Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[CoJ]

to be fair that "serviceable" is the most consistent contributor among all pinoy imports in d league, others have so called aiming to "dominate" at the expense of the team..

true, we can't discredit BRP's consistency, this is what I like about him, balanced player

[IPC]

Forgot to said this.

But last evening interview of Coach Chot.

There is one fan who asked about "He dont want to see 6'1-6'2 SF"

Coach Chot response:

"Why he is worried? Isnt Everybody plays smallball nowadays anyway? So why he is worried"

LMAO

BTW that wasn't a question to Chot LOL; it was my response to a YT fan with whom I was conversing. Spin for some reason took it as a question, but yes, Chot was kind of pissed HAHA.

we'll chot has a point, small ball is prevalent in FIBA and the NBA, but one key difference, our small is micro in Intl standards

Yep, exactly. Nothing wrong with small ball if we can get three players who are at least properly sized to maximize this philosophy. Not the dreadful 6'2-6'3 SFs of the past.

I'd be fine with the 3-guard lineup if Dwight or Thirdy could be the 3 instead of some guard like Pogoy. As for Dwight, 6'4" siya, so he already has the size to begin with. Thirdy on the other hand has length, strength, and athleticism to compensate for his being undersized for the position, and he's defended a few wing imports in the B.League like Allen Durham.

Tab was removed partly due to politics and a big portion is because he is antivaxed . Imagine all the international trips a NT coach has to go to but he cant cause of being anti-vaxxed lol. Tab might be a good coach but he's nut just look at his FB. Thirdy will also be going home within the next few days/weeks.

There are reports that Tab didn't want to coach during this window yet still wanted assurances to keep his program director and 2023 head coach titles and that it pissed some people off .... my problem with that is if there was any truth behind that repoprt wouldn't Tab be sacked from the Ateneo post too? unless of course MVP has no say on how Ateneo runs its basletball program despite all the money he is contributing to the program?

[Trae Yong]

Remember Al chua has bigger egos.. Si Aldin Ayo nga di nya kinuha eh, even that wala sila connection with Chua, eh si Tab pa kaya? Tab might leave the country for good...

LOL oh stop it Aldin Ayo is a joke, oh and Chua will take anyone in .... as long as that person follows his lead no questions asked

[reamily]

For me di he is always in autopilot mode, naka segunda palagi..its only in that bubble when he was reslly in 5th 6th gear.. especially during that phoenix series.. sa alab ganyan siya when balkman and brownlee are the imports

^ pwede rin naman, chua doesn't like abueva either but now abueva is playing in magnolia... we never know anything can happen. whatever it is i hope tab stay in the country sa Ateneo, MVP o SMC man i don't care he is good in developing players we need a coach like him in the country.

Chua is the typical Im your enemey if youre on other side but your best bud when Im your side..he is just protecting his boss interest at all cost

it was during Noli Eala's time that Toroman was taken in to SMC, but Eala now broadcasting in Radyo5

maybe it's time to side with SMC in this war hahaha. especially these MVP group corporate thugs invalidating a real development program for Philippine basketball

MVP is holding grudges despite the radyo 5 stint, they didnt draft eala boys camacho and chauca AND eala is working with chooks to go..Eala wants more clout. Chua just want job stability and security..

“Pinatawag ko siya, nag-usap kaming dalawa, sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Bata, dami mo ng napuntahang team, dami nang nangyari sa buhay mo. Tingin ko huli mo ng stop ‘to,'” Chua said on The Chasedown.

“Ayusin mo na ‘to. Na-prove mo na kaya mong ayusin. ‘Yung last conference, last bubble, maganda attitude mo, maganda nilaro mo. Kaya mo pala ng ganun. Pero nandoon pa rin laro mo. Ang dami mong napabilib,” Chua added.

looks like Long hair has a inner vince mcmahon side, willing to let bygones be bygones as long as you make him money

I'm a Ginebra fan, so it might be easier for me to side with the SMC group. However, I'd really back them in the SBP if they would be willing focus on development of younger players in addition to trying to win now.

Hiring Tab would be a step in that direction, and bring me closer to backing them. Plus, defensive identity.

Besides Reyes and Jong, are there other pinoy coaches who can be our future NT coach? One who can weather the storm between the SBP and PBA.

Yeng, Josh Reyes, Mike Oliver, and Ares have already tried but their systems are no different from Chot’s.

I want to give Chito a chance but he doesn’t have the FIBA experience.

Chito would need to be an assistant.

He's not Filipino, but Alex Compton would be a wild choice.
