Utah Prospectors T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

The Utah Prospectors, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, played one season in the Western Basketball Association, a minor league that lasted a single year. They played at the Salt Palace in 1978-79 and opened with a 121-108 loss to the Washington Lumberjacks in front of 4,122 fans.

Coached by former BYU guard Dick Nemelka, with former University of Utah big man Buster Matheney on the roster, the Prospectors went 19-29 and still made the playoffs, where Reno beat them in the first round. The team ended in April 1979 after the top pro league announced a franchise move to Salt Lake City for the next season, and the Western Basketball Association folded that summer.
