The Indianapolis Olympians were formed by five players who had been on the 1948 and 1949 Kentucky championship teams as well as the '48 Olympic gold team. Two players were accused of point shaving while at UK and banned from the NBA for life. Two BU players, Bob Evans and Ralph "Buckshot" O'Brien – who were not involved in the scandal – played for the Olympians. The team folded in 1952. Two other professional teams, the Indianapolis Jets and the Indianapolis Kautskys, also played their home games at the fieldhouse in the 1930s. 
 
Nearly 11,000 fans crowded into Hinkle Fieldhouse on January 9, 1968 to watch the new American Basketball Association play its first All-Star game. The East team, featuring Indiana Pacers players Roger Brown, Bob Netolicky, and Freddie Lewis, won, 126-120. Larry Brown, who played for the New Orleans Buccaneers, was named MVP. The legendary George Mikan and Rick Barry were in attendance as representatives of the new league.
