{{main|Basketball at the 1980 Summer Olympics}}
Plagued by a lack of popularity and support for basketball at home, at times, India faded into oblivion and only had a handful of successful performances. Its most noteworthy tournament appearance was at the [[Basketball at the 1980 Summer Olympics|1980 Summer Olympics]] when the team got its chance to represent Asia due to the cancellations of some teams who took part in the [[American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics]]. A few of the world's top basketball powers at that time (such as the [[United States national basketball team|United States]] and [[Canada men's national basketball team|Canada]]) withdrew from the tournament. India finished 12th out of 12 in the Olympics after getting knocked out in the Preliminary Round by losing all three of their matches and then losing all five of their matches in the Classification round.


While the results did not go India's way one game in particular caught the attention of basketball fans worldwide. India played against the [[Australia men's national basketball team|Australian Team]], one of the world's top basketball teams. India, which was made up solely of voluntary basketball players competed against the elite team of [[Australia men's national basketball team|Australia]] for almost the whole game until it finally ceded to [[the Boomers]] 75-93 after leading at halftime 41–37.<ref>http://archive.fiba.com/pages/eng/fa/game/p/gid/10/grid/X/rid/727/sid/2940/tid/301/_/1980_Olympic_Games_Tournament_for_Men/statistic.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160203000503/http://archive.fiba.com/pages/eng/fa/game/p/gid/10/grid/X/rid/727/sid/2940/tid/301/_/1980_Olympic_Games_Tournament_for_Men/statistic.html|date=3 February 2016}} FIBA: 1980 Olympic Games : Tournament for Men, archives.fiba.com, accessed 17 October 2011.</ref>

Even though the team lost most games, its performance against [[Lebanon national basketball team|Lebanon]], which had made it to the final four at the previous tournament, superseded expectations.


In 2012, former NBA D-League and U.S. college coach, Scott Flemming, took over the team. Under his supervision, the team won the [[South Asia Basketball Championship|South Asia Championship]] in 2014.

This was Team India's first title ever in a non-Asian competition. In the [[2014 FIBA Asia Cup]] India pulled off the biggest win in their 80-year history by defeating China on their home court 65–58. The establishment of a professional league was a major step in continuing this recent success the Indian team had experienced.
