2023 FIBA Asia u16 Championship

[Metta]

James Sanderson (15 yr old, 6'2 pg) has obtained his PH passport. The filam already has 5 D1 offers including one from Arizona State.

I have a feeling he has a high likelihood of growing much taller hence the D1 buzz. For reference, he is generating far more interest than Caelum Harris at the same age.

If I'm SBP I will let Delta Pineda takeover the U16 and U18 because he has a lot money to spend....if you watch the MPBL JUNIORS his team dominating the league and he develop good and tall players.... if you watch his under 14 team you will see a tall and good players. One player on his under 14 team name Guinto his about 6'3 to 6'4

Take a look at Delta Pineda's U16 team, they have a very tall PG Kenji Moral, and he dishes a lot of assists per game

Wow. It didnt look like it at the start but we won. Thanks to defense and superb scoring from Alas.

Buti meron tayong Alas. (Good thing we have an ace)

no more japan envy and reyes hate?

if this team somehow gets past australia it will be a sad day for all the resident sbp and reyes coaching family haters here

Man! I am really happy…that defense they showed us in their bounce-back game is paying dividends! These kids have a lot of grit and fight in them. We are decided underdogs against the aussies BUT…stranger things have happened. At any rate, if we get a great shooting night and keep the score close, maybe down by less than 10 in the 4Q…well, I’d say the crowd can tip the scales a little bit in our favor. Fingers and toes crossed!

Criticism of coaches is fair but ive deleted my fair share of death wishes to Chot and Al so you can see why I prefer to remind people that the stakes in basketball is low.

Tab I obviously have my issues with but unlike some haters I do acknowledge his contributions to PH basketball. Now I disagree heavily that he can save PH basketball and I dislike him as a person but this is the U16 thread so Ill leave it at that.

Here's my take:

Even the most critical posters here on Chot Reyes acknowledge Chot's contribution to Gilas - 2012 Jones Cup title, 2013 FIBA Asia Championship silver medal, 2014 World Cup "moral" victories.

It's just that Chot hasn't delivered the goods since then & he has been "kapit-tuko" to the position as Gilas head coach despite almost every Pinoy basketball fans wanting him out of Gilas, that most posters here are critical to Chot.

Now that's just being fair & objective. It's seeing it exactly as it is.

Now for someone here to say that Tab Baldwin has done nothing good to Phi basketball despite leading Gilas to silver medal finish in 2015 FIBA Asia Championship (despite not having a No. of PBA marque players), beating long time Phi basketball tormentor South Korea twice in 2021 & losing a close match vs. world powerhouse Serbia in 2021, then that's absolutely a biased, unobjective, irrational & stupid take.

it's nothing but a pure hate on Tab.

Exactly and it really is troubling to see that a certain individual is allowed to berate others after being called out for his hatred on Baldwin. The criticisms of Choke are fair since its all about his inablitly to adapt to the modern game and lack of in game adjustments but the other guy just spews non sense and insults others and his posts are left up lol

Sir Sikatrix is more level-headed and has more sound opinions. I don't think that's a Sikatrix alternick, if he has one.

People who complain are often those called out for there behaviour. Reality of being a mod. Many people hold grudges for strikes due to past behaviour.

[r1ck]

How can Tab even hold the SBP hostage? Much like how MVP is/was the true decision maker, Tab is just a coach and doesn't have the power.

LOL tell that to Kaireem

How did Baldwin hold the SBP hostage sikatrix?

There is more than one mod here and he can check IP addresses easily. I dont you alts and if you want to proven as a conspiracy nut go ahead.

And wasnt it Chot Reyes who was exposed of usurping Rajko Toroman as the head coach of Gilas 1 and used his influence to get his son who had zero credentials a head coaching job in batang gilas and as an assistant in the seniors team? And despite numerous embarassments to the national team (Australia brawl, losing to Indonesia in the SEA games, shameful own basket in the Asian games, losing to Japan after more than a decade, failing to make the quarterfinals after 2 decades in the last fiba asia cup etc) he refused to resign LOL. So who was the one that actually hi jacked the Gilas program I wonder.

oh so now you're a shrink eh?

If that's your narrative taken as a objective matter of fact ( we all have our differences in opinion) then it speaks for itself what your thoughts are , which of course you are entitled to . At least your not pretending what you think, it's clearly articulated

oh so now you're a shrink eh?

[DAdmiral]

tab hate? so being objective is hating already? the records and facts speak for itself, tab has done nothing for the national team program and he even jeopardized it by holding sbp hostage - end of story
