PACIFIC COAST BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Finished: 8-21 .276, 5th place
The Salem team was wrought with attendance problems, and by the end of January, were a team looking for a new home. They played in various venues, even giving Tacoma a try before merging with the floundering Spokane franchise in early February. The new team, called the Spokane Blazers, would eventually drop out of the league on February 17.
