Tucker Leads Another Team to Number One ABA Power Ranking

January 2, 2009 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Beaumont, TX. The ABA Power Rankings were introduced in November of 2004. Over the last four seasons, many teams have been ranked #1 and a small number of teams have been dominant in the poll. Outstanding coaches had led their teams to long runs at the top of the rankings. No coach since the induction of the ABA Power Rankings has done what was accomplished this week when Head Coach Steve Tucker of the SETX Mustangs became the first coach ever to lead two different teams to the #1 position.

Coach T's 2006-07 Jacksonville Jam held the #1 ranking in November and early December 2006. With the SETX Mustangs becoming the #1 ranked team in the ABA this week, the veteran coach did what no other ABA coach has done before. The Southeast Texas Mustangs are off to a fast start to begin this ABA season with a 7-1 record thus far and the winners of six straight. The Mustangs go back into action this Sunday against the Houston Takers at home at Ford Arena in Beaumont, TX. Tip-off is scheduled for 3pm.

Sunday's game will be Military Day, where our Armed Forces will be honored by the Mustangs.

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.
