After a poor season start, Quebradillas fired coach Jackson, who later went on to win 11 NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, the team lost both finals to the Cangrejeros de Santurce which were led by NBA players José Ortíz and Carlos Arroyo.

However, the team confronted financial problems at the end of the 2003 season which led the league to declare every Quebradillas player a free agent.

Owner Carlos Rodríguez bought the rights to the Criollos de Caguas players and brought them to Quebradillas.

Former Connecticut Huskies star point guard Marcus Williams joined the team as well as Australian forward Shawn Redhage.

The team continued in a successive streak, reaching the finals again during the 2011 season, but lost in five games to the Capitanes de Arecibo.

The new ownership made a series of changes in personnel, and for the 2013 season acquired the rights to NBL stars Shawn Redhage and Kevin Lisch.

Past owner Carlos Rodríguez established another team for the city and the Piratas de Quebradillas came back with a new roster.

David E. Rivera, bought the Mets of Guaynabo basketball team and transferred it to Quebradillas with the name Piratas.
