RP YOUTH BASKETBALL TEAM FOR ABC IN DOHA, QATAR NAMED

Manila, Aug. 16, 2000 - National head coach David (Boycie) Zamar announced the Philcom Western Union- Philippine National Team lineup yesterday composed of collegians from the NCAA, UAAP and NCRAA. The team will represent the country in the third Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) Championship for Young Men in Doha, Qatar this month.


Heading the cast are Youth Team veterans Christian Coronel of San Sebastian, Britt Reroma of San Beda College, and Yancy de Ocampo of St. Francis of Assisi School System.


Zamar named 11 regulars, two alternates and four reserves who are members of either the Young Men's or the Youth basketball pool and have seen action in the first National Basketball League (NBL) recently. He said Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) president Freddie D. Jalasco Jr. will head the delegation.


The other regulars are Ronnie Zagala, on residence at FEU; Patrick Tiongco and Mark Joseph Kong, on residence at Letran; Mark Magsumbol of St. Benilde, Ranidel de Ocampo and Ervin Sotto of St. Francis of Assisi, Nelbert Omolon of Philippine Christian University, and Jean Marc Pingris and Manuel Caceres of Philippine School of Business Administration (PSBA).


Named as alternates were Rolly Menor, St. Benilde reserve, and Manuel Caceres of PSBA. Listed as reserves are Christian Cabatu, Anthony Topacio, Marren Padrones, and Romar Menor of St. Benilde who is on the injured list.


"We're all set to go. I had hoped to be able to bring Jenkins (John Joseph Mesina of San Beda), but I'm afraid he cannot make the trip. I've personally talked with San Beda authorities and they have declined to allow him to go with the team to Qatar," Zamar said.

ASIAN BASKETBALL: RP TRIPS JORDAN, ESCAPES CELLAR

CHINA, September 26, 2003 (STAR) By Joaquin Henson - The Philippines yesterday broke into the win column at Jordan’s expense to escape the cellar in Group D of the 22th Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) championships at the Heilongjian University gym in Harbin, China.


Despite the victory, coach Aric del Rosario’s charges failed to advance to the eight-team quarterfinals and dropped to the consolation pool with a 1-2 record. The Philippines earlier lost to Japan, 66-64, and Qatar, 77-69.
Japan and Qatar made it to the quarterfinals while the Philippines and Jordan missed the cut in Group D.


Team manager Danny Francisco told The STAR the Filipinos vented their frustrations on Jordan and won, 83-67. Former Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) pro Ricky Calimag scored 17 points to pace the attack. Celino Cruz chipped in 13, Richie Melencio 13 and Marc Pingris 11.


Late addition Romar Menor hit six points and held Jordan’s top gunner Zaid Al Khas to two in the second period as the Philippines breezed to the lopsided win. The Filipinos erected a 22-point bulge in the third period on Melencio’s triple.


The Philippines outshot Jordan from two-point distance, 52% to 38%, buried more triples, 5-4, grabbed more rebounds, 34-26, dished off more assists, 12-6, had more steals, 9-5 and committed less turnovers, 12-22.
Zaid led Jordan with 17 points. The 6-8 forward played two years as a starter at Gannon University, a Pennsylvania school in the US NCAA Division II. He averaged 17.5 points and 9.5 rebounds as a Gannon senior and led the varsity to a 23-5 record in 1999-2000. Zaid previously saw action as an import in the Spanish league.


Francisco lauded the team for its effort. "We have nothing to be ashamed of," said Francisco. "We almost beat Japan and if only Ranidel (de Ocampo), Irwin (Sotto) and Gary (David) played, we would’ve qualified for the quarterfinals. We weren’t expected to do well but we surprised a lot of experts."


The loss to Japan was a heartbreaker. Japan hired a Croatian coach Zeljko Pavlicevic and played exhibition games in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Spain to prepare for the ABC championships. Still, the Japanese nearly lost to the Philippines’ crippled lineup that brought in three late recruits, two from Talk ‘N’ Text’s reserve list.


The Philippines plays Group A doormat Hong Kong in the first of four consolation games this morning. If the Philippines sweeps its remaining contests, it will finish ninth. The country’s worst finish in the ABC’s 43-year history was 12th in Seoul in 1995 when coach Arlene Rodriguez piloted the national squad whose players included Patrick Fran, Rodney Santos and Siot Tangquincen.


Like the Philippines, Hong Kong lost its first two assignments in Harbin–bowing to Uzbekistan, 68-64, and Lebanon, 90-67. Busan Asian Games veterans Poon Chi Ho and Li Wai Lun shot 11 points apiece against the Uzbeks.


Meanwhile, Jean Henri Lhuillier of Cebuana Lhuillier, the chief backer of the Nationals, noted the team’s lack of necessary manpower to attain its goal of improving its last performance in the tournament.


"Our group is committed to supporting Philippine basketball and we are even looking beyond this year knowing that for us to succeed, it will take a serious commitment and long term planning to reach our goal, our experience in China again emphasized the need to have a common goal for local basketball officials," said Lhuillier.


Lhuillier also pointed out that the team had to do with the players who were made available and not with the players that the coaching staff had wanted to tap. "Against both Japan and Qatar, the team felt the need for big men and outside shooters, and we could have done better if the team had these kinds of players," added Lhuillier.
