The Cary Invasion is a minor-league professional basketball team based in Cary, North Carolina, that began play in 2011 as a member of the Continental Basketball League (CBL) and later joined the Tobacco Road Basketball League (TRBL) and the Premiere Basketball League (PBL).[2] Home games are played at the Herbert Young Community Center[2] in Downtown Cary.

2011–2012

After winning the CBL championship in their inaugural season, the team announced (with the Wilmington Sea Dawgs) the formation of the Tobacco Road Basketball League and their membership therein.[3]

The Invasion finished second in the TRBL, but lost in the championship game to the PrimeTime Players after besting the Wilmington Sea Dawgs in the semi-final. Head coach Marqus Johnson stepped down for a college coaching position and was replaced by Chris La Rocca,[1] who lasted a short time and was then replaced by current head coach Erasto Hatchett.
