Contrary to Mid August Reports, Terence Dials will not play for French Club JL Bourg

(Terence Dials France Circa 2008/2009)

The Mid August agreement between Former Big Ten Conference MVP Terence Dials (pictured to the left - China May 2010) and LNB (Pro B) club JL Bourg-en-Bresse has evidently fell through. (Bourg's Version of the story)

The signing was announced on August 11 shortly after Dial's run in the Chinese NBL. What we gather from the article is Bourg wanted Dials immediately after the NBL Season (it says negotiations were in late July, his last playoff game in China was on August 10) We do not know why it did not work out, but lets see..play in China from late May to August 10..and then fly to France a week later in preparation for the Fall season?..We think most would opt for a longer break in between or say no thanks all together.

Terence began last season in Germany with Paderborn Baskets (11 games) before moving to Switzerland in early February for a quick cup of coffee with BBC Nyon (6 games). And just when it looked like his 2009/2010 season would be somewhat incomplete, the throwback post player traveled to China around May in preparation for the 2010 NBL season which began in June.

TD was one of the NBL's best players this past season as a member of Western Liaoning. He averaged 21 points & 11 rebounds in twenty games including a season high 37 point performance on June 16! Liaoning's season came to end on August 10 in the NBL quarterfinals at the hands of Guangzhou.

Dials NBL Mix comin' soon...rest up TD..on to the next one.
