The East Kentucky Miners are a professional basketball team in the Continental Basketball Association set to begin play in the 2007-2008 season. The Miners, announced in the local paper[1], and on the Trinity Sports & Entertainment Group (headed by Jay Fiedler)'s website[2], were formally announced by the league on July 6, 2007 [3]
The Miners will be coached by Kevin Keathley for the 2007-2008 season. Keathley is the former coach of the Kentucky Colonels [4]
Though the team may be considered to be a continuation of the Florida Pit Bulls/Miami Majesty, ownership considers the team to be an expansion franchise.
During the 2007-2008 season the Miners scored 194 points in a game, a CBA record.
