History

The Holland Blast produced two IBL Hall of Fame players:

  • Jared Bledsoe, a 6'2" guard originally from Memphis, averaged a league-best, 43 points per game in the 2006 IBL playoffs and is the Holland Blast all-time leading scorer and assist man. He was twice an All-NSIC selection while playing at Moorhead State University, Bledsoe accepted the women's assistant coach position at Concordia College in 2012.
  • Dennis Springs from Toledo, Ohio.
  • Both have enjoyed successful careers playing basketball overseas.

    Former assistant coach Terry Smith took over as head coach for the 2007 season after Mike Ahrens submitted his resignation.

    Coach Smith was Grand Valley State University’s Men's Basketball Coach from 1997-2004 where he won 110 games. Smith has received many professional honors including the 1996 NABC Coach of the Year.
