Coach Manolo "Waterboy" Cintron has resigned. Rumors he did not resign. Word is that his days are numbered.

Renaldo Balkman has posted on his tweeter account that despite issues with the past coaching staff, he will remain with the team in hopes to the Olympic games.

Yes!!!

Well even if we finished with a 1-4 record, we proved our level in the questionable losses we had against Turkey and Greece, our players also know know how the games are played at World competitions, and Manolo quit.

We will lose our tenth ranking after this showing, but we will recover it with a probable medal in this new cycle.

We already started with a centrobasket gold, now lets win Fiba Americas next year. The US, Argentina, Brazil, and DR will be our main opponents.

Its time to also integrate some of our prospects in this team. I would change these players

Filiberto- Mike Rosario
Carmelo- Edwin Ubiles
Sanchez- Angel García
Guillermo- Jorge Bryann Diaz

Everyone else stays intact.

What do you guys think?

Wait a minute LFGC79 Manolo hasnt resigned

You devil you, got me happy for a minute there.

[rikhardur]

Hopefully a fresh start for PR, K2 will be happy

[TDW]

I may be crazy but I'm a bit excited ( as long as Manolo gets fired)

We have tons of talents to form a competitive team plus we have some good coaches that can help us get rid of our miserable coaching staff. We could always use a foreign coach too.

So if you we get a better coach and form a good team, we have a legitimate chance at qualifying for the 2012 Olympics.

I am really sad of what happened to your team..

I think you gave a gift to china in order to qualify to the second round...
Your team is really strong but what happened in your4 games????
what was the main reasons?

[J-Mart]

young team, bad coaching staff, refs, poise and internal problems

upside is huge...
Arroyo, Barea, Filiberto
Vassallo, Huertas
Balkman, Galindo, Ubiles
Sanchez, Peavy
Ramos, JB Diaz

top team in years to come

[bobo81]

It was just an unfortunate year and time when all this happen. We can say what could have happened...but it's all past tense now.

First of all dump Manolo. After that I am all for a new regeneration.

...and YES I'd love to see some Mike Rosario on this team.

Mike Rosario is a great prospect for PR, he is 20 years old. He will continue in the NCAA or will became pro?

Why did U-20 FIBA Americas Championship end? I think it is a way to watch the upcoming generation.

As far as I know, he will play NCAA this year.

[cardenales]

TDW, he is going to be a redshirt this year. He leave Rutgers and went to Florida so he wont be able to play this year for the Gators.

[bobo81]

Correct. He left Rutgers because the coach left so he didn't want to play for anyone else. I personally hate it when good players transfer cause they got to sit out an entire year, but can't wait to see him in a gator shirt next year.

I wonder what this will do to his chances of playing for PR in the Americas now. Dude might be a little rusty.

[TDW]

Ok, thank you, my NCAA knowledge is limited

I saw JB Diaz play last year and I rather have Sanchez, Peter and Santiago instead.

I hope he is getting better though.

When Manolo gets fired.

I think is better that he is fired rather than he resigning. It is better to humiliate him with firing. if he gets fired I will have a party in my house... for real. A big ass party. I mean it.

Spanish Coach Manuel "Moncho" Monsalve rumored to be a leading candidate. Thoughts?????

Better than having Manolo as coach, but I rather have Rolando as our coach
