Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[mathematicianrcg]

So how is Coach Chot going to coach TNT and Gilas at the same time? PBA resumes at Feb 11 and the World Cup qualifiers is at Feb 24.

Probably he will let his assistant coaches handle TNT when he is not around.

Yes, another concern.

If he will be the permanent coach. He should be full time, not part time

*Facepalm*

Sí. Lo entiendo. Esto es simplemente Mierda.

Estoy de acuerdo, compadre, gracias. Qué terrible para nuestro equipo nacional.

Giving the benefit of the doubt

If Coach Tab really requested to step down. ( Which I doubt. Lol)

I really think they should just went for any european coach. But, maybe they do not want that

[IPC]

Not just midget ball.

Our bigs again will have no involvement on offense besides put backs. Look at Junemar and Japeth. Ano role nila sa offensa? Halos utility guys lang sila at wala man lang range.

I feel sorry for what will happen to Tamayo, Balti, and Navarro.

Even Kai will be put into this role. Do SBP understand the tactical and developmental implications of this? Hijo de puta.

[Sikatrix]

Good luck to our defense and post game then.

Clarkson is the better ceiling play. The talent gap between peak Clarkson and our second best player is massive. Just hope he is still at his peak in two years.

I saw this already coming.. when chot hired as a head coach of tnt.. I have already suspected that chot might be back as gilas coach.. and when he bring tnt to championship last conference.. it was already settled that one day chot will again coach gilas.. honestly this is unexpected.. I was thinking that he can come back after 2023.. now the question is who will coach tnt? Bad move for mvp.. he should not elevated yet chot to gilas because tnt needs him.. he’s the only coach that he can match smc’s power in the pba.. without chot, smc will benefit with this scenario because no more chot in their their way…

he is no longer fit to coach Gilas. his plays are well-scouted by other countries. his defensive strats are terrible. his player selection is also terrible as sh*t. can CBC do what Navarro did in defense and hustle? can Troy replicate what Tamayo and Baltazar did during their short tenure? I would rather have Go and Geo who knows to position themselves than having Junemar, who is slow and a horrible defender. Chook-to-Go 2.0 na naman ito.

good luck on getting romeo and abueva from other empire where that empire hates chot and we know the history about lending players

[kukikups]

Hayyy, another round with the Reyes father-son tandem. For all the "good things" they've done I still don't think this should be the direction the program should go. I hope Coach Tab still has a say as program director for gilas, since I don't think the father-son tandem developed players during their helm at the program. Malas lang ng UAAP schools di pa sila makakatakas sa Tab era ng Ateneo hehe.

So that "unifying coach" thingy is all for naught if that is the goal. Pendejos.

Its not like Tab was great at keeping players, he lost both Dwight and Heading while Bulanadi and Suerte want out.

Chot underachieve in 2007, pinaki alaman si toroman nung 2011, he was successful in 2013 and good perfomance nung 2014 world cup, disaster result in 2014 asian games nagshoot pa sa kalaban.... Tab successful stint in 2015 despite having old players, good performance naman nung OQT despite that nakabalik parin si chot... 2017 another disaster performance last asian cup... Good performance naman nung fiba world cup qualifiers but brawl happened which he failed to control his players. Tab is doing well with our young players we beat sokor twice with college players! We are doing good the program is set then this happen again chot is back again lintikkkkkkkkkkkk paano nangyari yan despite so many mistake in the past?

[DenzelGreat8]

Let’s see.. he’s a loyal soldier of chot.. same as abueva… I’m disappointed because as a tnt fan, I hope that sbp/mvp didn’t change personnel because tnt needs chot.. now tnt will back in square one

Robert set aside mo muna yang TNT, Gilas and National interest is most important in here

Also, no need for Abueva for fock sake

[IPC]

Anyways, it's done. I just posted this in an FB comment section:

"Pambihira, but yeah, sige. However, I hope Chot learned his lessons and rectified mistakes in international ball. A few things sana:

1. Focus on defense. That's how we beat SoKor.

2. Don't change the offensive system that Tab had (na may dribble-drive elements, pero kayang mag-counter sa sona via ball movement). The assistants should teach Chot, not Chot forcing his system.

3. No 6'1"-6'3" players at the 3, unless si Thirdy, tapos ganun din ang size ng opposing 3. Otherwise, general rule should be Navarro, Oftana, Dwight, Baltazar, Tamayo at 3. Hindi small-ball ang 3-guard lineups.

4. Continue developing the kids for the WC windows. PBA players should be there only for the FIBA Asia Cup and the WC proper.

5. Prepare at least two months before the FIBA Asia Cup and the WC."

I really hope Chot follows my suggestions, kahit malabo.

Again, I really hope Chot follows this plan. Otherwise, we're fucked. Not just now, but for the future.

So kai will get Dray's role. Screen setter then pop, wait for kickout pass, then fake and drive. Look for outside open shooters to pass or shoot the ball. The other big man will wait for drop pass.

I’m actually curious to see how Chot will use Kai as the centerpiece on his offense ala Dray role, this is interesting to say the least
