Team Pilipinas Basketball

Easier said than done. I think Chot lobbied for this job coz if he didn't, it would still be Toroman. I don't see any reason why Toroman should be replaced. Why fix something that ain't broke? It was an Atenista doing a fellow alumnus a favor.

 

 

so it must be the same reason and qualification why rico villanueva is in the wish list of chot reyes.

Well, they always look fro people they can work well with. Coach Chot was that person

And of course MVP gave in to Coach Chot's prudding coz both are loyal supporters of our alma mater. But in fairness, they based everything on qualifications

and why would MVP get someone from UP and DLSU when Ateneo is the best for him? And also the best currently?

Javale Mcgee, will you be ours?

Chot Reyes already blurted it out more than a month ago that he and MVP talked to McGee's agent concerning the possibility of playing for the Philippines (for a considerable sum of course) as an import of the national team. the agent gave his initial approval pending the final "yes" of McGee himself. Chot would have wanted to sign up Dwight Howard if the latter were free. But that's not possible coz Howard already played for the US team before.

JaVale McGee will soon be playing for Smart Gilas as a dual Fil-Am citizen. Rep. Robbie Puno of Rizal's 1st district, the same guy who sponsored Doubhit, just filed a house bill that will seek the granting of Filipino citizenship to McGee just like what happened to Doubhit before. Most likely it will be approved immediately at the committee level then for the 3rd reading just in time for the next games of the Gilas team. Thanks to the effort of all concerned.

Am no Chot Reyes fan, methinks he'll be in for a rude awakening...

[SaintPeter5858]

Are you convinced about the 5 new players being added to the team?
