Franchise history
editIn their initial season (2014–15), the Jefes went 20–20 in the regular season and finished tied for 6th place under head coach Daniel Jaule. The team also had two players selected for the All-Star game: Rayes Gallegos and Jordan Glynn. With the 7th-place finish the Jefes qualified for the playoffs and lost to the Pioneros in the quarterfinals 4–1.
For their second season the Jefes had Francisco Olmos Hernández as head coach.[1] The team opened the season 17–16 and were making a playoff push until they were forced to forfeit their last 6 games due to not meeting roster regulations because of player suspensions.[2] The suspensions were due to an on-court fight against players from rival Correcaminos. After the suspensions and the ruling of game forfeitures by the league, head coach Olmos resigned and went on to coach the Atenienses de Manatí, of Puerto Rico's National Superior Basketball (BSN) league.[2] Assistant coach Pedro Carrillo took over as interim head coach and the team ended the season at 17–22, last in the league.
