2008 Gary Steelheads (18-4) – For Steelheads' player statistics, scroll to the bottom of this page. The Steelheads came to the IBL following stints in the Continental Basketball Association (2001—2006) and the USBL (2007). The Steelheads won 9 of their final 10 games to close out their first IBL season- including a win over previously unbeaten Elkhart. Point guard Royce Parran was outstanding for the Steelheads. Parran finished with a triple-double in the 2008 IBL All-Star game en route to MVP honors, and is coming off a 49 point outing against Holland on June 20. The Steelheads completed the season with 18 wins to only 4 losses, but the Steelheads did not participate in the IBL playoffs in 2008.
