They were led by head coach Lee Cotton, who formerly coached LeBron James at St. Vincent-St.Mary High School in Akron, Ohio; he was replaced later in the season by General Manager Tom Vilk. The team finished 6–14. ## Akron Cougars/Oblivion[edit] The team announced that they would be relocating to Akron, Ohio for the 2007 season, replacing the previously announced Akron Quakers. Soon after, the team announced a move to the Universal Basketball League. However, given the state of the Universal Basketball League today, and given the recent announcement of the Akron Energy, a new IBL team headed by Marc Cook, it appears as though the Cougars are defunct. ## External links[edit] * Akron Cougars Official Site * UBL Official Web Site * v * t * e Sports teams based in Ohio Baseball| MLB Cincinnati Reds Cleveland Guardians AAA Columbus Clippers Toledo Mud Hens Akron RubberDucks Dayton Dragons Lake County Captains MLBDL Mahoning Valley Scrappers Lake Erie Crushers Champion City Kings Chillicothe Paints GLSCL Cincinnati Steam Grand Lake Mariners Hamilton Joes Licking County Settlers Lima Locos Lorain County Ironmen Southern Ohio Copperheads Xenia Scouts Basketball| NBA Cleveland Cavaliers G League Cleveland Charge Football| NFL Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns WFA Cincinnati Sizzle Cleveland Fusion Columbus Comets Toledo Reign Hockey| NHL Columbus Blue Jackets AHL Cleveland Monsters ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones Toledo Walleye USHL Youngstown Phantoms USPHL Toledo Cherokee Wooster Oilers Roller derby| WFTDA Akron Roller Derby Burning River Roller Derby Cincinnati Rollergirls Gem City Roller Derby Glass City Rollers Little Steel Derby Girls Ohio Roller Derby MRDA Cincinnati Battering Rams Rugby league| NARL Cleveland Rugby League Rugby union| USARNC Columbus RFC Dayton Area Rugby Club Cincinnati Wolfhounds Soccer| MLS Columbus Crew FC Cincinnati MLS Next Pro Columbus Crew 2 FC Cincinnati 2 USL2 Cincinnati Dutch Lions Dayton Dutch Lions Kings Hammer SC Toledo Villa FC NPSL Akron City FC Cleveland SC FC Columbus WPSL Cleveland Ambassadors Cincinnati Sirens Columbus Eagles Dayton Dutch Lions WFC MLIS Cincinnati Swerve Cleveland Crunch Australian rules football| USAFL Cincinnati Dockers College athletics (NCAA Division I)| * Akron * Bowling Green * Cincinnati * Cleveland State * Dayton * Kent State * Miami * Ohio * Ohio State * Toledo * Wright State * Xavier * Youngstown State This article about a basketball team in Ohio is a stub.
