The Bluegrass Stallions were a basketball team in the Premier Basketball League. They debuted in the American Basketball Association in 2009–10. The Stallions' first head coach was Kyle Macy, a former Kentucky Wildcats three-time All-American college basketball player.
2009-2010 season
Based in Lexington, Kentucky, the Stallions began playing at the indoor arena at the Kentucky Horse Park,[1] but moved home games in January 2010 first to Corbin, KY and then to Lexington Christian Academy high school gymnasium due to conflicts with Horse Park management.[2] They finished their turbulent inaugural season by losing in the playoff semifinals,[3] and placing guard Bobby Perry as second team and center Lukasz Obrzut as third team all-ABA.[4]
2010-2011 season
After the season, the Stallions attempted to form the Basketball Federation of America after a dispute with the ABA, where Stallions then-owner Tony Chase stated "The ABA will still exist, but I do not intend to be a part of that disorganized league next year. That is why this league has been formed."[5] However, Chase sold his interest in the team to his partners, joined the PBL as CEO[6] and the Stallions went with him to the new league.[7] The team moved their home games to Georgetown College, in Georgetown, Kentucky.[8]
On 19 April 2011, in a post on the forums about basketball at the "Our Sports Central" website, a poster who had previously been identified as the Bluegrass Stallions's Tony Chase stated that the Stallions had formally withdrawn from the league privately earlier.[9]
