FRANCHISE HISTORY

The Red Skins played in the National Basketball League from 1938 to 1949, led the league in defense five times, appeared in five championship series and won the 1942-43 title, defeating the league-leading Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons (today's Detroit Pistons ) in the finals. Sheboygan and six other NBL teams merged with the 10-team Basketball Association Of America on Aug. 3, 1949, to become the National Basketball Association . The Red Skins played the 1949-50 season in the NBA and qualified for the playoffs, where they nearly upset the Western Division champion Indianapolis Olympians . They withdrew from the NBA on April 24, 1950, and then joined the new National Professional Basketball League . Sheboygan posted the NPBL's best record (29-16) in 1950-51, after which the league dissolved.
