After the season, he was selected in the 1988 expansion draft by one of the league's two newest franchises, the Miami Heat,[1] but did not play a game for them. He split his final season in 1988-89 with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs,[2] playing five total games.

He also played with the Continental Basketball Association's Albany Patroons.[3]

As of 2009, Stroeder was the head boys basketball coach at his alma mater, Port Townsend High School in Port Townsend, Washington. He led the Redskins to a 23-3 record and a sixth-place finish at the 2008 Class 2A State Basketball Tournament and a 23-4 record and a third-place finish at the 2009 Class 1A State Basketball Tournament.[4][5]
