Unlike many other universities with later foundations, the team did not form as a conscious act of the campus administration. The university's student newspaper at the time, the <i>Ariel</i>, reported on basketball throughout 1895 as the sport was introduced to the campus from a rival school, Minnesota A&M in <a href="/wiki/St._Paul,_MN" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Paul, MN">St. Paul</a>, later incorporated into the larger University of Minnesota Twin Cities.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1896, a team from the school began to participate in a league with the Agriculture school, <a href="/wiki/YMCA" title="YMCA">YMCA</a> teams, and other local associations. The establishment of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Minnesota_Armory" title="University of Minnesota Armory">Armory</a> on-campus gave the team a new place to play. In February 1897, L. J. Cooke, a director of the Minneapolis YMCA, was hired on a part-time basis to coach the basketball program, and became the full-time coach and director of physical education by the fall of that year.<sup id="cite_ref-Hugunin6_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hugunin6-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cooke was one of the first full-time professional coaches in all of college basketball and would remain at the program for 28 seasons. </p><p>Cooke began to improve the team significantly and was responsible for shifts in the Gophers' scheduling that foreshadowed other changes to come. The team never played a YMCA team after the 1903–04 season, and beginning in 1900, began to schedule large neighboring universities that would join Minnesota in Big Ten competition.<sup id="cite_ref-Hugunin6_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hugunin6-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This shift to playing similar competition helped the Gophers to become one of the premier programs in the nation.

The 1901–02 squad has been retroactively named the national champions by both the <a href="/wiki/Helms_Athletic_Foundation" title="Helms Athletic Foundation">Helms Foundation</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Premo-Porretta_Power_Poll" title="Premo-Porretta Power Poll">Premo-Porretta Power Poll</a>; the Premo-Porretta poll also names the 1902–03 Gophers as national champions.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the Big Ten established basketball in 1905, the Gophers won the first two conference titles.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After 1907, Cooke's dominance of the national basketball scene was greatly reduced.

He retired after the 1923–1924 season.
