The Cary Invasion is a minor-league professional basketball team based in Cary, North Carolina, that began play in 2011 as a member of the Continental Basketball League (CBL) and later joined the Tobacco Road Basketball League (TRBL) and the Premiere Basketball League (PBL).[2] Home games are played at the Herbert Young Community Center[2] in Downtown Cary.
2011–2012
[edit]After winning the CBL championship in their inaugural season, the team announced (with the Wilmington Sea Dawgs) the formation of the Tobacco Road Basketball League and their membership therein.[3]
The Invasion finished second in the TRBL, but lost in the championship game to the PrimeTime Players after besting the Wilmington Sea Dawgs in the semi-final. Head coach Marqus Johnson stepped down for a college coaching position and was replaced by Chris La Rocca,[1] who lasted a short time and was then replaced by current head coach Erasto Hatchett.
