2009 Season Review
|
(17-5) – 1st North Division - Longest Win Streak, Season = 6; Longest Loss Streak, Season = 1
The defending 2008 IBL Champions began the year with most of the core of that champagne popping bunch back to make a run at title number two, all except their leading scorer and floor general Ryan Diggs (8G, 24.3pts, 6.3ast, 4.2rbd) who was still playing in the NBA D-League playoffs with the Utah Flash. Still, the Slam played their usual high level of basketball under the guidance of Head Coach Rod Ridnour and was able to win the North Division crown and secure a first-round bye in the American Bracket of the IBL Playoff Tournament. Diggs—when he did return—immediately picked up where he left off averaging nearly 25 points a game in his late season return; however, Bellingham found a new leader early in the season- in Tyler Amaya (19G, 23.4pts, 11rbd) who put up terrific numbers, finishing in the top 10 in both scoring and rebounding. Bellingham also leaned on—soon to be two-time All-Star Jacob Stevenson (21G, 20.9pts, 6.6rbs) who upped his scoring average to better than 20 a night. Newcomer Ira Graham (22G, 18.5pts, 5.4ast) also arrived to fill the point guard role and kept the explosive Slam running as he added nearly 20 points per game to go with 6.5 assists—good for 7th in the league. The Champs returned to Monroe, WA looking to repeat their title run from last season and after a hard fought win against the Tacoma Tide (116-111) they were eliminated by the Los Angeles Lightning in the American Bracket final by a score of 132-121. For all of the Slam players’ final statistics (or for any team) and as well—for game results from the 2009 season, visit the Slam team page on the IBL web site. 2009 All-Stars: Ryan Diggs, Tyler Amaya, Jacob Stevenson, Ira Graham.
