    Expect some clarity from Quinito Henson in a few days. My bet is that Tyler Harris had obtained Qatari citizenship prior to his 16th birthday, at least yun ang ipalabas ng mga Qatatis.

    But come to think about it, Qatar with 2 world imports in Harris & Mike Lewis could only beat India by 16 pts. Qatar led at half by only 5 pts & led by 11 pts going into the 4th quarter.

    Qatar player 6-foot-11 Alen Hadzibegovic, who is of Montenegro descent, did not play in this game. Hadzibegovic used to play in Russia's div. 1 Pro league where he registered impressive stats.
    But Hadzibegovic is obviously a recruit by Qatar in his teens so we can say that he is a local under FIBA. But Harris and Lewis are obviously world imports.

      Yes, Hadzibegovic obtained Qatari passport prior to his 16th bday so he is considered by FIBA as a local player. He first represented Qatar in the 2017 FIBA Workd 3x3 U-18 Championship where Qatar won the gold medal. He has yet to play for Qatar in a 5 on 5 game.

Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

        That's on FIBA.

        If the country is really unstable, they should just change the venue to a neutral one.

        I still don't get why FIBA doesn't understand Tehran isn't a stable place.
        Because they are stupid.. money matters for them.. they can't even stop Qatar by hiring multiple naturalized citizen in their team..

          They should have gone to stream the India and Qatar. Looks like Qatar is having their 2000's​​​​ team vibe out there.

          Seriously, how Qatar was able to play two naturalized players at the same time? Harris and Lewis are obviously naturalized players. I did not include other Afro-Qataris and Euro-Qataris since I assume that they did able to secure Qatari passports before reaching 16 years old. Even the OS Basket, a Jordanian basketball page, was able to notice it.
          Many countries notice it.. even in Korean, Chinese and Japanese basketball sites posted it in their social media sites.. maybe now this team are not that good.. but I'm sure they have more players they can hired easily and make it a local player.. they also have 2 more Americans waiting in their pipeline.. don't be surprise in 2027, maybe half of their roster are Americans.. this is stupidity at its finest.. they can't allow our most of our fil foreign players to play as local even thou they are Filipinos by blood but this Qatari team easily put 2 Americans together even 1 NP is only allowed... Harris and Lewis only got their passports this year.. neither do residency for years to get exemption...

            We are not fool.. Tyler Harris just enter Qatar by 2023 only.. played numerous leagues in Argentina, Russia, Romania, etc... he just got his passport this year and only allowed as naturalized player.. born in St Louis and raised in US.. Qatar thinks no one will notice this.. FIBA meanwhile, like FIFA they are corrupt and want that oil money from Qatar...

                • How is Qatar able to circumnavigate the Hagop rule, a rule that was supposed to target them? And FIBA is just turning a blind eye to Qatar's obvious tactics?

                      In terms of transparency and fairness to the tournament, yes they are stupid.. last decade they target them due to hiring non Qataris and propose the Hagop rule to prevent this situation and now they are the ones who allow them to put multiple imports to Qatar.. what's the sense of Hagop rule in the first place?

                      • Qatar fielding in two illegals and they think the world wouldn't notice? I don't expect much from a country that basically practices modern slavery.

                          Yes, that Hadzibegovic guy is really very good. As I've said, he had impressive stats in div. 1 Russian pro league. We know how competitive Russia's div. 1 league is.

                          • acting like pinoys will not send a team full of illegals if they have a fiba official on a payroll. You will see Mo Tautuaa, Mike Phillips, Mikey Williams, Ange Kouame, Justine Brownlee, Jordan Clarkson and a bunch of full blooded Chinese on the same roster for a decade at least if pinoys run fiba

                            • Poor India... A team who is always perennial participant in every Fiba Asia cup will likely not qualify in their group.. A team that has potential to be powerhouse team but suffering numerous challenges and financial struggles due to little support by their government (India is all cricket and nothing else).. Since 1999, they are always qualified to FIBA Asia cup.. but this is the purpose of this new format.. only best teams will enter the tournament and weak teams will be out.. Hong Kong was the first one who were out last 2022 after always qualified since the inauguration of the event... India was always benefiting easy qualification in the region where basketball is a niche sport.. teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka are not hook with basketball too... Now they feeling the effects of new format.. if you are weak then you are not deserve to be here...

                              • SBP should file a protest to FIBA regarding Qatar's practice of converting world import player into Qatari local player even if such player has not obtained Qatari passport prior to his 16th birthday. What Qatar is doing is a mockery of FIBA rules. It has to be stopped.

                                FIBA obviously is favoring Qatar being the host of the 2027 World Cup.
