The Syracuse Shockwave was an expansion franchise of the American Basketball Association, scheduled to begin play in the 2014-15 season. It was the second attempt by the Syracuse franchise to be launched (and fail) by owner Chuck Iavarone.
Based in Syracuse, New York, the Shockwave were originally scheduled to begin play in 2009-10. The debut was delayed a season as owner Chuck Iavarone was recalled to the U.S. Army Reserve.[1] [2] The team never launched.
The 2014-15 version of the Shockwave announced in early September the hiring of new head coach Ryan Blackwell.[3] On October 24 it was reported[4] that the team would disband operations two weeks before the season was to begin.
