The team's head coach and general manager was basketball veteran Bill Klucas.

After a .500 record of 17-17, the Skeeters just missed the IBA Division playoffs.

The Skeeters posted a league-worst 8-28 record (after a 4-21 start) and were the only team to not make the IBA playoffs.

The Skeeters were sold in 2000, relocated and renamed the Salina Rattlers.

The Rattlers compiled a 9-31 record, averaged 577 fans a game and folded after just one season.
