards of the midlands", lead the Baker team to an undefeated season, under coach Phog Allen.[4]
Hoover's final season at Fairmont began promisingly but ended with disappointing losses.[5]
