The Tacoma franchise in the Pacific Coast Professional Basketball League, popularly known at the Coast Pro League, took on the Harlem Globetrotters during their one season (1947-48). Jack Voelker (No. 9 in white), a former UW player, and Marv Harshman (No. 4) scramble for a loose ball in the exhibition game. The Mountaineers, like many Coast Pro League teams, failed to spark enough interest from fans to keep the league alive after two seasons.Lexicon
