Did he though? Didn't he make it clear then that Jack Santiago (DLSU assistant) had to take a leave and wanted to be there with him?

That RP Youth Team had Matthew Wright, Norbert Torres, Gab Banal, and Sam Marata... they were already out of medal contention when Pumaren left (they did beat Iran in Iran who had a young Mohammad Jamshidi).

Danding's 2008 DLSU team (which Dindo Pumaren took over when Franz was in Iran) had Casio, Maierhoffer and a bunch of young players that weren't really pro-material except maybe LA Revilla and Bader Abdulla Jassim (known as Malabes when he came here).

That was a lifetime ago. No need to dig up skeletons. In 15 years, no one will be talking about how Josh Reyes' only play was to give the ball to Kiefer Alas. But then there's this shit.

That's the team that had also had Mendoza, Pascual, Sangalang and RR Garcia. Pretty stacked IMO. He and Altamirano biggest sin though is raiding and poaching our u-18 players, making it harder for schools to lend them..

Also wasn't Wright treated poorly back then?

For context, this was the pre-K12 era. Unless a player came from the US or Canada (like both Torres and Wright), the best 17-year-olds were mostly college freshmen unless they turned 18 before the tournament. Let's say a player went to school without a 7th grade (San Beda?), in those days, he'd already have a full UAAP/NCAA season before turning 18. Wright was reportedly offered by La Salle and was treated very well during his U18 stint when Franz was the U18 coach. For blue chip local recruits, it was always due to "personal reasons" when it actually meant they don't want to be burned out during their freshman year. Much easier to get better players now with K12 since they're still in high school and already made up their mind for college unless they do a Jared Bahay.

College fans back then were bitches when it came to poaching, now that every school does it to the point of players transferring... it's just a matter of how a player feels and padrino budget. That narrative when a player picks certain schools because of education and the flase pretense of of being a student athlete is too 90's. At the end of the day, they all just wanna hoop.

Dunno if I remember it right but the story I remember was that they just left him somewhere with no support or way to get back to Canada when he declined their offer. Or is that a different recruit?

Sir Pao,
cc: Sir weirdguy,

reminds me of bj manalo

back on those days when he transferred from blue to green

almost a telenovela thing for UAAP at that time. ​​​​​​​
 
honestly, I was teary eyed when I read this news

finally justice has been serve not only for all of us sports loving Filipinos

but also to our beloved sports heroes before and to the future

who never get tired of dreaming that someday we will be on top of the Sporting World

because the Filipino had the DNA to play at the highest level and elite

I personally do hope that Pagcor, PCSO and whoever in that 90's Presidency and his cabinet officials

who signed that shameful memo, @#$%^ I'm biting my tongue while typing

I do hope those government offices may not do some Court of Appeal thing

because Philippine Sports deserves more

Mabuhay Coach Yeng even though I'm not a fan of yours

but you deserve the highest respect because really that's a lonely battle along the way.

Mabuhay ang Philippine Sports

I do hope PSC Com Dicke Bachmann uses those billions on the ff.

nationwide grassroot sports development

yearly Batang Pinoy Games and Palarong Pambansa for children 5 yrs. old and above

more Olympic level Sports Facilities

https://www.spin.ph/multisport/ph-s...urt-victory-a4598-20240823?ref=article_feed_1

I think we can't go wrong spending a chunk of that on "true" youth grassroots development. At the very least were encouraging kids to be physically active and learn sportsmanship. Japan has a good youth sports model where they have regular sports fests among schools, cities, regions. It's like a micro Palarong Pambansa/Olympics done regularly everywhere where families do a lot of volunteer work.

Apart from that we can be creative. With the recent popularity of Yulo and gymnastics, I've been seeing on socmed a lot of guys doing training on makeshift gymnastics equipment. We should have more places (in parks, etc) where there are some type of obstacle courses (with bars, olympic rings, balance beams, ramps, etc). Something like a ninja warrior course. This will do a whole lot in improving a kids athleticism that will translate into a lot of different sports.

It's a lot of money were talking about and it can certainly be impactful if used properly.

Sir Mets,

awhile ago I've watched today's Power n' Play 08/24/2024 episode and one of the major topic was all about that historic Supreme Court ruling with CYG as one of the guest.

I do hope they could also invite for an interview the current PSC commissioner on the next episodes to ask him what are his plans moving forward.

good thing you've mentioned about the sports of Obstacle Racing, we Filipinos are the current World Champion and Guiness World Record holder being the fastest of them all

I think the NF are scheduled to participate on this year's American Ninja Competition and that would be exciting and I'm an avid fan of that TV show of AXN.

what excite me about CYG's revelation is that PSC could collect a conservative 25 Billion Php as per SC ruling because it's retro active reimbursement will start in 1993 up to the present that's only for Pagcor so the possibility it's more than 25 Billion and that's only for that agency excluding remittances from PCSO and it's sweepstakes and Lotto transactions way back when the PSC Law takes effect in the 90's

man oh man!!! Philippine Sports will become a superpower in all sports discipline if the purpose of that Billions is to establish Olympic Level type of facilities on all 15 Regions of the country.

Grassroot Development had all the money to invest and the newly created National Academy of Sports will be at par with the rest of the world.

we do hope our Sports Officials may not succumb to the lure of that Billions and become evil unto it

sorry moderator I need to let it out please bear with me on this Mam/Sir

"If ever someone had some evil plans on that Billions have mercy on your souls and the souls of your immediate families because you cannot bring all those money in hell".

anyway, those billions will be reimbursable/release thru tranches to PSC as per CYG.
