Bethesda Blues Latest Entry into the ABA

Indianapolis, IN.  The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the Bethesda Blues, located in Bethesda, Maryland, are the latest entry into the ABA and will begin play next season. 

"In Blaine Davies and Donald Hinson, co-owners of the team, we have two very experienced and capable people," stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. "I believe they'll be a great addition to the Region, Division and ABA."

Blaine Davies has coached tennis at the NCAA Division I, II, III levels and spent three seasons as Head Tennis coach at Hood College. He is currently employed as a teaching pro at the Bethesda Tennis Academy as well as the Georgetown Tennis Club. He has been interested in pro basketball since attending Richmond Rhythm games as a kid in the early 2000s. His coaching expertise and experience working in college athletic departments will be relied upon to hire a strong Head Coach for the Blues that has collegiate experience and who will participate in building the roster.

He is partnered in this venue with Donald Hinson who started as a kid with a love for basketball playing both at the AAU level and high school. He currently is an entrepreneur, real estate investor and educator whose professional experience encompasses business ownership, residential property investment and public education.

"We are excited to bring ABA basketball back to Montgomery County ," added Davies.
