The Florida Pit Bulls are an team of the Continental Basketball Association based in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The team was formerly a member of the American Basketball Association, and played their home games in the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. The team, coached by Miami Heat legend Tim Hardaway (who also part-owned and played for the team, hoping to go back to playing for the Miami Heat someday), compiled a record of 19-8 (good for first place in the Barnes-Malone division) in the regular season, despite hurricanes cancelling games and almost wiping out their division. However, the team decided not to go to the playoffs and instead left the ABA. They had applied for membership in the NBA Development League, to be the Heat's affiliate, but the D-League turned them down. Recently the team announced they would be playing in the CBA. However, they will not return to the BankAtlantic Center, but are instead looking for a new venue.
