SEASON REVIEW The 2011-12 Season...
Coming off two consecutive trips to the NBA D-League playoffs, the Tulsa 66ers posted a 23-27 record in the 2011-12 season. Tulsa claimed sixth place in the D-League’s Western Conference, narrowly missing a postseason appearance by two wins.
Guard Jerome Dyson also impressed on a nightly basis, boasting a team-best 17.8 points per game – good for the league’s ninth-best scoring average.
Two weeks into the start of the 2011-12 campaign, Tulsa Head Coach Nate Tibbets accepted an assistant coaching position with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers after leading the 66ers to a 4-1 start. In over two seasons with the franchise, Tibbets had compiled a 64-41 (.610) record and guided the squad to two-straight postseason appearances, including a trip to the 2010 NBA D-League Finals. Then-assistant Dale Osbourne was immediately named the club’s new head coach on December 5. Osbourne claimed his first win of his D-League head coaching career when the team took down Dakota 98-88 on December 9. The 66ers were led throughout the year by veteran center Marcus Lewis, who collected a team-best 34 double-doubles in 46 games. Lewis averaged 15.1 points per game and led the D-League with an average of 12.7 rebounds. The center also overtook the 66ers’ all-time top spot for rebounds (989) and games played (137).
