Mansfield Hawks
The Mansfield Hawks were an International Basketball Association (IBA) professional basketball team that existed for exactly two basketball seasons in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. After a successful inaugural season, the Hawks won the IBA championship in their second, and final, season of existence. They were guided by local, but infamous, coach Kevin Mackey. One of the Hawks' notable players was 7 ft 2 in, 315 pound center Garth Joseph, a dominating presence with a physical appearance resembling Shaquille O'Neal. The team played its home games in the gymnasium of Malabar Middle School in Mansfield, Ohio.
In 2005, Mansfield was again targeted as the home for another possible professional basketball team .
