Team Pilipinas Basketball

i agree on this. as between one rich with international experience and the winningest coach in the pba, i'd still prefer the former to handle team pilipinas.

Yes, chief, experience is the best teacher. Tab led New Zealand to the Final Four in the 2002 FIBA-Worlds. New Zealand isn't exactly a world beater in international basketball but they made the semis and I attribute this to the coaching genius of Tab. I mean we had a vastly inferior team in the 2015 FIBA-Asia compared to the 2013 FIBA-Asia, yet, we won the silver and if not for the "Lutong Macau", we could have taken home gold. I also attribute that 2015 silver to the coaching genius of Tab.

My hats off to Yeng. I hope Tab or whoever is the coach (huwag lang si Chot) taps you as one of his assistant coaches.

 

Coach Yeng was a man of his word. Because of his resignation, the naysayers of the program have stopped talking about the mistakes that were made or the players they felt didn't deserve to be included in the lineup. Guiao took full responsibility even if the burden was not his to bear alone.

 

Aside from helping put the Australia debacle behind, the most important contribution that Guiao made was an investment for the future. When the chips were down, instead of going to veteran players he was familiar with, he chose two PBA rookies who were largely unproven on the international stage. He invited Robert Bolick and CJ Perez into the pool and gave them the opportunity to shine.

 

When 2023 comes around and Bolick and Perez end up being vital cogs to the Philippine national team, may it be remembered that it was Guiao who gave them their first shot and that the losses they suffered together made the two hungrier for success.

 

Guiao planted roots and now he steps aside to give someone else the opportunity to grow the Gilas Pilipinas program and help it reach heights it has not seen before.

In terms of heights in international basketball, it will be hard for Gilas to replicate what Caloy Loyzaga and company did in the 1954 FIBA-Worlds: win a bronze medal. No Asian or Oceania team has ever achieved that, let alone surpass it, since that time. Yeng is not cut out to coach in the international arena but he is a class act.

I hate to say this but the loss of USA to France was the fault of players from my team, Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart. Smart missed four free throws in the homestretch while Kemba missed two free throws that could have reduced the lead to three and all they needed was a defensive stop since there were 42 seconds left in order to have a last shot. The USA looked good but they choked under pressure. There was no ball movement in the final five minutes for the US and Kemba tried to will his team to win via daredevil drives, a couple of which were blocked by Rudy Gobert. This has been a disappointment for the US as it has been a disappointment to us.

 

Did US send their D-Team?
