Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

Yes Tab is like that, everything he says has to be within context and actually has a purpose of why he is saying it.

Do not really make too much of a fuss like make a headline of anything he says , or use it as a point or basis to argue anything.
Like if he says Baltazar is a wing , cmon do not for once think he will be playing like LeBron lol

He's learning though to be careful, he told me , the Philippine media isn't really the.best on how they report things, and we both laughed..
And this was when we were discussing a player everyone was so excited about .
Anyway advice let's not put too much weight on some of the trivial fun discussion stuff Tab talks about

[interxavierxxx]

Well, today's Paul Lee is in great shape.. I would want him again on gilas because he's like bigger togashi for me... He's not afraid even his defender are bigger than him.. I like him more than Romeo...

We already have a surplus of guards so I don’t think it’s possible, especially now that our strategy is to avoid recruiting PBA players.

I’d include Romeo in the pool but honestly don’t like his cocky attitude nowadays.

[neo]

Wait are we making a fuss out of nothing
That was like a speed fantasy question. Not a well thought real situation scenario, when Tab answered.

In a similar situation I asked him all time NBA team.
And he went if I recall right

Curry
Jordan
Kobe
Bird
Russell

Now anyone can criticize that list , and say Curry can't pass or Russell is nothing to a.modern center. But that's not at all the context he gave the fast quick answer

because d talk about citizenship has become too repetitive and boring already

1 month before d actual games (hopefully)

The topic is also jumping from one thread to another.

But in summary case for change of FIBA eligibility rules is dead, no federation is really dialoguing with FIBA to change rules, the discussions which there are , are limited to ;
Getting exceptions for certain players
And
Potentially using other documents other than passport as basis of confirmation of citizenship before 16 years old

[Silent Killer]

in short, work around the rule like all countries not crying on the rule..

My take in it is this. Ok, hagop rules will be there for years.

But I think one thing that must be address is the

standardized and consistent basis for Exceptions.

It looks like Every player have different criterias and basis in getting an exception e.

I think that will lessen the complains.

Any takers? Who do you think should be the permanent coach moving forward to 2023?

[DAdmiral]

For just the 2023 WC , Tab,
After and before Jong

[Sikatrix]

The program is being shaped according to the whims of Coach Tab. Why isnt he the permanent coach?

Politics

Kapag sya ang HC, the SMC group in the PBA board will make it difficult to lend players from their camp. Not that we need that many SMC players but we can't take chances.

We need all parties on the same page in order to get the most out of our preparations for the WC.

I hope they are looking for a european coach or a european style coach.

But I have no problem if Coach Tab will be

The head coach.

Mahirap kasi when Players are already familiar with coach tab system, the new coach will implement his own system.

Coach Jong may also be the dummy coach in 2023 WC for Coach tab.

Look at previous windows, Coach Dickel and Coach Uichico are the head coaches. But Coach tab mostly gets the credit

[reamily]

Dahil wala pang uaap, susulitin na si tab, sa gilas na lang siya muna, the only reason he cant coach the windows is his ateneo commitments eh wala ngayon,even in 2023 kahit mag give way ang uaap, syempre his presence in ateneo is needed unless he will left the job and turn over it to sandy or dickel..
