History

Basket Hounds was founded in 2022 by active professional player Vitalis Chikoko and coach Tawanda Nemutambwe.[2] The long-term goal of the club was qualification for the Basketball Africa League (BAL), Africa's continental premier league.

The Hounds won their first national BUZ championship in 2024 under coach Nemutambwe, after downing the defending champions JBC in the final.[3] As such, Hounds will make their debut in the Road to BAL, the continental qualifying rounds for the BAL.[4] [5] They became the third Zimbabwean team to play in the competition.[6]
