History In 1984, John "Doc" Bryan, a Tulsa eye surgeon, decided that too many Tulsa area basketball players were being overlooked because they were not getting the opportunity to play in front of college coaches who regularly scout and recruit during the summer months. With no money, borrowed uniforms and only the incentive to play in post-season summer tournaments, Dr. Bryan formed the Tulsa Hawks, providing the chance for Tulsa area players to test their skills against players such as Ron Artest, Elton Brand, Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Pierce, Steven Jackson and Kobe Bryant. Over the course of 17 years, the Tulsa Hawks established a rich tradition as one of the nation’s elite summer basketball programs, consistently fielding talent-laden teams. The Hawks have been coached by Alan Axley, Mike Bolton and Jim Cox, with countless victories over premier teams from California to New York City. Major titles include three (3) BCI National Championships, as well as consecutive wins in the 1995 Converse National Roundball Invitational over perennial national powerhouse teams: CMH 76er’s, Arkansas Wings, Atlanta Celtics and New York Riverside Church. Most importantly, with Dr. Bryan’s
commitment and vision, the Tulsa Hawks have given over 200 young men the
opportunity to be seen by hundreds of college recruiters, resulting in countless college
scholarships. In addition, these players have had the chance to experience travel,
participate in tournaments across the country and represent the city of Tulsa in a
first-class manner. As can be seen from the following rosters, the Hawks have
been blessed with many great players who have gone on to successful endeavors on and off
the court. We sincerely hope we played a role in helping them along the way.
