I would love to do a team in St. George but with this economy it would be tough to find a backer and sponsors......but I love the idea...

Hi All, Well I am sure that some of you have noticed that the Las Vegas Stars have been removed from the IBL website. Well, here are a few facts about the downfall of the Stars..... Alexis Levi, the owner/GM, has no money....I know you are surprised at this...because most mionor league team owners a...

[quote=""CoachSavage""]I Coached against both this season. We played in Elkhart and lost by 2 in overtime.....and we played in Bellingham and lost by almost 50. I think this game is going to come down to the wire and Bellingham will pull it out with the home court advantage. Look...

#8 - Tacoma
#9 - Portland
#10 - Windy City

This list was not based on # of fans, but rather on my teams overall experience.
