By Rod “Alley’Gator” Hunrichse, 20120824

Professional basketball pre-season is underway, uncertainty is getting clearer. DIMAYOR and Liga Nacional are being formed, yes, two parallel leagues. Live televised games help to improve the exposure and funding.

DIMAYOR 2011-2012 season, the mature but returning Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a restructuration. The parallel Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Most players competed on different leagues.

Español Talca recently decided to move from DIMAYOR to Liga Nacional. Español was dissolved after the DIMAYOR postseason, most players reinforced nearby Maxibásquetbol Chillán.
