In the first leg match, Brianza Casa Basket strolled, to the sound of triples and showtime on one of the ugliest versions of Purple Basketball.
The Reggio citizens return to the PalaCalafiore: 18 points still up for grabs, a math that doesn’t condemn Reggio for trying to secure a place in the play-offs for B D’Eccellenza, but at the same time, the eight-point delay from twelfth place is very heavy.
Lots of news: Davis will be there, awaiting news on his departure, heading to Buffalo for purely work reasons.
There is no longer Provenzani, in his place the winger Tiberti, ready to lend a hand.
Developments are expected from the transfer market and the focus is on the Balic-Marchini axis.
There won’t even be Coach Bolignano disqualified for two matches: he will be replaced by deputy Pasquale Motta.
As is normal, considering that the game is played along the strait, the referees will not be Romeo from Calamizzi and Cozzupoli from Gebbione, but Donato 
Davide Nonna from Saranno (Va) and Riccardo Paolo Giudici from Bergamo, towns really close to the location of the opposing team.
Will it be an accident or an emergency designation? We don’t know, but all of this, and not only this, leaves us perplexed.
In the meantime, “Purple Basketball, in the person of President Carmelo Laganà and in every corporate component, deeply dismayed by the passing of Eng. Gianni Exchange, expresses condolences for his disappearance and closeness to the family.
Without the work, commitment and dedication of Gianni Ricambi, to whom the city of Reggio owes deep gratitude, the neroarancio would not have achieved the results that brought Viola Reggio Calabria to the top of national basketball. The neroarancio company under the Presidency of Eng. Exchange has distinguished itself not only for the exciting results achieved, but also for having spread the image of the city of Reggio Calabria in its most positive sense in Italy and beyond national borders.
Thank you President, rest in peace.
