The Hawks have two mascots. SkyHawk (left) and Harry the Hawk (right). The idea is to make SkyHawk more of an aggressive mascot for the real fans and make Harry the Hawk nicer and more family friendly.

Head Coach Larry DrewHe is a retired NBA player who was selected by the Detroit Pistons in the 1st round (17th overall) of the 1980 NBA Draft. He was a 6’1 point guard from the University of Missouri. During his 10 season NBA career he played for the Pistons, Kansas City/Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. Before becoming the head coach, Drew was an assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks. On the new Hawks we would keep him around because he is leading the team in the right direction.
