According to Demetrius Ford, CEO of the Pit Bulls professional basketball team, "These coaches will provide our players and the entertainers with the ultimate lifestyle as they travel to games and concerts throughout the season.

Bruce Coach was founded in 1988 by Cathy and Bruce Ingebrigston and is a family-run business with its corporate offices and physical plant located alongside the Trans Canada Highway in Salmon Arm, in the interior of one of Canada's most spectacular provinces, British Columbia. In 2002, the company was recognized as Entepreneur of the Year. Bruce Coach and Jamieson Financial, Inc. are working with ABA teams to lease luxury coaches for their specialized transportation needs. Garry Jamieson, CEO of Jamieson Financial stated, "One of the ways that the ABA is able to keep ticket prices down is by keeping overhead down. Being able to provide these buses at very affordable terms not only provides comfortable transportation, but allows teams to save considerable dollars on their ground transportation. It's a win-win-win situation - for the team, for the fans and for Bruce Coach. We're pleased to be a part of the ABA."
