The East Kentucky Miners were a professional basketball team in the American Basketball Association that began play as a member of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) 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 were 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.[5] They finished the season with a 26–22 record.

The Miners' finished an abbreviated 2008–2009 season with a 7–7 record, with 13 remaining games canceled after the CBA halted operations midseason.[6]

The Miners then joined the American Basketball Association the following July. Despite expectations of fielding a team into November and potential sponsors lined up, the team never appears to have ever played a game in the ABA.[7][8]
