History

The league began in 1930, and is noted for having had several head coaches who went on to achieve international recognition later in their careers. Among these are Basketball Hall of Fame members Tex Winter, who coached the Ponce Lions in the early 1950s, Red Holzman, who also coached Ponce in the 1960s, and Phil Jackson, who coached Quebradillas and Isabela in the late 1980s. Others include Lou Rossini, Del Harris, P.J. Carlessimo, Bernie Bickerstaff and Herb Brown.

During the 1980s, notable players followed in the footsteps of players such as Juan "Pachin" Vicens (Named Greatest Basketball Player in the World at the Basketball World Championship, held in Santiago, Chile

Throughout the years, the best Puerto Rican players of the BSN have been selected to participate in Puerto Rico's national team.

2008-present

Prior to the inauguration of the 2008 season, Henry Neumann resigned as president and entered politics. Felix "Felo" Rivera, then owner of the Criollos de Caguas, was selected to succeed him. Rivera debuted as president on September 22, 2007, when he presided over a meeting with most of the league's staff and other members of the sports community in Puerto Rico. The meeting extended to ten hours and served primarily as a ceremony to officially present him as the BSN president. Several changes to the league's rules were discussed, with two being adopted. The first one being a 50% penalty to franchises with payrolls larger than the $500,000 cap. This had been approved before in 2004 and only Santurce and Ponce failed to stay under the salary cap, however it was abandoned following the conclusion of that season. The main difference was that, with the new rule, the money that the league received with the penalty would be awarded to teams that didn't go over the cap. The second rule approved was that restrictions on second "reinforcement" players were dropped, noting that the quality of immigrant players was supposed to rise. In the meeting, the league announced that the 2008 tournament would begin on March 1, 2008, earlier than in previous years. When September concluded, Miguel Laborde was replaced by Juan Trinidad as the BSN's tournament director.

Teams

The current league organization features 10 teams in a single division.
