The 2013-2014 Las Vegas Wildcards season is the 2nd season of the franchise in Las Vegas and the 8th in the Furry Basketball Association (FBA). The franchise was formerly known as the Idaho Mounties, and was relocated to Las Vegas and rebranded as the Wildcards.

Key Dates

  • 09/01/13 Start of Free Agency
  • 10/13/13 Draft Day held in Las Vegas, NV at the FBA Amphitheatre
  • 01/24/14 Firing of Rolf Volker as Head Coach and promotion of Jayce Blackson from Assistant Coach
  • 04/13/14 Contract buyout of Vishnu Cross pushes team over salary cap and bans them from playoffs
  • 04/18/14 Resignation of Jayce Blackson as Head Coach and hiring of Roderick Estel as Head Coach

Summary

Reorganized into a different division, the Wildcards looked to make a stronger showing in the league for this year. Upper management politics, however, saw the team spiral slowly down the ranks of the Western Conference until an ill-advised contract buyout disqualified the club from entering the post-season.
