Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[Artek]

Choke Reyes and Al Panlilio are worse than Yeng Guiao

At least Yeng Guiao owned up to the poor performance in the WC and resigned while Choke Reyes and Panilio aren't embarassed that they lost to Indonesia and almost lost to Thailand in the lowly SEA Games with a good number of PBA player.

Their denseness is unbelievable.

I think Chot will never resign and only a firing will suffice. My guess is its a matter of principle to him. Never turn your back to the country.

Ousting Al Panlilio from SBP is almost as crucial as ousting Choke Reyes as Gilas head coach. Philippine basketball doesn't need termites in its house. I hope both these termites will be eliminated soon.

the next question there is, if we remove Al and eventually CCR, will the replacement have enough time to revamp his team(management), and hit the ground running enough to have a formidable, well trained team by next year?

that switch last Feb was really really damaging. if you remove people before August window, is there time to build a team to send? if you remove after the window, where will they get players since college and PBA would be ongoing? any new leadership would have to talk to all stakeholders including the groups outside the country. if they replace Al with another PBA personality, will that person retain everything and just be a new face? too many questions and all needs some time t be answered. bad trip tlaga.

Is MVP still has power to ask them(either Chot of Al P) to step down in their post?

As much as we want both Chot and Panlilio to go its more complicated than that since Al also runs (and heads) some of the MVP corp. Panlilio has all the trust and confidence of MVP to put it simply. For them its a minor setback, something that can be fixed by throwing more funds (thus the Clakrson & Kai assurances) they figured all fans want to see is a semblance of success and star power and they'll give them exactly that. Imagine us winning all games on the next window against west asian countries convincingly with Kai & JC along with the newly eligibles in tow then all will be forgiven. They know exactly how to handle the mob as they say

He had the balls to step down after the 2018 brawl. So maybe another would do the trick? /s

Honestly, why do I get GarPax Bulls vibes or Kings vibes from this current SBP direction?

I hope I'm wrong, though.

Four and a half months later, I still get this feeling from SBP management as to the direction of the men's team.

I get Knicks/Dolan vibes, overspending for mediocrity

Let's say for argument sake we win over Lebanon in 4th window cause of the brilliance of Clarkson (hugot import) and new PBA hugots

It begs the question, then what was all cohesion development from 2020 to 2022 July for , ? ( Two and half years of fooling around with no whatsoever value for 2023), what kind of program is that? That's basically buying wins to be honest.

When one is incapable of leading, and they recognize it, it's best to step down and that's the "malasakit" one can give

[sroth3839]

A big victory of Gilas over Lebanon at Beirut will erase all of big losses that Chot & SBP did this year... Imagine we beat the reigning silver medalist of recently concluded FIBA Asia? Dagdag Pogi points sa kanila yun.... Parang sinabi na din that we have a chance to get a medal if all of needed players are available...

That’s not really a victory. More of a saving face tactic.

What's funny is that, apparently, CCR offered to "resign" to SBP after SEA games but SBP rejected it. Al then said that CCR was commendable and how the problems were Tab's fault and how CCR did not turn his back on his country. Panlilio maybe a good Business executive for MVP but he has no business running a Basketbal Federation. Can't believe that he put his friend/family chot and his pamangkin josh as Coaches in our National program. I hope in August 1 the majority of players in the meeting will call for his and Chot's head. Of course, fat chance but how i wish that would happen.

SBP bought their seat in WC 2023 at a
cost of over a biilion peso, do
you really believe they would think twice buying a couple of wins this window and consider development?They probably have two plans, first is to get those wins this window w/ Kai & JC to please the fans and take off some of that heat they're getting and secondly would be to drag our way to WC 2023 and minimize cost by letting SMC join the fray..the program is obviously far fom being ideal and they cant wait for their commitment to end and for SMc to takeover

It will be interesting to see what SMC will do if they indeed takeover. Let's hope they will have the NCC approach or at least give their PBA players a long prep for FIBA tourneys.

NCC approach was with Danding. Much more open-minded than the current SMC sports head, who's Boss Chua.

Id say expect more quality NPs candidates? and more ineligibles getting their passports at 9-12 years old Lol (Gray, B.Rosser, Munzon)
