ABA Pro Basketball League Announces 12th Expansion Team
Indianapolis, IN. Joe Newman, ABA Co-Founder, today announced the 12th team in the record-growing pro basketball league - Charlotte, North Carolina. According to Newman, "We know that the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats are starting next season, but the ABA and new owners felt strongly that the market was large enough and basketball fan support great enough to handle two teams. We believe that fans will love the fast-paced, high scoring, entertainment filled ABA style of play - at ABA affordable prices."
Tony N. Priscaro, team co-owner added, "And our goal is to find the best available players from schools like Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, NC State and other area teams to fill our roster. There are so many great players available from this area. It should be exciting seeing them all together on the same team. With ticket prices averaging around $10.00, our games will be affordable for families, students, seniors, military, everyone. We wish the Bobcats well, but we think our team will be the team to watch next season."
Priscaro is the founding partner of Celebrity Promotional Services, a sports marketing firm; he is also National Marketing Director for Capital Marketing Concepts in St. Petersburg, Florida. A 1992 graduate of Slippery Rock University, he is a professional musician and has appeared in the movie, "The Break," with Martin Sheen and has also hosted a variety of radio and TV shows. Tony continued, "We will combine sports and entertainment and make every game fun, interesting and exciting - show business meets sports business."
Dwayne D. Woodruff, the other co-owner, is a founding partner with the law firm of Woodruff, Flaherty & Fardo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also Regional Vice President of Capital Asset Research Corporation, but is best known as having been a defensive back for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 12 years including one season as team MVP. Dwayne was a 1979 graduate of the University of Louisville, holds a BS in Finance and earned his Juris Doctor Degree from Duquesne School of Law. "We thought long and hard about where we wanted to put our team. We could think of no better area than North Carolina," stated Woodruff, "It is the center of basketball and we will give the fans their money's worth."
