The IBL is having the best year ever in terms of talent; the IBL season is almost finished and playoffs will occur on July 1, 2 and 3 at Clark College in Vancouver Washington. The following are some random notes and clarifications for the OurSportsCentral readers- • Yakima is not in the IBL but we d...

The International Basketball League is fine; IBL provide home schedules six months in advance for most teams and the IBL backs those schedules for our teams so they can market and find ways to make the season work as best as possible...
