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.

Rhinos vs Felinos: LCFA American Football debut in LA

In a contundent win, Felinos won 0-50 in the debut of Rhinos in Los Angeles.

About 15 away from the Bus Terminals, in the Callaquen Rugby Club complex, in the SOCABIO sector, American Football was played in the Rugby fields.

Felinos's Quarterback Acosta could do and test all the plays in the offensive playbook: passed, runned, even scored himself. Was replaced in the second half. On the other hand, Rhinos's lack of experience turned against them, even when playing with enthusiasm, and having 3 offensives knocking on the door inside the red zone, left with no points.

First Quarter's instructions by Coach Cataldo was no mercy.
