Terence Dill believes a row between Buffalo Stampede’s coaches and players prevented the team from reaching the Atlantic Coast Professional Basketball League (ACPBL) playoffs.The Stampede narrowly missed out on the post season, finishing the regular campaign with a 7-7 record.But Dill is adamant the team could have finished in the top four had it not been for a division in the camp which saw their performances suffer.“We didn’t make the playoffs and it’s a bit disappointing but we have to live with this,” said former Devonshire Dragons forward Dill. “There was a division in the team between coaches and the players and our game suffered because of this.“I wasn’t with the team when the whole ordeal began but when I returned it was obvious things weren’t right.“This isn’t to say that we let teams beat us, but we didn’t play to our strengths and in the end it was a huge blow to us. We lost our last three games and didn’t make the playoffs.”Although the season would be deemed a failure, for Dill it was an encouraging start to his professional career after signing his first pro deal at the beginning of the season. And the future looks bright for the 24-year-old, who expects to sit down with the team’s owners soon to discuss his future with the New York-based side.“I rate my first season as being pretty good in terms of effort, but I didn’t adapt as quickly as I would have liked to in terms of the transformation from Bermuda to US,” he said.“Hopefully next year I can go one better and make the starting five. I have spoken to the owner about next year and coming back so it looks promising that I will be back here coming the new season.”The 2011 Championship Game was won by True Hope Trailblazers who beat Garden State Rebels 97-96 in overtime.Stampede's general manager, and former Hall of Famer, Bouie Roosevelt watched Dill in action during a visit to Bermuda last summer and subsequently invited him for a three-day trial.But Dill's chances of impressing were ruined when he turned his ankle forcing him to return home to recover from his injury and weigh up his next move.He attended trials for a team in North Carolina and considered trying his luck in Europe before Stampede came calling again.
