Originally posted by yogaflame View PostI'm not in favor of SMC , they are more archaic and protectionism minded when it comes to international basketball and they hate foreign coach for national team and don't like contructive criticism just like what happened to Coach Tab when he was lambasted by Chua. SMC coaches and staffs systems works well in PBA setting but not on FIBA games which is more complicated. We will be back to dark age of basketball of its SMC. SMC does not have good credentials in fiba games lately, all teams handled smc in the past are not succesful on fiba competition except for NCC. Let it just be a non SMC or mvp team to handle the gilas for a change. Maybe chooks to go or Robinson or SM.
I dunno if Boss Al is as open to foreigners as Danding was.

This is an interesting point: https://twitter.com/arnoldterre/stat...3dgP4zwRuUhjEg
I forgot, SMC has Jimmy Alapag, who's an assistant coach for the Stockton Kings in the G-League. Maybe he has a few persepctives on NBA tactics and player development.

Originally posted by robert0326But that was before Al Chua promotion as Sports Director of SMC.... When he was hired as SD of SMC, they didn't renewed Toroman and Purves contract... And instead, they priority local coaches, due to connection of LH with BCAP, that is also organization that opposed hiring foreign coaches...
So, now, with the present quality of Filipino coaches, are there Filipino coaches that are competent, able and willing to perform as Gilas coach or PBA coach for that matter?

Originally posted by IPC View PostAnd the BCAP had a Supreme Court decision go in their favor when they had the Secretary of Labor and Employment cancel Tim Cone's alien employment permit. The ground for cancellation was that there was no showing that there is no person in the Philippines who is competent, able and willing to perform the services required nor that Cone's hiring would redound to the national interest.

Not really, it depends on who he is serving, what is sure that you want him to be on your side or he will treat his allies right
He serves on the liking of RSA, unlike Pogi who is a maverick Chua is your traditional yes guy, it might be a bad thing or a good thing..To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

imma wait how this unfolds. for all that LH has done, it was clearly to protect his interest or the interest of whatever team\organization is in. IF|ONCE he is part of SBP, then the narrative may change if only to help him when what he needs to do.i think he wont give up every stand he took, but im guessing he will give some lee ways specially if it would be advantageous to him.
still dont like him even if i never met him.WE DON'T COUNT YEARS, WE COUNT CENTURIES

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostHope Calvin Oftana gets a Gilas call up once again. I think Oftana is a better prospect at the small forward position than Kobe Paras. I can see Oftana's ball handling improving in his stint with NLEX, although in that game vs. SMB, naagawan sya while bringing down the ball. Well, its part of experience. I want to see Oftana's mettle in the Asian level.Originally posted by Rds View PostI would also like for Oftana to be back in the pool. Its good that Yeng lets him play in the perimeter and even bring up the ball at times. He also defends the perimeter at times I think.
Plus, it's good to have some more tall options at the wing.

Originally posted by IPC View PostOftana has been performing well with NLEX so far. I think he could use another Gilas call-up. Give him reps in the windows as a 3. I think he's kind of skilled at 3 so that Chot won't have to bring in another guard at that spot, and he can defend the perimeter.

I agree with most of you guys' sentiments about the very possible SMC takeover of SBP. It's kind of unthinkable for me too at this point, after all the roller coaster rides we had with MPIC-backed campaigns in the last 13 years. But I'm curious to see too how SMC would fare. And what's lost in all these, even if it's somewhat trivial, what's going to be the NT's nickname from then on? I see the Gilas monicker getting dropped as it's too associated with the rival empire. Suggestions, anyone?

Originally posted by Rds View PostSMC under Al Chua has a strong nativist streak. His asociation with BCAP and its opposition to foreign coaches. His rebuttal on Tabs comment. Kots Leo saying he doesnt like Asian imports because it takes away local slots. His tenure gives us a hint that he doesnt like foreign coaching and foreign influence to improve local basketball. Unfortunately, it seems RSA doesnt know much about basketball. He doesnt mind how Al does things as long as it gives his teams wins. Never mind the trades. Sagip kapatid, sagip ng farm team and egregiously biased calls, at least during SMBs streak, are ruining the league. RSA is not aware of that I think. But hopefully he knows international ball is a different animal. Al is an operator and people person at best. His coaching track record shows he is not that good. RSA should know he has to surround himself with international basketball experts if he is to take this on.sigpic
