ABA announces schedule, with an asterisk
Published on September 15, 2006 under American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced its playing schedule for the upcoming season beginning in November - with an asterisk. According to Joe Newman, ABA CEO, "Putting together a schedule with 57 teams was a difficult assignment for Brad Hester, ABA VP of Team Operations. There were so many things to consider as relates to division and inter-division play. Our goal was to have teams play a wide variety of teams. With the cooperation of the teams at a group of conference meetings, Brad came up with the basics for a great schedule."
"The reason I asked Joe to put an asterisk next to the schedule is because it is our goal to tweak the schedule even more," stated Hester. "At our upcoming league meeting, we are going to sit down with the teams and make some minor adjustments - not so much in the home dates as with the opponents. Several teams across the country have asked specifically if the Hollywood team would visit, the same with the Beijing team, the same with the Vermont team and several others, including the defending champion Rochester RazorSharks. Our goal will be to accommodate in every way we can. So, the schedule is likely to have some minor changes."
Teams will be posting their schedules on their web sites; a master schedule will be posted on the ABA web site, www.abalive.com. For more information about ABA schedules, contact Brad Hester at bhester@abalive.com.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
