History
The Throwbacks were founded in 2007 by owner George Bellevue and planned to begin their inaugural ABA home schedule that November at Attack Athletics. After two games, they left the ABA in December 2007 because too few regional opponents remained and joined the newly formed PBL. Coached by Donnie Boyce, Chicago finished 5–15 in the PBL's Western Division in 2008. The Throwbacks lost their opening playoff game to the Arkansas Impact, 115–102. The PBL placed Chicago in its Central Division for 2009. Boyce resigned on February 15 to accept an assistant coaching position with the Reno Bighorns of the NBA Development League, and assistant Charles Scott was named interim head coach. The Throwbacks finished 6–14. They did not return for the PBL's 2009–10 season.
