   Basketball Association of America (BAA)
   The Basketball Association of America (BAA), founded in 1946, began its inaugural season. The league was organized by arena owners primarily in major Northeastern and Midwestern cities, aiming to fill their large indoor ice hockey rinks on nights when hockey was not scheduled. The BAA’s initial appeal was based on attracting college stars and presenting a more cosmopolitan, urban style of play than the existing National Basketball League (NBL).
