Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[IPC]

Here's a Karlo Lovenia piece on the Tab resignation: https://karlolovenia.medium.com/why-...e-ff75ab487dcb

He mentioned two integral parts of Tab's plan for Gilas:

1. Hone and develop players for the international game
2. Build a foundation for the national team in the future

I hope we keep these two parts in mind, even after Tab is gone from the program. Keep them in minds ESPECIALLY FOR THE FOLLOWING WINDOWS. Choose and develop players to be fit for the international game, and use them as foundation. Hope we can keep the defensive foundation that Tab laid down.

I guess. We have alternation, instead of continuity.

Gilas 1 - Rajko's Military System + Eurostyle

Gilas 2 - DDO

2015 Gilas - Coach Tab's Swing System

Gilas Brawl Version - Back to Coach Chot DDO

2019 Gilas - Coach Yeng's Free Flow system: (Diskarte mo, basta ITIRA mo dapat pag libre ka system)

2021 Gilas - Coach Tab Swing Offense/Defense

2022 - Back to Coach Chot DDO

LMAO.

Phil Basketball have no identity yet because there are no continuity.

We go american style them european style, then back again. Cycle continuous

Gilas 2 and 2015 also had good defense. In Gilas 2, Tab was an assistant, and probably served as Chot's defensive coordinator. 2015 Gilas, we know Tab became head coach, and we defended well the entire tournament, even in that final.

Well, Chot has gotten TNT to play good defense. Let's see if he can translate that in these windows and in the Asian Cup and WC.

[Stevy]

Maybe we'll get something from Chino Trinidad, who posted a Zoom meeting between him and Tab in Facebook this morning.

Well sooner or later, we will hear his side of the story. It will be interesting for sure. Thanks.

How could the PBA do that? MVP is the decision maker here.

Well, MVP can still be influenced. SBP isn't a dictatorship. Aside from Ricky Vargas's role as VP of SBP, he is also a PBA chairman and TNT Tropang Giga governor. Ricky is obviously against players playing oversees based on his rhetoric.

By the way SBP's board of trustees includes PBA commissioner Willie Marcial, Terrafirma governor Bobby Rosales, and Alaska governor Dickie Bachman. PBA has a lot of pull even in the SBP. Of course, just speculation on my part. Eventually the truth will come out one way or another, we all know that for now the stories don't add up. At least Coach Chot is doing his best despite everything.

Moves to make Clarkson a local: https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/m...r-gilas/230999

Hmm, I dunno what to think of this. He fits in Chot's 3-guard system for sure. Would be a huge get if ever, kahit napaka-unlikely. Adds more talent to the team.

Who was the coach of the most successful Gilas version? Who brought us back to the World Cup? In fairness...

The defense was organized at the time too, fron 2013-2016. We defended the shots of SoKor, Lebanon, and Iran, we won not just through offensive brilliance of Castro, Blatche, Terrence, etc. Once the defense disappeared, that's when we fell off and suffered the blowout losses to SoKor, and to Lebanon as well. Point is, defense is the key to helping us remain competitive in the international stage.

And looks like Chot has realized the value of defense, applying it with TNT. They're rotating hard to shooters and cutting off driving lanes. I hope he can translate that to the FIBA level.

I lost count already as to how many times this news has come out in the past. I hope this time it comes into fruition. Clarkson is a player that has seen all kinds of defense and defenders and scores against each one of them. Definitely would elevate Gilas a notch or two if complemented with the right pieces.

Chot’s bucket list: Erik Spoelstra as Gilas foreign consultant
https://www.spin.ph/basketball/chot-...e_featured_big

What do you guys think of this? Personally I think he just want this so that he can have a bigger exposure for his pabida/puso drama coaching style.

I hope this materializes as we need new inputs to upgrade Chot's DDO. LOL. Besides, it would be nice to have both European (thru Nenad) and American flavors in a Filipno dish.

I hope its not just a PR move by Chot

I hope its not just a PR move by Chot

in 2014, he tapped 2 or 3 foreign consultants to help him in specific games (tab included).

he loves d hype. but he's not shy to look for help from others.

Actually it feels like hype to me. This is what I dont like about Chot. Sometimes you dont know if your talking to a coach or a marketing person. I prefer he minimizes his marketing tendencies when his role is a coach.

Chot is the most accomplished, while tab is the most impressive.

Chot had the benefit of full training camps, homecourt advantage and the Philippines taken lightly in the 2014 World Cup + nba shape Blatche.

Tab had aging players, role players and a cba version of blatche and led the team to a 2nd place finish in the fiba Asia games. He coached gilas to competitive games vs France and NZ. For this last program, he led gilas college players to almost win against Serbia, which featured 2 nba players.

Both did a good job, it just sucks that continuity is never achieved with politics and vested interest in the way

Getting consultants actually covers for his deficiencies. The marketing guys always need technical guys in the background. Chot knows he cannot bullsh*t his way to winning high-level FIBA games.
