The dispute of the 19th edition of the Uruguayan Basketball League in which Biguá comes out to defend his title, in which Pablo López returns to technical leadership and in which Aguada starts as a firm candidate due to the composition of his squad.
Biguá kept his national chips after being champion of the 2021 League that had an abbreviated edition as a result of the coronavirus pandemic that stretched the outcome of the 2019-2020 League until February 2021. Also follow who was the best player of the tournament, the American Donald Sims.
In place of Victor Rudd, who will return when his season in Puerto Rico ends, there will be an acquaintance of the house: Anthony Johnson. The substantial change occurred with the arrival of João Vitor França, a 2.15-meter, 22-year-old Brazilian center, by the experienced Hatila Passos.
The coach will be Diego Cal, former Capitol, instead of Argentine Hernán Laginestra.
Surprisingly eliminated in 2021 by Capitol in the quarterfinals, Aguada returns to the ring with the badge of the favorite to try to recover the title he achieved in 2018-2019 with Miguel Volcan as coach and 2019-2020 by the hand of Argentine Adrián Capelli.
Just as Biguá managed to repatriate Santiago “Pepo” Vidal in the last tournament and build his championship from there, Aguada made a great bet for Mathías Calfani who returns to Uruguay after playing two seasons in Japan.
The rojiverde, who will turn 100 next year, kept Federico Bavosi, Leandro García Morales, Federico Pereiras and Sebastián Izaguirre but did without Mateo Sarni to add Calfani. Regarding foreigners, he made a total renovation: Dwayne Davis, Al Thornton and Lee Roberts will no longer be there and in their place came the Argentine forward Marcos Mata, the American point guard Tyreek Duren and the pivot of that same nationality, Jarvis Varnado, who was hired after the arrival of the British fell. Prince Ibeh, defender of the Rwanda national team.
The coach will be the Venezuelan of Uruguayan parents Daniel Seoane, former technical assistant of Argentine Néstor “Che” García.
The League 2021-2022 has a very special seasoning: the return to technical leadership of Pablo López, after finishing a long and successful cycle with Malvín, which led him to win five leagues (record). After losing in the quarterfinals of the 2019-2020 League against Urunday Universitario, Malvín and López parted ways and DT returns as Peñarol’s coach instead of Edgardo Kogan.

Pablo López, an important return
Peñarol lost Gustavo “Panchi” Barrera who went to Defensor Sporting and also suffered the retirement of Nicolás Mazzarino. He was reinforced with Martín Aguilera and Diego Soarez and in matters of foreigners he opted for the former Aguada Lee Roberts. He could not have Puerto Rican David Huertas again and hired former NBA DeAndre Liggins, forward.
Nacional, finalist of the last season and semifinalist of the previous three tournaments, lost three important players: Carlos Cabezas returned to Spain and retired, Marcel Souberbielle broke his ligaments in full definition of the 2021 League and Esteban Batista went to Hebraica Macabi. The team opted for Mauro Zubiaurre and Emiliano Bastón and their chances will depend a lot on the team chemistry achieved by Leonardo Zylbersztein, a coach who always plays the protagonist.

Batista already played in Hebraica Macabi in the playoffs of the 2019-2020 season
Macabi will be directed by former Trouville Germán Fernández and was also reinforced by Miguel Barriola.
Olimpia, in the fourth season with Gerardo Jauri as coach, will undoubtedly be another of the animators of a tournament that will have two newcomers: Olivol Mundial and Urupán.
Goes put together a very interesting squad by keeping the brothers Martín and Joaquín Osimani and Fernando Martínez adding two of the sub 23 who may have more prominence: Nahuel Lemos and Ignacio Xavier. The Argentine Franco Giorgetti also stayed and the Venezuelan Néstor Colmenares, a great figure of Trouville vice-champion in 2015, joined. The missionary will have the other foreign coach, Argentine Guillermo Narvarte, for the second consecutive season.
The other that has a sub 23 who will be the protagonist is Malvín with Nicola Pomoli. Federico Camiña’s team’s first goal is to get into the top eight and then try to move to the semis, as Defensor Sporting.
When it comes to youth, Trouville continues with its home players betting on repeating its remarkable 2019-2020 season (finalist). Marcelo Signorelli will be the coach on his return to the courts after being dismissed from the Uruguay national team in the final stretch of the Qualifiers for the 2019 World Cup in China.
Marcelo Signorelli will direct Trouville
These are, club by club, all the protagonists that the contest will have.
