Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[IPC]

NCC was properly handled and that time they really know the importance of foregn coach. Chua is a scary monster from smc, he is not aware of modern international basketball, he is more of a PR person, and he does not have good relationship with Coach tab. Chua is very critical against foreign coach in national team ,he is a bcap supporter who is anti foreign coach and consultant, and what scares me is he will assign one dimentional coaching Austria as one of the coach, mister asa kay Kraken.

To much politics, and nepotism that is why we are not getting a blessing of a win. SBP needs to learn from there mistakes or else the worse monster SMC will come out.

I dont think SMC is necessarily worse. The solution to the woes of philippine basketball will always involve more funding.

SMC may have the funding, but are they willing to invest it in grassroots development, training players for their international positions? Can they use it to hire a foreign mentor to our good local coaches, to prepare them for the international game? This is a different SMC from the one before, when Danding hired Ron Jacobs, and under Kume Eala, SMB got Rajko Toroman as a consultant. This is Boss Al we're talking about.

Because, based on track record compared to Ateneo and even Beda, development in Letran (which is SMC-sponsored) isn't exactly the best for international ball. I mean, Letran has had just Abando and Ambohot as potential FIBA-fit players, while Ateneo has produced Dwight Ramos, Thirdy Ravena, Will Navarro, and Ange Kouame. Beda has produced Robert Bolick and Calvin Oftana. That's the development aspect.

Plus, Boss Al isn't known to like foreign coaches, and lashed out at Tab for the "tactical immaturity" comments. Yes, there's Chito Victolero, who's the SMC coach most fit for the international game, but his tactics may need refinement for FIBA, and a good foreign head coach as a mentor can help with that.

Given that history, are they willing to invest their funds and time in grassroots development? Are they willing to use it to hire a reputed foreigner to serve as mentor to our good local coaches, someone as successful as at least a Nenad Vučinić?

That's the reason why we have reservations about SMC managing SBP. They have a lot of questions to answer, and a lot to prove.

And this is not just mens team.. They have to manage womens team and our youth team, and even our 3x3 teams... Look at PBA 3X3, SMC teams are not dominant there, I think only SMB and Purefoods won 1 Leg championship since the start of 3x3 tournament.. in PBA 3X3, TNT, Meralco and Limitless are dominating there... They really don't care on their 3x3 teams, basta may participation lang then that's OK for them.. I don't want that....

I don't think they give a crap about the women's team in all levels. Even when the MVP group was managing the women's team, almost all of it is from the efforts of coach Pat Aquino.

MVP will resign after next year's world cup.

Very much agree bro. Danding is very very different from Ramon S. Ang.

the best scenario is Tab doing an Abueva and joining the SMC camp with full backing of the Anal Mafia. Tab's coaching excellence, the manipulative ways of Chua, and SMC funding can be a lethal combination in Asia.

Remember how Chua and Abueva hated each other when they were opponents? Now, they are on the same side and I think Abueva will retire as an SMC asset.

So far, we look better defensively than SEA games.

we're missing jordan heading's shooting

[Jupitersa]

Great first few minutes by Quiambao. Decent one hander off a mid range and high motor grabbing offensive rebounds.

[paolylo]

This is ridiculous... Geo Chiu and Kevin Quiambao making Ratliffe look like crap.

[IPC]

Carl's playing bad so far. Just 1-5 or 1-6. Some of those misses were open. Hope he makes them later on.

Quite maganda tignan talaga pag set plays but should be may organized chaos padin

And we are either causing chaos on defense, or the Koreans are gigil, or both.

Great first few minutes by Quiambao. Decent one hander off a mid range and high motor grabbing offensive rebounds.

This team's core (Coach Nenad's rotation probably) looks a lot more athletic than our horrific sea games team, Quiambao looks tough inside and really has good motor, Tamayo is solid especially in fiba and Chiu looks more mobile today from what I remember last uaap finals (or it is just me lol) Abando hopefully can at least replicate a fraction of Headings shooting if not at his level yet but he is evidently a more athletic alternative already.

Abando is hauling ass.
