The Fort Wayne Hoosiers (originally the Fort Wayne Major Hoosiers) were an American basketball team based in Fort Wayne, Indiana that was a member of the American Basketball League.
The club finished the 1927–28, 1928–29, and 1930–31 seasons as runners-up.[1] Supposedly, the Hoosiers would later return and rebrand themselves into the Fort Wayne Chiefs for the National Professional Basketball League (a precursor league of sorts to the National Basketball League that would eventually merge with the Basketball Association of America to become the present-day National Basketball Association) for the 1932–33 season, finishing with a 4–9 record before folding operations for good.[2][3]
