Chilean Basketball Report: Update for Aug 23

Chilean Basketball Report: Update for Aug 23

By Rod “Alley’Gator” Hunrichse

I got the news and buzz of Chilean Basketball for you in english. A lot is happening and uncertainty is getting clearer. Dimayor and Liga Nacional are being formed, women have a fairly competitive league as well, but not surprisingly, have two leagues. Live televised games helped to improve the coverage and exposure. Minors have competitive tournaments too. The National teams lowered the age limit for a projection to the future, but collected lots of baskets and losses.

DIMAYOR season, the mature Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a transitional 2011-2012 season. The Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Currently, semi professional leagues are underway, only allowing nationals, and divided in regions.

But the regular person is interested in the REAL Professional leagues, the one on for their city, with spectacular foreign players, and classic rivalries.

Here are the current Leagues situation, later the Second Semester Leagues definitions.

Tonight Deportivo Alemán Concepción lost a game receiving Español Talca in the Hills of San Pedro, after a big start, false start, wrong start and bad ending.
