Steven Brainerd, Bob Chaikin, Steve Dimitry, John Duxbury, Irv Fettig,
Tom Goddard, John Grasso, Coulby Gunther, John Guy, John Hogrogian, John Holcomb,
Joe Hulsebus, J. Michael Kenyon, Al Kirk, David Litterer, Steve Mau, Roger Meyer,
Shawn Oliver, Dick Pfander, Dave Quinn, James Rasko, Dylan Sides and Robert Zwarun
for their contributions, without which this list wouldn't have been as complete.
Much of the information on the early years of professional basketball comes
from Bill Himmelman's work in Robert W. Peterson's excellent book, Cages to
Jumpshots: Pro Basketball's Early Years, and Mark Pollak's Sports Leagues and
Teams: An Encyclopedia, 1871 to 1996, both of which I recommend highly.
*Denotes "phantom" teams or leagues which never played a game, usually because
the team disbanded or was renamed or, in the case of the United Basketball League,
due to a merger of the CBA and WBL which fell through.
