The Syracuse Stallions are a professional basketball team in Syracuse, New York, and members of The Basketball League (TBL).

History

The Syracuse Stallions were founded in 2017 by founding majority member Jim Evans, as well as minority owners Mike Sugamosto and Josh Winans. The team joined the semiprofessional American Basketball Association for the 2018 season.[1] The team had two successful seasons, including championship wins.[2] and decided to become a professional basketball team.

On May 1, 2020, Evelyn Magley, CEO of The Basketball League (TBL), announced the Stallions were approved to join the league for the 2021 season.[3][4]

On August 25, 2021, Nick Peroli, the Stallions head coach announced he would step down from that position and transition to an ownership role of the team. [5] On September 1, 2021, the Syracuse Stallions named Patrick Beilein the new head coach of the team. [6]
