Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[IPC]

Well, what about the pool of B-league & KBL players (if PBA players won't be available) like Kai, Dwight Ramos, Thirdy, RJ Abarrientos, Carl Tamayo, SJ Belangel, & maybe a Kouame if he's available - these are the members of Gilas team/pool in 2021 under coach Tab in which Jong Uichico is one of the assistant coaches? Then of course we tap Jong Uichico as the head coach. This line up already has a built in cohesion.

Then we add college players Quiambao, Francis Lopez, CJ Cansino.

OK nga if we combine these guys with the Asiad core (Scottie, June Mar, Newsome, Perez, Oftana, Brownlee) into one big pool for future windows and tournaments. These guys are the best we have, might as well use combined strength.

Sir Rick,

with the way Magnolia is playing right now I think amongst the team of the other empire, they are deadset(?) of guiding(?) coach ToChikits to that podium finish. if the idea is to pass the baton to the bench tactician, I doubt if they will lend him for the upcoming window...

how about Coach Leo or Coach George well for me..never mind.

We will just have to wait and see who they tap as the coach, but I really think it would be some other coach and not Tim Cone. Jong Uichico being a lead assistant for so long in Gilas and currently not holding any head coaching position might be a strong candidate for that interim coaching spot for this window.

Not sold on Cansino at all, there is a reason why Coach Gold benches him the closing minutes in the finals. He isnt even that tall and skilled, Im even putting Alarcon over him as the better player.

Why is it even a question,Jong should always be the plug in HC whenever the HC is not around,he doesn't deviate from plans and schematics of the HC and the thing about Jong is when he design his offense and defense,ist always what type of players he has,sure there's a drawback on that but,you gotta work with what you got with a strong offense as possible.Plua the fact the Pinoy commentators will always mentioned Jong's pretty eyes whenever they have a closeups.

Sir Rick,

I agree on coach Jong...

but we all know CTC is the sentimental and obvious choice amongst the parokyanos..

let see..

And on the plus side, Jong can work with both PBA players and non-PBA guys. He has worked with the younger players in Japan and SoKor before, and he's a longtime PBA coach.

However, he did come off heart surgery in 2022.

I believed he's fully recovered,there were videos of him during practice explaining and running plays with the players and even participated in their halfcourt shots.

Erika Dy is the new SBP exec director, replacing Sonny Barrios.

Thoughts? Don’t know her at all.

[Sikatrix]

SMC rumors were greatly exaggerated?

[Joe Yabuki]

still not convinced Jong will be HC, mind you hes probably one of the best locally but dealing with personnel management coordination with stakeholders fans etc to be in the direct firing line instead of someone on the sides, I dont think Jong would want that in his condition

Played for Zobel in HS. She also has a US law degree and took master's there that is sports related. Corporate + basketball experience.

I think when she played, girls still didn't even get scholarships. Hopefully that makes her value and put emphasis on grassroots development and support.

[BJ_Reloaded]

I hope the new Executive Director must implement something that could benefit and improve our basketball landscape with a genuine grassroot program as well as convincing some stakeholders from the PBA and other entities to establish that much awaited 5v5 Womens Professional League in the country, being a former varsitarian itself, she must be aware where she came from.

I think less marketing/corporate vibes in promoting the sports in the country must be the agenda nowadays.
