2009 Season Review
|
(15-7) – 1st South Division – Longest Win Streak, Season = 5, Longest Loss Streak, Season = 3
Owner and Head Coach Terrence Dickens has brought his deep understanding of IBL basketball, and considerable talents to his third organization (Dickens was co-owner and GM of the Volcanoes in 2005 and 2006 and Dickens was the head coach of the 2007 and 2008 Portland Chinooks). Dickens, in 2009 put together a roster that won 5 of 6 games heading into the playoffs. The Waves were anchored this year by perhaps the league’s tallest, Brad Kanis (26G, 12.8pts, 8.6rbd) – he was 9th in the IBL in rebounding - and shortest, Jeremiah Dominguez (18G, 21.2pts, 8.2ast) players. The team MVP, though, was probably Robert Day (14G, 24.7pts, 9.2rbd, 4.5ast) who was 8th in the IBL in scoring, and finished in the top-15 in rebounding as well. The club’s 4th All-Star Nominee, Oregon State product Lamar Hurd (12G, 19.3pts, 5.7rbds, 6.4ast), produced a top-20 type stat line, in all three categories, while contributing to the team’s quietly strong year. Lamar Hurd is considered by many to be one of the best players in the IBL and his abilities were unleashed at the IBL tournament. Hurd, like the Wave peaked at the playoffs winning over the Vancouver Volcanoes and winning over the host Snohomish County Explosion to punch their ticket to play Los Angeles for the league title July 25th. 2009 All-Stars: Jeremiah Dominguez, Lamar Hurd and Robert Day. For a full preview of the IBL 2009 championship game between the Oregon Wave and the Los Angeles Lightning, see news release on the main page of the IBL web site.

Portland, Oregon - the International Basketball League announces today that it is accepting Beaverton Oregon as a new
market for an IBL team. Games are going to be played at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA. The previous owner of the Portland
territory was Terry Emmert who did not return to the IBL; thus, opening up the Portland area market for a Beaverton team.
IBL Commissioner Mikal Duilio on a Beaverton team playing out of the Beaverton Hoop facility: "Our product is so
efficient that we do not need 3,000 fans per night behind it to survive; that being said, we would like a decent amount of fans
at the games and we feel that YMCA and their new building - the Beaverton Hoop offers a great opportunity to build a fan
base". For an IBL team to work in a particular communitythere
has to be interest from the media, from potential fans, a
venue and sponsors but recently, the IBL has focused on venue partnership as particularly important.
About majority owner Terrance Dickens - in 2005, Terrance Dickens started the Vancouver Volcanoes with IBL
Commissioner Mikal Duilio; they sold the team after the two seasons to current owner Bryan Hunter of Vancouver
Washington. The Volcanoes are now heading into their fifth year of existence (2009) having completed a great 2008 season
wining 18 games and losing only 7 games. Dickens also has a two year
history as a head coach for the Portland Chinooks
where his 2007 Chinooks (owned by Terry Emmert) went to the IBL Championship and lost 113 - 109
to the Elkhart Express
in front of 3,300 fans (video of this game is found on the IBL web site main page scroll to video called 'Elkhart wins').
About majority owner Terrance Dickens: Although the Waves will have support from YMCA and Beaverton Hoop basketball community, the
Oregon Wave would like to have a statewide identity. Dickens vision for the Oregon Wave roster is a collection of some of
the top players from the various Oregon universities. Building on the statewide theme, owner Terrance Dickens plans to build
his team as a tour team as well playing games in various cities such as Medford, Coos Bay, Pendleton and Lincoln City. |
