Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

Clint Escamis over Dalph Panopio or Robert Bolick?

Yeah Escamis is an assistman like Panopio who is based in the states so i would take Escamis who has upside in blocking and defending. Abarrientos is a 3-pt shooter like Bolick but he is with the PBA and has baggage, we don't want that negative energy on the team because of karma.

Just in! According to Siomay Sayson Gilas coaching job was offered back to CTB but he'll only consider it if some personnel changes will be made to SBP.

Yep, aside from this, I really wonder who made him resign? An IBN poster here said it was Al and RG. Snow a day ago said that he's 100 percent sure it's not Al. Who's calling the shots really? SBP is a damn mess. Tsk tsk!

Until either side discloses anything, we can only speculate.

I would say it had to do with the exodus of young talents to the B. League and other foreign leagues. The PBA has always viewed Tab negatively, so they pressured the SBP to “undo” everything by making themselves relevant again. Everything goes back to the PBA. They have been the troublemakers of any NT program as far back as the NCC days.

Not sure I should buy the angle that the SBP wants a Filipino coach to call the shots in the world. Sounds weak IMO.

It never ends!

I'm shocked! That its not 10/10. Did they interviewed his mother?

Hehe. Does it have to do with Al and RG?

[Silent Killer]

The one who over react? Yep that AL guy..

[bluenote49]

I don't know but based on the tweet it implies the CTB is cautious about the job because of the backstabbing that happened to him. I would like to think that this person is someone he trusted and then betrayed him.

They reached out to Tab as per spin.ph folks. Not sure how that is developing.

Are they really sincere or is it because CCR doesn't really know how to coach a bunch of up and comers as the pros are mostly unavailable by that time?

Someone here once commented that they've been trying to set CTB up for failure and if that is indeed the case, then the timing of the offer is a bit sus. It's like when there are no pros available, they'll just use CTB. If he wins, they win. If he loses, they still win because it kind of proves their point that foreign coaches are just as fallible and justifies the appointment of a pinoy coach in the WC for next year. Personally, I would want to see how CCR & co. handle a mostly amateur unit, for educational purposes.

Probably this. They kinda know themselves that were going to lose big with Chot anyway so now they'll try to drag down Tab with him and shut up their haters. 2023 IMO is a lost cause already with how they f#cked up everything. There is no recovering from all the things they have done. We're going to get humiliated the only question is who would be foolish enough to volunteer to have their careers tarnished. I pity the players though cause I know they going to get bashed hard next year for things that are out of their control

Does this explain why they wanna bring in Tab without a long-term program?

If so, that's a shame. Back to band-aid solutions and stagnation, unless we can get someone who has the respect of all stakeholders, enough of it to actually implement the changes needed in the SBP and the NT programs.

Tab's team could have been a foundation for a long-term program for Gilas. One that develops players for FIBA play and maybe overseas careers, has a system fit for FIBA ball, and trains coaches to coach that specific system and gives them pointers in player development.

Probably one of those "purong pinoy" advocates; the type of person who wants all teams in the country to be made up of just local homegrown Filipinos.

The 10th coach interviewed was probably himself.. or his son.

[dubidub]

Kai and AJ are not always available.. w/o them who will be our big man? Junmar is not your prototype FIBA starting center... he was outplayed by Bolden last time..

Ange would be the backup.

My updated Gilas 12:
PG Dwight Ramos 6'5"
PG RJ Abarrientos 6'0"
PG Clint Escamis 6'0"
SG Jordan Heading 6'3"
SG Thirdy Ravena 6'4"
SF Dave Ildefonso 6'6"
SF Francis Lopez 6'6"
PF Justine Baltazar 6'9"
PF Carl Tamayo 6'9"
PF AJ Edu 6'11"
C Kai Sotto 7'4"
C Ange Koaume 6'11"

What's with padding Kai's height?Quinito Henson version,instead of 7'2,he thinks Kai is maybe 7'4 or closer to 7'5,by next month he's 7'6.Thirdy at most is 6'3 round up from 6'2 1/2.

Just subtract 1 inch to get their height with shoes on or 2 inches to get the height w/o shoes.

[mathematicianrcg]

I always want players height to be barefooted. So, I always think Kai as 7'2 (barefoot)

I am one of the biggest Kai fans here. But I am sure Kai is not 7'4 barefoot. Maybe with shoes, he could be like 7'3 and something, where quinito round up to 7'4.
