This idea is actually true. (NBA trainers adhere to this) , mobility to run faster in different directions and jump farther and longer is enhance with exposure to multiple sports at a young age. If you noticed for example Sinclair and Tuffin who both learned basketball relatively late, their mobility and reflexes are excellent , this can be attributed to exposure to sports like rugby , cricket at a young age. Without that exposure they probably would end up mobility wise similar to Arwind Santos- while he can certainly jump his natural instincts to run full court and timing is off.

Actually this is old view already. Way back in the 20-60s, some of our better players actually either played football and basketball, or athletics and basketball; or volleyball and basketball. although, as far as I know, most of them actually played football and basketball. heck, even wilt and russell played both athletics and basketball. so this is not really a new concept.

mvp did the right way with chot why go backwards? chot focuses solely on NT and that's all. tab or MVP should do the same thing. nahahati tuloy ang time ni tab with all the teams (TNT as consultant, HC at ADMU and gilas)

It reeks of desperation to win an amateur basketball title in the country! :rolleyes:

To be accurate on the OQT experience, it's not in the offense were we sputtered even in crunch time (we actually avg 82 pts in OQT compared to 71 pts in 40 min for the 2014 WC) it was failure to make stops on the defensive end , especially in crunch time. While some were due to mismatches a lot of it was mis -assignments in rotations and poor transition defense. Also to be fair NZ and France were better prepared with a game plan and scouted more to play Gilas as compared to our WC opponents

uhm, they were lethargic on both ends of the floor. they may have boosted their scoring avg in OQT but that doesnt mean they had good offense. vs. france after that dropstep from Diaw to push the lead to six, Gilas offense was turned off, energy level went down and there goes the game, which was just a 3 possession game with 4 minutes left, they completely gave up, not taking care of possessions and letting Les blues runaway with a win.. plus a couple of isusubo mo nalang di pa nashoot from Troy Rosario.. vs NZ when blatche trimmed the lead down to 3, i thought we had a game, but i was wrong, nobody running down to defend, nobody attacking the rim.. they thought their good was good enough, wala pa kasi nararating tatamad tamad na. Wish calvin was there to give intensity. Wish don don was there for clutch threes. Daming tamad sa Gilas OQT team na yun kala nila kaya dalhin ni Andray at Jayson.

coaches coach, players play, painters paint, singers sing, dancers dance.. UAAP can actually help coach Tab learn more about Filipino basketball which I think he isn't as familiar with as Chot is. He'll learn how to win in a league where there's an equal playing field.

So Tab must stay longer as Ateneo head coach! Four years from now they could possibly win a title.

That concept is old specially for American athletes,they play baseball,football,basketball,track and field at very young age.Middle School and High School its not surprising to see a student athlete in two or even three differnet sports since schools in the US goes to thru fall,winter and spring.During summer you play for your club sport,parents believe that a tired boy/girl is a good boy/girl you don't have time to do any stupid things when your constantly busy and tired.

South Korea hates China or the US? Well this is the Olympics it would be good gesture to demonstrate good sportsmanship. I was thinking how Smart Gilas would fare if they were the ones in Rio. Good luck.

Chinese balls are planted in their home turf. Playing anywhere away from where their balls are makes them generally nice with their opponents. :p
 
China, Korea, Iran, Taiwan and Japan building national teams on the backs of their national league, while Gilas will be all cadet. I swear if that theme continues on through the home and away games, RIP to the revitalization of Philippine basketball.

Why can't we be as lucky as those other countries?

Because basketball is not as commercialized as it is here. Mind you, the average citizen of those countries don't give a f*** about basketball so there is less politics.

Because kids are focused on development because they want to make a living as a pro

here, hs and college players are being paid like a pro. Even those who are dominating prefer staying 5-7yrs instead of moving up after 2-3yrs
 
gilas should watch boomers play.. good ball and player movement plus tough defense.. it's wonderful to watch when the ball moves side to side..
