Jacksonville SLAM
The Jacksonville SLAM was a team in the Premier Basketball League. They were a successor of sorts to the Jacksonville JAM. The SLAM came into existence after a public dispute between the owner of the JAM and his players and coaches on getting payment for services.[1] After seeming to resolve the conflict,[2] the PBL announced that the ownership of the JAM had failed to meet obligations and that the league was taking control of the franchise.[3] The PBL records and some of the players were transferred to the league-run entity.[4] Notably, the coach declined to join the new entity. The owner retained the name of JAM. On February 13, 2008, USBasket reported that Scott Cooper was named the head coach.[5] When the slate of 2008-2009 teams for the PBL was announced,[6] the SLAM was not listed on it and therefore it is considered folded.
