The Dallas Generals was a team of the American Basketball Association that began play in the 2009-10 season.[1] The franchise was owned by entertainment industry veteran Keio Gamble.[2] The team's home games were played at Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas, Texas.[3] The team ceased operations in January 2010 with announced intentions to return for the 2010-11 season. Ultimately, the franchise was replaced by a new team, the Dallas Impact.

The team's first head coach was the internationally-known Chris Terrell of Southern California; former coach of Mexico's LNBP.[3]

Their flagship players were streetball veteran Taurian Fontenette, better known as "Mr. 720" and "The Air Up There", and NBA veteran Anthony "Pig" Miller.[4] Other players included Dallas native Jonathan Walker.[5]

Reorganization

The team took "a momentary step back from operations" after their December 5, 2009, home game in order to reorganize.[6] They announced their intention to resume play with a home game on January 2, 2010.[6] Later in January 2010, the team announced it was ceasing operations for the remainder of the 2009-2010 season, refunding tickets, and regrouping to return for the 2010-2011 season.[7] A new franchise with different ownership, the Dallas Impact, replaced the Generals for the 2010-2011 season.[8]
