00:03:36 coins with an agreement and they will be announcing this on Thursday. Any announcement will be made on Thursday and we will see if you have dirt or whatever it is in that agreement.
00:03:56 We have not yet sir but obviously that's for the Asian Games because they resigned or step aside the term that Coach Chotreyes called it. So anyway, let's introduce our guest because we have a surprise.
00:04:14 We have a meeting tonight. We want to know more about that meeting. So on the line right now, should we let him in sir?
00:04:27 PBA Commissioner Willie Marshall, we are with him live from wherever. Come. Good afternoon and welcome to SPIN.
00:04:41 Good afternoon to all three of you. Thank you for inviting me to your program. It's been 10 years since I was invited. Thank you very much.
00:04:54 Okay Com, let's get straight to the point. What happened last night in your meeting with SBP President Alfan Lilio?
00:05:05 You're right. The five of us had a meeting yesterday. We started at 6.30 and finished at 10. We were informed on what can happen, how the system will work,
00:05:24 what will happen to the players and coaches. I don't have the liberty to talk to you because they will go through the SBP. The SBP has a meeting this afternoon.
00:05:37 We will inform you on what we discussed. We have a board meeting on Thursday. We will inform the board on what the board can approve.
00:05:54 So we have a press con after our board meeting by 2 o'clock in the PBA office.
00:05:56 Com, is there a coach? What can you answer to that question? There are many questions.
00:06:05 We are looking for a coach. We are still discussing. By Thursday, we have a plan on who will coach, how the system will work, who will hold the teams.
00:06:19 So everything is on Thursday.
00:06:22 Okay. We have with us Sir Jerry Ramos, our colleague. Sir Dodo, you may have a question for Com.
00:06:33 Com, in the discussion you had, are you confident that whatever arrangement, it will give us a fighting chance and a medal in the Asian Games?
00:06:48 For me, whoever coach we send, whoever players we send, this is a fight. This team is a fight. So it's good.
00:07:03 For me, I think, because I still can't see our opponents, but if the lineup is good and the coaches are okay, this is a good fight. This is a good event, we will announce it on Thursday.
00:07:20 Oh, it looks like you're looking forward to it, right Jerry? It looks like you're looking forward to that plan considering that we're coming off the 1/4.
00:07:33 Jerry, what can you say? Did the coach say anything?
00:07:41 Com, good afternoon.
00:07:47 Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
00:07:48 I'm asking you. Maybe Bay Coach will handle the Gilas to the Asian Games.
00:07:59 I will answer you on Thursday. I will answer you on Thursday. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I've been saying that I have no liberty to say anything.
00:08:12 Because we will go through the process. We will say it's SPP and we will go through the board.
00:08:19 Com, I have a question. How big is the percentage of the World Cup team that you're looking to include?
00:08:29 In our opinion, it depends on the players. They have their own...
00:08:37 Com, I'm confused. Com. Com.
00:08:46 Com, nothing.
00:08:53 (Inaudible)
00:08:59 Dave Cookpok, something that would give the Gilas Filipinas a fighting chance in the Asian Games, right Ben?
00:09:08 Yes sir. At least they're talking. That's the good thing about it.
00:09:14 Our countrymen were talking about it yesterday when SBP President Al Panlino said that they will decide after the World Cup.
00:09:25 There are concerns. Apparently, there was a meeting last night. At least they're moving.
00:09:34 It seems like they're determined to form a competitive team for the Asian Games.
00:09:43 We'll go back to Com Willie. Let's give Rich a signal. Who is it? Is it Jam?
00:09:51 Rich Ford.
00:09:53 Rich Ford. I'll go to Rich Ford if it's okay. Maybe we should talk about what was said. Maybe Sir Jerry first.
00:10:02 Sir Jerry, your story earlier. Initially, what did you hear about the meeting? If there was any.
00:10:13 Sir, you're on mute.
00:10:17 Good afternoon Sir. Dudes, Carl and Ben.
00:10:27 Actually, when I talked to Commissioner Marshall, I think that was Sunday night.
00:10:35 What they're saying is that their meeting is ASAP. They said that ASAP could be as early as Monday.
00:10:47 That's right. The meeting was held last night among top-level members of the PBA board. Of course, with Commissioner Willie and SBP President Al S. Panlilo.
00:11:05 What caught my attention was the caption of the photo release that was sent.
00:11:17 It was that the meeting was hosted by SMC President and CEO Ron Esam. Maybe taking on the cue that the SMC group will have a hand in the formation of the national team for the Asian Games.
00:11:40 As to the pertaining details about it, maybe we should speculate first.
00:11:51 We haven't gotten any info or details regarding that meeting.
00:12:02 Other than that, it's the formation of the GILAS team for the 19th Asian Games.
00:12:09 Okay. Com is now returning. We can see him on our screen. Com, are you there?
00:12:18 Sorry. I'm not there.
00:12:21 Sir Dudes, you had a question earlier before you were cut off. What is your question?
00:12:26 Com, are you confident that given that we have less than three weeks to prepare, the setup you talked about, from the formation to the preparation, would be enough to give us a fighting chance this time?
00:12:43 I don't know if it's enough because it's only two weeks and it's not like the whole GILAS that has a chemistry.
00:12:55 I hope so. But I think we can advance to the second stage of the Asian Games.
00:13:05 Com, apparently, if there are a lot of PBA players involved there since the inports that are flowing to the B-League are not available anymore,
00:13:17 are our PBA players already in a condition? Are they in the middle of training already?
00:13:28 Not yet. That's our problem. I don't know if they're in a condition but I'm sure it's not in game shape yet.
00:13:37 So that's our problem. If we can get the core of the GILAS, the World Cup,
00:13:45 but that's our problem, their contract with their teams because the Asian Games is not under FIBA.
00:13:57 So the most ideal arrangement is if we can get the core of the GILAS that played in the World Cup and we can add more PBA players or college players. Am I right, Com?
00:14:17 Yes, that's the best way to fight the Asian Games. But there are a lot of situations that we can't control.
00:14:35 So I hope that the PBA is slowly helping the SBP for those players that we can control. But it also depends, as I've said,
00:14:48 it also depends on the coach who's holding the players and I hope the players are in a condition.
00:14:56 But Com, you're right. The Asian Games is not a FIBA event. So the leagues like the B-League or the Korean League are not mandated to release players to the national team.
00:15:12 At the same time, because the Asian Games is not under FIBA, our foreign players can be naturalized in FIBA events.
00:15:28 But in the Asian Games, they can play as locals. I can cite off the top of my head, I can cite Christian Standard, Chris Roos. Am I right, Com?
00:15:38 Yes, you're right. All they need is a passport. A Filipino passport is all they need.
00:15:48 All our players have a passport. All our players can play in the Asian Games. The only problem is their condition.
00:15:59 Karl, do you have a question?
00:16:04 Com, good afternoon.
00:16:06 I was just thinking, yes, considering the World Cup is our biggest event that you've hosted in decades,
00:16:15 but you think you could have, or SBP and the organizers could have prepared better, that you foreseen the Asian Games.
00:16:23 Of course, we already know that the Asian Games is a few weeks later than after the World Cup.
00:16:28 Do you think you could have prepared better as a nation that will participate in the Asian Games, Com?
00:16:37 Yes. I know, if I'm not mistaken, Coach Jot is prepared on who he will get.
00:16:46 If he will get players from different leagues outside the Philippines, he needs to be informed.
00:16:59 He has it. I don't know if he will still coach or if he has a new coach. It depends on the talks on Thursday.
00:17:11 I was just a bit disrupted by Coach Jot's announcement that he will step aside.
00:17:19 Do you think that's why the continuity was stopped?
00:17:25 It's possible. Players are already thinking about who they will get.
00:17:30 But PBA should have been informed as well so that they can condition who they want to get.
00:17:39 If they want to get someone like Ganto, it's not a condition. He's from abroad, he's a foodie.
00:17:49 He needs to be conditioned because you can be injured.
00:17:56 If he has someone, he should have been informed. We're not exactly from step one.
00:18:08 It depends on the coach, who he will coach, whether it's Jotman or not.
00:18:15 And the players that he should allow if he will get a coach, our players who play abroad.
00:18:23 Thank you com.
00:18:26 Com, do you think Coach Jot is under consideration for the Asian Games or he's out?
00:18:36 What can you assure us with regards to that?
00:18:42 Everyone should be considered. But Coach Jot set aside. He said he will step down first.
00:18:52 I don't know. In our discussion, everything is possible.
00:18:59 But in what Coach Jot said, maybe he won't be used in the Asian Games.
00:19:06 But we don't know until the WebEx arrives.
00:19:10 Com, what you're saying about the coach, based on your discussion, it's only for the Asian Games, not for the long term.
00:19:23 It's only for the Asian Games. If it will be successful and the coach will agree, why not?
00:19:31 But we're talking about the Asian Games, Ruben.
00:19:37 Okay. Okay. Okay.
00:19:41 Sir, maybe you have more questions?
00:19:44 Com, this is the last one.
00:19:49 One of the commentators asked this.
00:19:55 He said we should take the chance to have a long term plan for DLAS.
00:20:13 He said since the PBA, it's always a major component of the national team.
00:20:20 What do you say?
00:20:22 I agree. If I'm asked and I'm followed, our players in the 18-under will be good.
00:20:30 Our players will be there until 5-10 years.
00:20:38 But we will have 4-5 years where there's nothing.
00:20:43 It's really for experience.
00:20:45 Iran did that. Adadi came to us in 2004-05. They're still in college.
00:20:55 After 10 years, Iran is strong.
00:20:59 For me, the 18-under, they're already there. They're already going straight. They're strong. Chemistry and experience is a big thing for the national team.
00:21:15 If they can do that, it's like the NCC.
00:21:19 NCC did that.
00:21:21 If there's a program like that, it really depends.
00:21:27 One, the availability of players.
00:21:29 When it comes to abroad or family,
00:21:33 Two, the finances.
00:21:36 It's long. How many years will you support that?
00:21:42 But I think that's the best thing.
00:21:47 For the 18-under, we're already there. We're going to test the Filipinos that they won't be the champions.
00:21:53 But watch out, it will bear fruit.
00:21:56 That's all for me.
00:21:57 So what are you saying, if it's a pull from the youth program, what will be the participation of PBA?
00:22:08 For the first few years, PBA can inject a little.
00:22:17 Don't get anyone. Don't get anyone. Don't join the draft so the national team can still be formed.
00:22:28 Those are the things that PBA can do.
00:22:30 We can play in PBA. We can be a guest team. We can help in whatever way we can.
00:22:38 But the thing is, the partnership, chemistry, and experience of those few years is really different.
00:22:45 Wow.
00:22:46 My last question, Com.
00:22:48 Because in the wake of our World Cup performance, there were a lot of complaints.
00:22:54 In fact, Ruben was one of them saying that on the PBA's part, it's better for our national team to play.
00:23:05 If we get used to FIBA rules and our competition is high with more imports of unlimited high,
00:23:16 and FIBA rules that are more... Even coaches are saying that FIBA rules and PBA rules are more close.
00:23:28 What can you say about this?
00:23:30 I was interviewed yesterday in MOLTEN. The media was there. They asked me, "Should we adapt FIBA rules? What can we do slowly in FIBA?
00:23:46 What system can we see? Why are they successful? If they will be successful, even if they are called referees, why not?
00:23:56 So we can really help each other, we will do that if it's right to do it.
00:24:03 Slowly so it won't be sudden. But we will do that.
00:24:08 Or the imports, Com. Let's increase it. Let's make it 7-3.
00:24:15 It can be. But the big imports, sorry I didn't... It's slow. But now we're at 6-10. So let's see if it can be unlimited.
00:24:30 But if we go unlimited, teams are still getting 6-7. That's what they're getting.
00:24:38 Like that, we're limited. But they got the one that's in front of Brownlee.
00:24:45 Because in EBRON, Brownlee even if it's 6-9. So it depends. Even if we increase it, like what we're seeing now, we're at 6-10.
00:24:58 Let's see who will be the imports.
00:25:02 If there are two imports, Com. Two imports. That will increase the competition.
00:25:09 We're seeing two imports per day but they're dominating.
00:25:13 For me, sorry, for me, when I watched it, they're dominating, they're controlling the game. That's one. That's okay.
00:25:21 Two, the expenses are a bit high.
00:25:24 So our teams will have a hard time. We're worried that it might be.
00:25:32 But if it can help, if the board approves, let's see.
00:25:37 But for me, the two, it's like a game of hackett and bates.
00:25:43 It's just the two of them. So if one of them gets sick or doesn't wake up well, it's over.
00:25:54 So it can be. But that's all I see.
00:25:59 When we were still covering.
00:26:03 Yes. I didn't reach out to Bates, Com. You did.
00:26:09 You reached out to Cowart.
00:26:13 Cyrus Man, Com.
00:26:17 You reached out to the ones who were ahead of me.
00:26:20 Com. We might forget about the Bay Area. What will happen to us?
00:26:27 This is a special board meeting, emergency board meeting regarding Bay Area and regarding the Asian Games.
00:26:36 They wrote to us that they won't join.
00:26:42 So that's one thing we'll talk about, the Bay Area.
00:26:46 If they won't join, what will happen?
00:26:48 I can't reverse the All-Filipino Commissioners Cup now.
00:26:53 I can't because the imports are already permitting.
00:26:57 The imports are already here.
00:26:59 So I can't change that.
00:27:02 We are just scheduling how the Asian Games will be held.
00:27:09 Thank you very much, Com. Ben?
00:27:13 Sir Jerry, we have a question.
00:27:16 Com. New Taipei Kings has already replaced the Bay Area Dragons.
00:27:24 It just came out.
00:27:26 Can't they join the PBA? Although we know that the P-League is playing a game in Chinese Taipei.
00:27:37 Yes, they can.
00:27:39 But they will go through the process, they will go through our conditions.
00:27:45 If we can agree, they are okay, we are okay. Go!
00:27:50 But you are right, they are playing a game now.
00:27:54 I know that's what's happening in Taipei.
00:27:57 So it depends, but they haven't said anything to us yet.
00:28:02 So I think before October, they will say something to do something.
00:28:09 But I think as of now, we don't know.
00:28:13 Okay, thank you.
00:28:15 Com, thank you very much. Do you have a final message to our fans or an invitation to our viewers?
00:28:27 Wait for it, the PBA will start on October 15.
00:28:31 And I hope you will continue to support our Asian Games.
00:28:35 To all coaches and players, we will live this honestly.
00:28:45 Even if you are already giving up or you are cornered, this is really for the country.
00:28:50 All that will join, this is really for the country.
00:28:54 Okay, thank you Com.
00:28:56 Let's wait for the details on Thursday, on the press conference.
00:29:01 Thank you very much, Com.
00:29:02 Thank you for your time.
00:29:03 Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:29:05 After 10 years, you invited me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:29:08 Okay, PBA Commissioner Willie Marshall joined us in our discussion.
00:29:16 Thoughts on what Com said.
00:29:20 Carl, what are your thoughts on what Com said, Willie?
00:29:25 Are you optimistic about our Asian Games based on what Com said?
00:29:29 Based on what he said, they didn't go back to zero.
00:29:34 My question is, if they could have prepared better as a nation to join the Asian Games.
00:29:42 Because of course, we know that the two tournaments, World Cup and Asian Games, are closely linked.
00:29:49 But we weren't able to consider Coach Schott stepping aside.
00:29:53 But based on what Com said, I feel like we won't start back to zero.
00:30:00 I hope it's true.
00:30:02 There's a continuity from the World Cup team.
00:30:07 I hope it's the same.
00:30:09 There's still a flow, that's what I think.
00:30:12 Good.
00:30:14 Okay, to our viewers, if you have a comment to those you heard,
00:30:21 just leave it in the comment section.
00:30:24 And Snow said, give us a heart, heart, heart in the comment section.
00:30:31 Anyway, let's go back to our FIBA World Cup campaign.
00:30:40 We were 1-4.
00:30:42 Maybe your impressions on our game against China.
00:30:46 Sir Dude, you go first.
00:30:49 What do you think of the result, our overall performance against China?
00:30:57 For me, Ben, it's exactly how I expected it.
00:31:03 More than anything else, the drawback of that team was lack of preparation.
00:31:10 Lack of preparation time for the team itself.
00:31:14 Because we've been preparing for the World Cup for a long time.
00:31:20 But the truth is, the core of the team was formed 2 weeks before.
00:31:25 2 weeks before the World Cup, even less.
00:31:28 I saw the first 3-4 games of the GLAS.
00:31:34 Those should be the games they showed in the tune-up games.
00:31:42 You can see from those 3-4 games, the team is still in the process of getting used to it.
00:31:49 Clarkson is still getting used to the team.
00:31:51 Kai still doesn't know his position in the team and what his role will be.
00:31:56 The local players don't know how to react to Kai and how to react to Clarkson.
00:32:04 So you can see, there's still hesitation on the part of the team.
00:32:08 The GLAS team has no competition.
00:32:12 In those 4 games, you can see there's progress.
00:32:16 From the Dominican game to the Angola game to the Italy game down to the South Sudan game.
00:32:22 And I think, we finally came together during the China game.
00:32:27 Of course, it helped that Shooky was not there in China.
00:32:33 Jordan Clarkson, Waxhawk, his 3-point shooting suddenly popped up, which wasn't as well as in the first 4 games.
00:32:45 So it all came together.
00:32:47 It's like, Ben, it makes you think, what if Jordan Clarkson arrived on August 1 as scheduled and joined the team.
00:32:58 In their overseas games.
00:33:06 For the same reason, Kai Soto.
00:33:10 What if there's no back issue that became a hurdle for him to be able to join GLAS on August 1 as scheduled.
00:33:20 So there's a lot of what ifs, Carla.
00:33:22 But for me, I think that's the biggest what if.
00:33:24 Ben?
00:33:28 Okay. Okay.
00:33:32 I thought it was just a problem.
00:33:34 Yes, there's a lot of what ifs.
00:33:36 What if Clarkson's shots went in in the previous games.
00:33:42 It would have been a different result.
00:33:44 After the loss, after the win against China, we heard the news that Coach Chot Reyes announced that he will step aside from our national team.
00:34:01 Maybe we can talk about that.
00:34:05 Sir Jerry, maybe you can go first because we were together when Coach Chot announced his step aside from GLAS Pilipinas.
00:34:15 He said that it's been brutal for him and his family, and his former teammates.
00:34:26 Sir Jerry, what's your impression on his decision to step aside?
00:34:31 Do you see that he will not stay or coach again in GLAS, sir Jerry, based on what we heard and his aura during the press conference?
00:34:46 Sir Jerry, what's your impression on his decision to step aside?
00:35:14 Ben, I'm sorry. I'm not able to hear you.
00:35:16 Sir, let's go to Carl.
00:35:18 Ben, I'm here.
00:35:20 We have a visitor, Ben.
00:35:22 We have a visitor.
00:35:24 Okay. I'll check on GC.
00:35:28 There he is.
00:35:30 So, okay.
00:35:32 Friends, this is Mr. Badua, the main host of our POV. He's here.
00:35:38 Idol.
00:35:40 Hi, sir.
00:35:42 Sorry, boss. I won't be able to make it. I feel bad.
00:35:46 Anyway, good afternoon to you, Ben.
00:35:56 Boss Carlo, boss Ben and boss Dodo.
00:35:59 I'm sorry I'm late. You know, I'm under the weather.
00:36:03 I have a voice.
00:36:04 Yes, boss. Go ahead.
00:36:06 Hey.
00:36:13 Boss Doc.
00:36:14 Idol, you go first.
00:36:17 We've already talked about GLAS.
00:36:23 What's your impression on our 1 and 4 record?
00:36:28 I'll just give a comment about the interview with Commissioner Wheelie.
00:36:32 I wasn't supposed to be there but in deference to Commissioner Wheelie, I didn't go in.
00:36:38 But I'm not supposed to be part of the show this afternoon because we're under the weather.
00:36:43 But, me, boss Dodo, if you're going to read between the lines, show the picture of the meeting last night.
00:36:51 Okay. So, if we're going to read between the lines, boss, think on when he was asked if he wants to take over as GLAS Code.
00:36:58 He said, "No, I want to be with GINEBRA now." That's his line, right?
00:37:02 Right, boss?
00:37:04 So, now, SBP has no other option but to approach the PBA to seek help.
00:37:10 Okay. So, what's the strongest team in the PBA right now?
00:37:14 Let's talk about TALK and TEXT. But most of their players are on vacation.
00:37:18 Right?
00:37:19 In EGEL, their main man is June Mar, who was last part when he was last in GLAS.
00:37:25 So, I don't know if he will be part of our Asian Games team again.
00:37:31 So, what's next? It's going to be GINEBRA.
00:37:35 Because, look at this, there are two SBP officials on the left, the commissioner in the middle,
00:37:41 and then boss Al Francis Chua of GINEBRA and San Miguel.
00:37:46 And I don't know why the official of TERRA FIRMA is there.
00:37:49 So, I'm wondering why the official of TERRA FIRMA is there in that meeting.
00:37:55 The representative of Magnolia, Pardo, should be there.
00:37:59 But if we're going to read between the lines, I think it's going to be GINEBRA.
00:38:04 One, the team is complete.
00:38:06 Number two, Christian Stan Hardinger and Stanley Pringet can be picked.
00:38:11 So, it's complete.
00:38:12 Number two, you just need a point guard, you just need a big man,
00:38:16 you just need other players that we can replace and put in the team's needs.
00:38:23 So again, we're going back to the topic before the World Cup, we lack point guards in GINEBRA.
00:38:30 Stanley Pringet is there but we need a stabilizer in the court.
00:38:35 So, you need to add a point guard there.
00:38:37 Shooter, okay. GINEBRA has shooters but we need to add more.
00:38:42 So, GINEBRA is a big man but not enough against our Asian team,
00:38:46 especially that Japan and some other countries have been very impressive in the past World Cup.
00:38:55 So, our viewers, I'm asking you, do you believe it's GINEBRA team?
00:39:01 The core of GINEBRA team going to the Asian Games?
00:39:04 That's all.
00:39:05 It's obvious in the script and in the picture that we saw.
00:39:10 It looks like it's going to be GINEBRA going to the Asian Games.
00:39:14 There's no other option and that's the most logical way.
00:39:19 Actually, this is what's sad.
00:39:23 I don't know if you'll agree, boss Ruben, boss Carlo, boss Dodo,
00:39:27 Philippine basketball became a hostage in what happened to coach Chotray.
00:39:33 When we asked him to resign, he didn't want to resign.
00:39:36 At the time he knew he had to resign because the Asian Games is just about 20 days after the World Cup,
00:39:42 he resigned.
00:39:43 Apart from that, what Chotray did was painful.
00:39:49 After the win, the Filipinos were happy and the thunder was hidden.
00:39:55 He suddenly resigned.
00:39:57 At the moment, we were high because we won our first win in the World Cup,
00:40:04 and then he resigned.
00:40:06 Instead, that was the focus.
00:40:08 Even though we won, we had a consolation, but he suddenly resigned.
00:40:14 So that's why he resigned.
00:40:16 What do you think about that, boss Dodo?
00:40:18 You know coach Chotray. We've known coach Chotray for a long time.
00:40:25 A little bit of deceptive and humility are not really his best traits.
00:40:34 I would have preferred if that was planned.
00:40:42 I would have wanted coach Chotray to make that announcement maybe a day later.
00:40:48 After the World Cup?
00:40:50 No, a day later. Let the fans and let the players soak in the triumph and revel in the...
00:40:59 Think about it. We waited for that for how many years? Nine years in Sibil.
00:41:04 So I felt... That's how I feel.
00:41:11 I hope he would have let us enjoy first.
00:41:13 And then, we know after that, we are the science of coach Chotray.
00:41:18 But you're right. Actually, all of us.
00:41:21 He lost the victory and it went to coach Chotray.
00:41:26 But you, boss Ruben, you were covering the game of China and the Philippines.
00:41:31 We won there. It was our biggest win against China ever in the history of the Philippine basketball.
00:41:38 Did you divert attention to the win, to the resignation?
00:41:43 I think our win against China doesn't hide the fact that it was still a disappointing campaign for us.
00:41:54 Yes, we won, but we didn't achieve our goals, which is to make it to the Paris Olympics and into the OQT.
00:42:05 So for me, even if we won, again, it's just a moral victory.
00:42:11 Yes, we won, but at the end of the day, we were 1-4.
00:42:15 So still something to celebrate that we won, but I don't want to be too high on that win.
00:42:22 Because at the end of the day, we didn't achieve our goal.
00:42:27 So for me, I guess it's right for me that coach Chot resigned or stepped aside on that day.
00:42:38 I think if he could have stayed a few more days or announced it a bit late,
00:42:45 if he didn't announce it on that night, I think Coach Chot might have received more bashing.
00:42:54 Based on his statements, he's also affected by the negative remarks.
00:43:02 We have Josh Vett, the FIBA commentator.
00:43:08 Can you join our discussion about Gilas?
00:43:11 This is our podcast, man. We're live on Swing.ph.
00:43:14 We're live on our program. We're joined by Josh Vett.
00:43:20 Let's talk to Josh.
00:43:23 Hi, Coach Tim.
00:43:25 Has anybody got a Jollibee card I can borrow?
00:43:29 We're talking about Gilas right now.
00:43:35 Can you say about their performance? You were on the games.
00:43:38 Okay. So all I can say about Gilas' performance right now is,
00:43:42 Laban Pilipinas, puso. Okay?
00:43:45 Ngayon kumakain ako ng Jollibee.
00:43:49 What can you say about your fans? You have fans here in the Philippines.
00:43:52 Mahilig ako sa Pilipinas.
00:43:54 It's okay. I thought Josh would comment on Gilas.
00:43:59 Anyway, he's the announcer of Gilas' games.
00:44:03 He's our friend.
00:44:06 I thought he would comment on Gilas.
00:44:08 Anyway, that's my take.
00:44:10 I think even if we lose, it's not really something to celebrate about.
00:44:16 I don't want to be too high on the win because we're 1-4.
00:44:23 It's still something to celebrate but overall,
00:44:26 we shouldn't be too high on that.
00:44:30 Carlo, what do you think of the situation happening right now in Gilas?
00:44:37 If there's a scene here, if there's a problem, who and what?
00:44:43 In terms of situation, I mentioned earlier that I think we could have prepared better.
00:44:48 Because we know that the World Cup and Asian Games are coming up.
00:44:52 The two teams should have formed beforehand, months before,
00:44:58 even if the 21-man pool of the World Cup is the same.
00:45:03 I hope there's a pool or the one who can cut in there will automatically join the Asian Games.
00:45:08 Although, we already have news about Ray Parks, Aftana, New Sam.
00:45:14 It's like a show-in.
00:45:16 I don't know if it will continue but at least there's continuity from there.
00:45:20 But still, I think we could have prepared better.
00:45:24 Even if we were too focused on the World Cup,
00:45:27 we still prepared better for the Asian Games to be close to the World Cup.
00:45:33 That's what we call foresight, partner.
00:45:37 We lost again in the calculation, in the equation.
00:45:45 I will ask you, after what happened to Coach Chot Reyes,
00:45:50 I was able to talk to some officials of the SBP and they were disappointed
00:45:55 because one, of the timing of the resignation and the problem was that it was thrown to them.
00:46:02 Even before Chot Reyes resigned, he said that my fate, I leave it up to the federation.
00:46:08 It's like a ball, he always passes it to the federation.
00:46:12 Now, this is the problem.
00:46:14 It's like the SBP is focused and they're busy with our hosting,
00:46:20 especially now that the stars and the top teams of FIBA came here in the Philippines,
00:46:27 where we will host the playoffs.
00:46:31 Now, you're given a problem that you're looking for a host.
00:46:35 Imagine, Alphandedio should be sleeping at night.
00:46:38 He had a meeting with San Miguel Corporation.
00:46:40 Do you think there's any kind of blame that was put on this situation, on the developments in the past few days?
00:46:51 I think there was.
00:46:55 But whatever it is, I think it was clarified.
00:46:59 Coach Chot also said that,
00:47:03 he told SBP President Alphandedio and Ricky Vargas beforehand that regardless of what happens to the Gila's-China game, he will resign.
00:47:14 I think they were forewarned of Chot Reyes' plans regardless of the result of the Gila's-China game.
00:47:26 But if there was one thing good that happened from the Gila's-China game,
00:47:33 I think because of the victory, the transition was faster.
00:47:38 I felt it would have been a lot more messy if we lost to China.
00:47:45 I think it's very heavy for Chot to resign
00:47:51 or all the others involved in the national team program for that matter to move on.
00:47:57 I think one of the good things that was brought about by the victory in China was,
00:48:03 now it's a lot easier for people to move on.
00:48:07 What I'm sad about is that the Asian Games was delayed because the Asian Games is three weeks away.
00:48:14 But I hope the transition is better. This is a new program, new people, new coach, new players, new pool,
00:48:23 and a new program to chart a new direction for the national team.
00:48:28 Unfortunately, we should have talked about this long-term.
00:48:33 We talked about this two weeks away,
00:48:36 two weeks away, same preparation, two weeks. Like what happened to the World Cup team.
00:48:44 I think that was the unfortunate thing here.
00:48:47 But you, Al Panlilio, are you going to be on Chot's side?
00:48:50 I feel that there's a bad feeling. I'm sure there's a bad feeling.
00:49:00 But in fairness to Chot, Coach Chot, they can't do anything to him.
00:49:06 Coach Chot always says, "I'm retired and you called me back."
00:49:12 I don't think Chot Reyes would have stayed that long in his position without the imprimatur of foul.
00:49:22 Remember, he lost in the SEA Games and he was replaced.
00:49:26 He was replaced by Jordan Clarkson and Dini Pinalitang.
00:49:33 I think Mr. Al Panlilio has blessings in his continued stay there.
00:49:39 I'm sure there was support on his part.
00:49:42 If that's the only thing we will talk about, maybe they won't have anything to analogue to that.
00:49:48 Okay. So our viewers, you can send us your comments and give us your salubi in the comment section.
00:49:59 We are being beamed live on YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.
00:50:04 Thank you so much to our viewers.
00:50:07 It's hot now. If you post an advisory, a lot of people will comment.
00:50:12 Later, our viewers and panelists will get a glimpse of the development in the Philippine sports, particularly in the gilas.
00:50:28 (inaudible)
00:50:42 Actually, to be fair with the PBA, the PBA doesn't know that they will be tapped for this one.
00:50:47 I think the PBA is just a column for this because they know the situation. Chot resigned and our players will be replaced.
00:50:56 But we will go back to what we've been saying before. We should have a team A and a team B.
00:51:04 Just in case someone is injured here, just in case they're not available, we know that our players are being picked up in Japan and Korea,
00:51:11 we should be prepared. That's what the SBB did not anticipate at this point.
00:51:19 I hope that you, Al Panlilio, especially you, CCC, will educate the people below you because not everyone is under you.
00:51:27 Although, they said that's a command responsibility. Your people should shape up and they should know that Chot will go down that trajectory.
00:51:40 That's why I'm really saddened by the timing of the resignation.
00:51:44 Because Chot should have resigned when we lost to Gentoosa C Games.
00:51:49 Why did you end the World Cup, put on the Tom Brown and then resigned?
00:51:55 I wouldn't have joined the team if I knew that. I feel really bad.
00:52:04 That's why I'm apologizing to the fans who are saying that the next GILAS coach should be me, my assistant Homer or the head coach Rendon Labador,
00:52:15 I'm the assistant coach. If you're not a fan of football, you don't know the difference between the commentaries on the actual coach.
00:52:27 Did you see that we applied as head coach? Because we talked about GILAS, about Philippine basketball, we want to be a coach. Is that so?
00:52:36 If there's no one to talk about our country, who will? Will Kenito or Dayang Castillejo talk?
00:52:44 Will you talk about GILAS? If we don't talk about it, who do you want to talk to?
00:52:52 You're watching us and you're bashing us. You can say that we want to be a coach.
00:52:58 You know, if I want to be a coach, I applied before.
00:53:01 We didn't play professional basketball, we can't read the basketball anymore.
00:53:08 This is an offense. Between the players and between me and Boss Dodo who studied in UP, in Ateneo and I in SLU,
00:53:19 when we studied, we studied. The basketball players you're teaching, when they studied, they played basketball.
00:53:28 We're not just talking, we're giving comments on the Philippine basketball, we want to be a coach.
00:53:35 You're the ones who are talking about what we're saying, you want to sit here in the speech.
00:53:41 Okay, sit here, let's see if you don't look stupid.
00:53:44 We're not just talking, what we're saying is true.
00:53:50 Look, even Seve Sarmenta is saying that we don't have point guard, we don't have a shooter.
00:53:54 Didn't that happen? No?
00:53:57 Seve Sarmenta is a talent of TV5. He said that we don't have a point guard, we don't have a shooting guard.
00:54:03 Did you read his column? You're not the ones who are reading it. You're all about memes and TikTok.
00:54:08 And Homer, you're fighting us, we're fighting you because we have a lot of sources.
00:54:14 I told you, after the World Cup, there's a lot of changes. What happened?
00:54:19 There's a lot of changes. There it is, there's a lot of changes now.
00:54:23 You're saying that we want to be a coach?
00:54:26 That's just it. If I want to be a coach, I have to have a thick face, I have to be a good speaker,
00:54:32 I have to have a strong face, I have to chase money. I'm not like that. That's why I won't be a coach of the GILAS.
00:54:39 Okay. Let's go to our next topic. Do we have a guest?
00:54:43 Carlo, what do you think of this noise from the fans?
00:54:47 Carlo, do you think this is just natural for them?
00:54:50 This is another one. You'll be mad at us. Of course, we're concerned about the GILAS.
00:54:56 If you're not concerned about the GILAS, you're concerned about this. I laugh at One Sports.
00:55:02 Carlo, did you read that? They're so annoying. But this is just sweet.
00:55:07 That's how they come. And this one, there's another basketball player, he has a small head,
00:55:13 it looks like he's almost done with the top. He's saying that the Filipinos are bashing the GILAS.
00:55:18 No, the GILAS is being bashed by the Filipinos. Rico, come here.
00:55:23 The Filipinos are not bashing the GILAS. They're just making fun of it.
00:55:30 What happened is that only one person is bashing it.
00:55:34 Carlo, what do you think of this noise? Do the Filipinos have the right to complain?
00:55:40 Do they have a reason to complain?
00:55:42 Yes, maybe they have the right because this is our national team.
00:55:46 Maybe, except for the below the belt comments, aside from that,
00:55:54 I feel like we have the right or the fans to comment on the national team because it's our national team.
00:56:02 I don't know if there's a subsidy that our national team receives from the government,
00:56:09 or taxes that people pay. So I feel like the people have the right to speak if they don't like it.
00:56:18 But not below the belt comments. But aside from that, go. Say what you want to say, idol.
00:56:25 Here, Boss Dodo. The other people who don't care about the GILAS,
00:56:29 the ones who are supporting what happened, that it's just a basketball,
00:56:33 do you know that the government gave P3.5 billion to support the World Cup?
00:56:43 What will you say? P3.5 billion. Is that right, Boss Dodo? P3.5 billion.
00:56:53 Around P1.5 billion to subsidize our World Cup hosting. Is that right, Boss Dodo?
00:57:00 I don't have that. I know there was a government subsidy. But I'm sorry I have no idea how big or how small it was.
00:57:08 But it's definitely P1.5 billion and up. That was the requirement back then. That was the request if we can remember, right Boss?
00:57:18 Yes. Yes. Yes.
00:57:21 So what I know is the overall budget was something that big. I don't know what part of it came from the private sector,
00:57:31 what percentage came from the government. But the figures you're saying, I think that was for the whole World Cup.
00:57:39 I heard that maybe three or two years ago when they were just building the master plan for the World Cup.
00:57:49 So I don't know the percentage from the government and percentage from the private sector.
00:57:54 But it's around the figures. It's 1.5 to 3.5. So maybe it's up to the current affairs media to investigate that.
00:58:08 But Boss Ruben, how happy are you with the hosting of the Philippines World Cup?
00:58:12 If there's a silver lining in what's happening now, I think the foreigners and the visiting teams are happy regarding the hosting of the World Cup.
00:58:21 On the hosting part, I think it's okay. Actually, there are very few negative comments. Of course, in traffic, there's a problem with the internet connection usually in the press room.
00:58:46 But other than that, the foreigners like our hosting because they're nice, helpful, and there's no language barrier.
00:58:57 So in that aspect, our visitors seem happy regarding the hosting of the Idol.
00:59:06 Actually, that's what's saddening about what's happening. The problem with the internet connection is being covered by our successful hosting.
00:59:14 Actually, this is comparable to the hosting of the SEA Games in 2019, right Boss Ruben?
00:59:19 Or maybe bigger than that because the stars that came to our country are big.
00:59:24 This is bigger because there are many government agencies involved. Of course, security.
00:59:32 Compared to SEA Games, there are many athletes. Not really, we're not downplaying our Southeast Asian athletes, but the NBA players are different.
00:59:44 The players here are high profile. In terms of that, Snow is our biggest hosting in a sports event.
00:59:55 Correct. Cloud Saturn said, "Snow Badwa wannabe basketball expert, Fanny."
01:00:04 I'm not a basketball expert, I'm just covering sports. I haven't played basketball since 2003.
01:00:12 You started in 1998, so you're only 5 years old.
01:00:18 Now, it's 2023, you're not that old.
01:00:25 We're not going to have a panel, Boss Doc. Let's have Carlos Magallanes join us.
01:00:30 Boss Doc, are you okay?
01:00:32 Let's have this person join us.
01:00:37 Boss, I'm just live but I'll be leaving in a bit.
01:00:41 Bossing?
01:00:43 Oh, okay.
01:00:45 Junard Estrada. Let's start.
01:00:50 Carlos, you seem to be in a different country. It's really dark in your place.
01:00:53 Are you in your room?
01:00:55 No.
01:00:56 No kitchen, but there's a soap.
01:00:58 I'm in my room.
01:01:00 Oh, you're in the Philippines?
01:01:02 Yes, I'm in the Philippines.
01:01:04 And this is Junard. Sir Junard, you have a lot of shoes. What's your size, Boss?
01:01:09 Nine. Nine point five, Sir. I'm selling them.
01:01:13 You can sell them to me, Boss Doc.
01:01:17 What are the brands that you can sell?
01:01:21 Jordan and Yeezy.
01:01:24 Are resellers strong?
01:01:27 Boss, I'll ask you a question. Are resellers strong?
01:01:30 Strong, but there are a lot of them.
01:01:32 There are a lot of them compared to 2012 and 2015.
01:01:36 But now, there are a lot of them.
01:01:38 And sometimes, your work seems to be consensual. What's the offence?
01:01:43 Because your resellers will get 9,000 shoes and sell them for 30,000.
01:01:47 Yes, that's true.
01:01:49 And you can use them in the line.
01:01:52 That's true, Sir. That's true.
01:01:54 Especially in the store.
01:01:56 Yes, that's true.
01:01:57 Junard, what can you say about what's happening in our Philippine basketball?
01:02:02 What's the biggest contention for this?
01:02:04 Because there's a budget given, so it should be used properly.
01:02:08 If it's used properly, it might be good for our line.
01:02:13 And I hope that our direction now, since they know there's an Asian game,
01:02:20 during the time that FIBA hasn't started, they should start forming the Asian team.
01:02:30 Asian for Asian game team.
01:02:32 How do you feel about our performance?
01:02:37 Nothing.
01:02:38 Because I'm a basketball fanatic since the time of Jauwo.
01:02:42 So, even when Jauwo started, it only lasted for 2 weeks.
01:02:46 But it's good that you were able to hold on.
01:02:48 Because Jauwo was able to do what he wanted to do.
01:02:52 At that time, even though it was an Asian game, at least they reached the silver.
01:02:57 And then this time, you can see the discarding of Chet.
01:03:04 It was really a one-man show.
01:03:08 So, maybe if the coach that will be replacing him will be better,
01:03:15 if the coach that will be replacing him will be chosen,
01:03:18 and there's really a European style of carding play,
01:03:24 maybe we have a chance.
01:03:27 And the continuity is also important.
01:03:32 That's our problem, boss Lodo, boss Ruben, boss Carlo and Carlos.
01:03:36 The continuity.
01:03:37 After our campaign, each campaign is always changing.
01:03:40 The coach is changing, the lineup is changing, the direction is changing.
01:03:44 Which is...
01:03:46 That's what we're far from.
01:03:49 Look at South Sudan, one year ago, they were in the basketball court,
01:03:54 but look at them now, they're in the Olympics.
01:03:57 Look at Japan, they just established the field, but they're already growing fruits.
01:04:02 But my other question, speaking of fruits, Junard, show us.
01:04:06 Junard, how many briefs are you selling?
01:04:10 Do you sell briefs?
01:04:12 I sell briefs, sir.
01:04:13 Those are face masks.
01:04:15 Face masks? I thought...
01:04:16 Headbands.
01:04:18 Headbands, face masks.
01:04:19 Junard, if you're the one we're asking, what's the best next direction after this?
01:04:24 Because we're just going to go through Asian Games, right?
01:04:27 We're not going to chase after the Olympics, right?
01:04:31 So, participation.
01:04:32 Maybe if we're going to be successful in Asia,
01:04:37 maybe we'll start there.
01:04:39 Whoever the coach is holding,
01:04:41 and we might even be able to become the champion,
01:04:45 we'll go straight to it.
01:04:47 Maybe, most probably, my team will be the one holding this,
01:04:51 because he's the Asian assistant coach.
01:04:55 So, if he's not, maybe he's one of the players in FIBA right now,
01:05:02 in GILAS right now.
01:05:04 So, if we can be successful, maybe we'll just continue there.
01:05:08 And, it's still a continuity.
01:05:11 At least, the progress of GILAS is still going straight.
01:05:15 So, that's all I can say.
01:05:17 Carlos, if I were to ask you,
01:05:20 who should be the next coach of GILAS?
01:05:22 This is Asian Games, okay?
01:05:24 Because we're just going to go through Asian Games,
01:05:26 it's only 20 days.
01:05:27 The start is on the 21st, so,
01:05:30 is that right, boss?
01:05:31 The Asian Games start is on the 21st or 23rd?
01:05:32 23rd.
01:05:33 23rd, so we're only 18 days in, right?
01:05:36 So, it's September 5th now.
01:05:38 Who should really be the next coach?
01:05:40 The permanent coach of GILAS.
01:05:42 The one we saw in PBA, or should we get a new one?
01:05:46 Should we get a new one?
01:05:48 Or the real foreign coach?
01:05:50 For example, if TAB can't,
01:05:53 even if Coach Ryko can,
01:05:54 and the coach of Bay Area Dragons,
01:05:58 since they disbanded, right?
01:06:00 I know he's also a coach of a national team.
01:06:02 He's in Australia, he's contracted in Australia.
01:06:05 Or any European coach,
01:06:08 because that's where we're going.
01:06:10 Or might as well,
01:06:12 we should groom local coaches
01:06:15 and send them to Europe, right?
01:06:17 That's what we're lacking, I think.
01:06:19 Aside from...
01:06:21 Because the foreign coach,
01:06:24 maybe we can do it temporarily
01:06:26 until we can groom someone from our country.
01:06:29 But do you have any ideas?
01:06:33 Do you have any ideas for the foreign coach you're talking about?
01:06:36 Or should we just look for one?
01:06:39 We should look for one.
01:06:41 And it really fits with the culture of our basketball.
01:06:46 And what Com Willie said earlier is also right.
01:06:50 It's better to start with Youngblood
01:06:53 and then you'll be in Team 18B.
01:06:55 Then you'll mix it up until you're in Senior.
01:06:58 That's right.
01:06:59 I agree with Garlos.
01:07:01 He's...
01:07:02 He's still a youth player.
01:07:04 He should be in the national team.
01:07:05 Then, the pool.
01:07:07 You can bring him in until he's 5, 6, 7 years old.
01:07:10 But you know, boss,
01:07:11 what Com Willie Marshall said earlier was good.
01:07:14 Our contribution to the GILAS...
01:07:16 You should ask that, boss Dodo.
01:07:18 They can guest us.
01:07:21 We can groom players initially.
01:07:24 Then we'll talk to the teams.
01:07:26 Don't take them.
01:07:27 That's the problem with GILAS 1 and GILAS 2.
01:07:30 Right?
01:07:31 Even the last GILAS,
01:07:33 think about it, it was drafted right away.
01:07:35 It was a special draft for GILAS players.
01:07:37 They didn't get it.
01:07:38 So, it was just a mess.
01:07:40 The national team program just went down.
01:07:42 So, I hope that's a good promise and assurance and guarantee from the PBA
01:07:48 that the GILAS players,
01:07:51 if we're going to form an all-amateur,
01:07:54 which is the most logical at this point,
01:07:56 I hope that they won't...
01:07:59 I hope that the PBA won't force them to play for them.
01:08:03 Because the problem there will be the financial aspect, right?
01:08:08 The monetary aspect.
01:08:10 Because we know that the PBA will have a big profit.
01:08:14 Then the SBP, they can't face all of it,
01:08:20 including the Japanese Alokhunan.
01:08:22 So, the PBA should really help.
01:08:24 San Miguel, MVP Group and all of the stakeholders that support GILAS.
01:08:29 And maybe they can put a little budget for our national team.
01:08:35 And then the PBA, maybe it's time for them to amend their rules and regulations.
01:08:41 Carlos and Junard, thank you very much.
01:08:45 Thank you, sir.
01:08:47 Thank you.
01:08:48 You've been playing for a long time, right?
01:08:51 But we're happy with your inputs because we were able to see it.
01:08:58 Okay, Junard, thank you.
01:09:00 Thank you. More power, sir.
01:09:01 Thank you.
01:09:02 Carlos, I'm so proud of you.
01:09:06 Carlos is like a former soldier.
01:09:08 Okay. Thank you so much, guys.
01:09:10 Thank you.
01:09:11 All right.
01:09:12 So, one more thing, Tab Badwin, it seems like he's on his way to Indonesia.
01:09:17 So, this is Boss Jerry.
01:09:20 Boss Jerry, did you hear that Tab Badwin is already very active?
01:09:24 He's been telling me for 10 days that he's going to Indonesia
01:09:27 because the management of Indonesia didn't like their coach who replaced Rayko Turuman.
01:09:36 Apart from that, the system that is still being run in Indonesia is Rayko Turuman.
01:09:40 So it seems like they're already learning.
01:09:42 Tab Badwin has joined them and it seems like that's the direction.
01:09:46 Did you hear anything like that, Boss Jerry?
01:09:48 Snow, I don't have a face on the screen.
01:09:51 The internet is unstable.
01:09:54 Do you have it? Okay.
01:09:57 I can't see it.
01:09:59 Okay, okay, okay.
01:10:01 Your headset is beautiful.
01:10:05 Actually, I heard that news because they said that the big boss of Metro Pacific Group,
01:10:19 which is Mr. Salim, we already know that he's Indonesian,
01:10:24 is also connected to Mr. Manivy Pangilinan.
01:10:28 We already know that he also got Coach Tab Badwin to take care of the Philippines.
01:10:37 And maybe, that's what I thought.
01:10:46 It seems like Coach Tab is not in a position right now in our national team
01:10:58 because we already know that there was a little conflict between him,
01:11:03 between the SBP and the PBA leadership.
01:11:08 So, maybe Mr. Pangilinan saw it better.
01:11:16 So, I thought that it would be better if Coach Tab would serve the Indonesian national team.
01:11:24 Although, it's a big loss for us and a big gain for Indonesian basketball.
01:11:33 Boss Ruben, my question is, should we be afraid?
01:11:37 Because as we all know, Tab Badwin is very much familiar with almost all of our players.
01:11:42 Should we be afraid if ever Tab will transfer to Indonesia?
01:11:47 Of course, in a way, yes.
01:11:52 Because, of course, in Indonesia, when Coach Lyko was in the coaching staff of Indonesia, we lost in the SEA Games.
01:12:03 How can Coach Tab really know the landscape of Philippine basketball?
01:12:08 So, definitely, of course, a concern, but should be a challenge as well for our ELAS program
01:12:13 to really step up because other countries are also stepping up.
01:12:17 I'm slow.
01:12:20 Yes, Boss.
01:12:21 I believe, Tab is not accepting the offer yet.
01:12:27 But the problem is, the situation of Tab, not only in Ateneo, but also here in Philippine basketball.
01:12:41 It's like the song of Nilsilakas.
01:12:46 My world keeps getting smaller every day.
01:12:51 Tab's world is getting smaller because of the conflict between Tab and what it has created.
01:13:01 The SBP is already included, along with the ELAS.
01:13:05 So, I think more than anything else, the situation right now is what's driving Tab Badwin away from the Philippines.
01:13:15 Otherwise, given a choice, I think Tab would prefer to stay here.
01:13:20 You know, when you're a coach, you always want to be in the Philippines.
01:13:24 You don't want to be in Indonesia. You don't want to be in Japan.
01:13:27 You don't want to be in Korea because this is the epicenter of basketball in Asia.
01:13:32 You know everything.
01:13:34 But if your world is getting smaller, do you have a choice?
01:13:39 Yes. And that's what we're saying, boss, in our final word two weeks back.
01:13:47 If we get a neutral coach, Tuman Gilas, let's not let him join PBA, UAP because it becomes divisive for the coach.
01:13:57 Because of course, he wants to win the team he represents in those leagues.
01:14:02 He will speak.
01:14:03 So, the result will be that he will offend his opponents who are the stakeholders of basketball.
01:14:08 That's what happened to Coach Tab. That's what Coach Tab's story is.
01:14:13 But I hope, if ever that happens, the number of Indonesians in the Philippines will increase.
01:14:21 Right?
01:14:22 Yes.
01:14:23 Yes, it's already 11, right?
01:14:25 The number of Indonesian players in the Philippines will increase.
01:14:29 Anyway, boss, we're already over time, 14 minutes.
01:14:33 We can't start because you're on duty.
01:14:36 You're on duty.
01:14:37 No, boss, I'm just kidding.
01:14:39 Do you want me to breathe in the air so I can prove to you that I'm feeling better?
01:14:44 Okay, let's start with the final word. Let's start with Boss Arian Carlos Sakamos.
01:14:48 Sakamos, Boss Arian.
01:14:50 Idol.
01:14:52 I just repeated what I said earlier, based on our main title.
01:14:57 What's next for Gilas? I think we could have prepared better for the Asian Games.
01:15:01 Coach Chot is gone.
01:15:03 If we could have formed, maybe the pool, we'll go back to the pool again.
01:15:09 For example, we were talking about it before, it should be a 21-month pool, at least 30.
01:15:15 If they were able to make a 30-month pool in June, you can already divide it.
01:15:22 So, the World Cup and Asian Games teams are fighting at the same time
01:15:27 so they can prepare before their actual tournament.
01:15:32 That's what I thought was top of mind, how they could have prepared better.
01:15:37 And it's not like what Sir Alphan Lilio said yesterday,
01:15:42 or the other day, that they want to make a decision after the World Cup.
01:15:48 Maybe that's why they held an emergency meeting to at least appease the fans.
01:15:56 They're not just thinking about the World Cup.
01:15:59 I understand that the World Cup is the biggest sporting event that we're hosting,
01:16:06 but of course, we should have prepared better for the Asian Games.
01:16:10 I hope that this Thursday, we'll hear good things.
01:16:14 We have coaches and players.
01:16:18 I hope that this is not just a stopgap measure to get through the Asian Games,
01:16:22 but I hope that this is the start of a new phase for the GILAS Pilipinas.
01:16:28 Thank you so much, Carlo.
01:16:32 And, Boss Ruben?
01:16:34 Okay, final word, what's next for GILAS?
01:16:40 Of course, the Asian Games, but I don't want to be too optimistic about the Asian Games.
01:16:46 First, we don't have a coach.
01:16:48 Second, we don't have a shadow player.
01:16:50 So, I think from today to Thursday,
01:16:55 that's when we'll start talking to the players that they need to put on the GILAS Asian Games.
01:17:03 So, let's wait for the Thursday announcement,
01:17:05 and let's see what the lineup is.
01:17:08 But so far, with the way things are happening,
01:17:11 I think we shouldn't have too much hope for the Asian Games team
01:17:16 because our preparations are too late.
01:17:21 I know that the World Cup is already part of their preparations during the World Cup,
01:17:27 but again, a lot has happened.
01:17:30 So, I think we're back to zero.
01:17:33 So, first, let's not have too much hope for the Asian Games.
01:17:38 We hope for the best, but let's not have too much hope.
01:17:41 And then, the second day after the Asian Games,
01:17:43 I hope that there will be measures to do
01:17:50 so that our World Cup performance won't be repeated.
01:17:54 I know we could have done better if we had prepared better.
01:18:00 We have shooters, but I think we have a lot more things to do.
01:18:10 I hope we won't be satisfied with a 1-4 record.
01:18:13 I know that victory against China is good for our morale,
01:18:18 but I hope the leaders will take a look at the long term.
01:18:26 I hope they will look at that after the World Cup
01:18:31 because I believe we can beat other countries.
01:18:37 We saw our performance in our games against the top teams.
01:18:43 For me, that's very respectable.
01:18:46 I think we still need to close out games.
01:18:49 And I think in order to do that,
01:18:51 we need to have more experience in other competitions.
01:18:55 We need to have a good program where we will be focused on getting shooters
01:19:02 or training shooters and recruiting some big players.
01:19:11 I think hopefully this World Cup will be an eye-opener for everyone.
01:19:15 For us, our performance was decent, but again, we could have done better.
01:19:22 Hopefully, there will be long-term programs that will happen after the Asian Games.
01:19:28 Thank you so much, Boss Ruben. Let's go to Boss Jerry.
01:19:34 Yes, Snow. Actually, can you hear me?
01:19:44 Yes, yes, yes.
01:19:46 Actually, we got a release from the Philippine Olympic Committee,
01:19:54 the list of men's basketball team for the Asian Games.
01:20:00 And believe it or not, the coaches still on the list are Chot Reyes and Coach Timco, his assistant.
01:20:11 I don't know if... It's still changing, right?
01:20:17 The list of men's basketball team.
01:20:20 They need to appeal to the Asian Games organizing committee any changes that will have to be made.
01:20:30 I think, sir, let's put a perspective on that.
01:20:34 Because this line of the Asian Games, it's submitted in advance.
01:20:38 It's not like two days before the Asian Games, it will be submitted.
01:20:45 I think it's submitted months before.
01:20:47 It's just for the preparation of the organizing committee to prepare the hotels and all.
01:20:57 So I believe it was submitted before Coach Chot resigned.
01:21:03 Or step down or whatever term we want to use.
01:21:09 I think that's the challenge right now for Gilas.
01:21:17 Because that's the name that was submitted even before Coach Chot stepped down.
01:21:22 So I think that will be the problem now, how Coach Chot will change the name.
01:21:28 In the event that he will not be the coach.
01:21:31 So that's what I think...
01:21:33 To put it into proper perspective, Coach Chot is the one who is in the name.
01:21:38 Because it was submitted way before.
01:21:40 That's right.
01:21:43 And looking at the list of players, out of the B-League boys, only Kiefer Abe is left on the list.
01:21:54 Anyway, as for the future of Gilas or what's next for Gilas, I think Ben and Karl are right.
01:22:04 We don't expect too much in our campaign in the Asian Games.
01:22:10 Because I think it's too late.
01:22:13 Very short window of preparation if ever there is one.
01:22:20 So our expectations, we will just contain it.
01:22:26 We will just limit it.
01:22:28 For the future, I think the resignation or stepping aside of Coach Chot Reyes should pave the way for the SBP to finally look for a full-time coach,
01:22:44 full-time program director to run the men's national team.
01:22:50 I think lessons learned.
01:22:53 I think there are many coaches who are very capable of running the program of the national team.
01:23:00 It's up to the SBP to make the most out of this situation.
01:23:08 We will not just get things to patch things, whatever holes Coach Chot Reyes left in stepping aside.
01:23:22 Think long term, think of the future.
01:23:26 Let's remember next year, we will join the Olympic qualifying tournament.
01:23:33 We have a chance again. We need to prepare for that.
01:23:38 I think the pre-World Cup qualifiers will start by next year.
01:23:44 We are not the host of the next World Cup.
01:23:47 We are back to reality that we will compete in the qualifiers where the win-loss record matters most.
01:23:57 As for the players, I hope they will have a pool of players.
01:24:03 If 30 or 40 players can compete, maybe we can name those players.
01:24:08 We will have a layer of 12, 24, 48 players.
01:24:16 Veterans, young ones, and more.
01:24:24 If the players on the top are not available, you can just bring them down.
01:24:30 I think that has been the program even before.
01:24:34 It hasn't changed. Ron Jacobs, Ryko Toroman, and Tab Baldwin are still in time.
01:24:41 That's what we are doing.
01:24:44 Why not continue that program?
01:24:48 We will widen the pool and conform it to whoever coach and program director the SBP will appoint.
01:24:58 Snow?
01:25:00 Thank you so much, Boss Jerry.
01:25:06 Thank you to our viewers on TikTok. We are at more than 3,000.
01:25:10 On YouTube, we are at more than 1,600 as of the last update from Ford.
01:25:17 On Facebook, we are at almost 1,000. Thank you so much for your support.
01:25:23 Believe and trust us every Tuesday.
01:25:27 Boss Toto, you don't want to do the final word?
01:25:31 I'm already doing my story. You can do it.
01:25:37 Just one-liner. What can you say on our topic this afternoon?
01:25:43 I agree with Jerry, I agree with Kyle, and I agree with Ruben.
01:25:47 There should be a long-term plan already in place.
01:25:51 We have been playing Asian Games for two weeks.
01:25:55 So what can you expect?
01:25:57 Regardless of who is the coach and who are the players,
01:26:00 the focus should be on long-term programs.
01:26:06 I agree with Commissioner William Marshall earlier.
01:26:12 Any program should start from the grassroots and youth level.
01:26:18 Start there.
01:26:20 If you start with 16 and under, CICOM is saying 18 and under.
01:26:25 I prefer 14 and under, 16 and under, 18 and under.
01:26:29 Create a team, nurture it, make it a pool, and strengthen the PBA players.
01:26:36 Participate in the PBA, don't let them get into the B-League, KBL, PBA.
01:26:44 If you can do that, I think we'll have a better and more forward-looking team
01:26:49 than what we have now in the World Cup and Asian Games.
01:26:53 Thank you so much, Boss Toto.
01:26:58 Coach Tchotbos and I are face-to-face.
01:27:01 I think I'll be going home for dinner at lunch.
01:27:06 Sorry, I'm feeling a bit sick. I have to drink water.
01:27:14 Boss, I can only say what's happening in the Philippine basketball scene is sad.
01:27:22 Because when Asian Games is hooked,
01:27:25 and we're not very optimistic about winning,
01:27:29 we were looking so high at the World Cup that we forgot that the Asian Games
01:27:36 that are doable for us to win, that's what we left behind.
01:27:40 Didn't you notice that?
01:27:41 We watched the World Cup, but we forgot about the Asian Games.
01:27:46 Where is that good gauge and barometer of how far we have gone?
01:27:55 With this development, the untimely resignation of Coach Tchotrayes,
01:28:00 whom we have been asking for so long,
01:28:02 and I don't know when we will need him and who he resigned,
01:28:06 that's more painful, especially when the program of GILAS was blown up.
01:28:11 That led to the PBA now volunteering to help our national team,
01:28:19 which is not what we hoped for.
01:28:21 Why? The PBA is different from international basketball.
01:28:26 System, rules, that's different.
01:28:31 How many times have we failed in the past sending PBA teams,
01:28:35 a core of PBA teams to international games, but nothing happened?
01:28:41 Our explanation is that there is a jelly, there is a core, there is a system,
01:28:48 but if you will be led by other players, the problem will be included.
01:28:53 You have no cohesion.
01:28:55 This problem in the Asian Games should have been foreseen even before the World Cup.
01:29:03 If we are here in SPIN, not the coaches, not the technicalities of basketball,
01:29:10 we can see the problem.
01:29:12 Why not you?
01:29:15 Why not the people in the Philippine basketball?
01:29:18 My suggestion is, after all these, let's pass the Asian Games,
01:29:26 but if you will ask me, the Asian Games is more important to me because we can do it.
01:29:31 And apart from that, your respect for world basketball will begin with how you perform in the Asian Games.
01:29:39 In the World Cup, we are just a target.
01:29:43 We are just a cat, we just want to win, we haven't done it yet.
01:29:48 In the Asian Games, the respect of our neighbors is there,
01:29:55 the real action in our continent is there.
01:30:00 That is what we have neglected.
01:30:02 So what do we do right now?
01:30:04 We have to revisit our GILAS program.
01:30:08 Why is this necessary?
01:30:10 We can see the problems now, from the coach, from the availability of players,
01:30:15 from the lack of adjustment, etc.
01:30:25 So if we are going to revisit the GILAS program,
01:30:31 we should know where we were strong and successful before,
01:30:35 we should adapt that.
01:30:37 Where we fell, we should not repeat that.
01:30:41 That's how simple we should do it.
01:30:43 The failures, the reasons why we stuck, why we were in a win-win situation before,
01:30:51 we should avoid that.
01:30:53 So what does that mean?
01:30:57 If there are individuals, if there are coaches who have fallen before,
01:31:02 we should not go back.
01:31:06 And the next thing is we should form,
01:31:09 it's imperative that we form a GILAS 3.0.
01:31:14 When I say GILAS 3.0, we should focus on our amateurs.
01:31:20 It's going to be a tall order because they are encouraging to play in Japan.
01:31:26 Ateneo, there are a lot of superstars, they are going to Japan.
01:31:30 That's where the core of our GILAS 3.0 should be.
01:31:35 Korean Basketball League is also there.
01:31:37 And some other leagues in Asia that will open for Asian imports.
01:31:43 Our neighbors are doing that because they want to improve their basketball.
01:31:51 They are not basketball countries.
01:31:54 That's why they need to do that.
01:31:57 And it happens at the expense of the Philippines.
01:32:03 That's the real sad part.
01:32:05 Now, when we form a GILAS 3.0,
01:32:08 we should get a coach who will start from scratch.
01:32:12 There is no politics, no teams that will join PBA or UAAP.
01:32:18 It's just focused on GILAS.
01:32:20 So my suggestion is to find a European coach or an American coach
01:32:25 who is already used to FIBA rules.
01:32:27 And then the team that we will form,
01:32:31 you will say, "No, that will attract the Philippines,
01:32:34 and the Philippines will also attract them, let's just leave them."
01:32:36 Right?
01:32:37 Easier said than done, but it can be done.
01:32:41 The GILAS team that we will form, let's bring them to Europe and base them.
01:32:46 They will go around and around, they will fight against the other teams.
01:32:50 Let's start that with A.J. Edu.
01:32:54 A.J. Edu is already in the Philippines.
01:32:57 He's already in the Philippines. He's already in the Philippines.
01:33:01 Let's wait for the contract to be completed in Korea.
01:33:03 Let's form the GILAS 3.0 and send it abroad to Europe or America.
01:33:09 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:11 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:12 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:13 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:14 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:15 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:16 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:17 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:18 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:19 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:20 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:21 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:22 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:23 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:24 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:25 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:26 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:27 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:28 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:29 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:30 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:31 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:32 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:33 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:34 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:35 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:36 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:37 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:38 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:39 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:40 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:41 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:42 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:43 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:44 Let's send them to Europe and America.
01:33:46 So we have to expose them abroad and that way,
01:33:49 we can steal the attention and the money from Japan, Korea, and other countries.
01:33:58 I'm not speaking here because I want to be a coach.
01:34:03 I'm speaking here because that's what I see.
01:34:07 Based on my perspective, it's good for the national team.
01:34:11 Those who say that I'm the only one who can coach the team,
01:34:15 look at this.
01:34:17 We're just helping, giving suggestions.
01:34:21 We see the problem before it comes out.
01:34:25 And we're the ones who will be harmed.
01:34:28 All because you're being paid P350 for trolling every day.
01:34:32 If you notice the stories of SPIN, there are a lot of troll accounts there.
01:34:40 They were tricked by the Duende.
01:34:42 So here's the thing.
01:34:44 Let's forget about our topic about Coach Stab.
01:34:47 It's hard for me to bring Coach Stab back because a lot of people have been burned.
01:34:53 Let's be a clean slate when we get a coach.
01:34:57 Who are the Europeans or foreign coaches that you can think of that can help us?
01:35:02 Comment below.
01:35:04 That's all.
01:35:06 Boss Dodo, thank you very much.
01:35:08 Boss Jerry, Boss Ruben, and Boss Carlo.
01:35:10 Boss Carlo, thank you so much.
01:35:12 You're surprised.
01:35:13 My temperature is 45 degrees Celsius right now.
01:35:17 But we just heated it because there's a lot of noise.
01:35:20 But anyway, thank you very much to all of our participants.
01:35:23 Carlos and Junard earlier.
01:35:25 To the non-profits, who are texting below.
01:35:27 To the non-profits who are watching and following.
01:35:30 Who are reading the stories of SPIN.
01:35:32 Thank you very much.
01:35:34 Thank you also to the men and women of Summit Media and SPIN.ph, the behind the scenes.
01:35:39 Boss Ritz for Don Chano and Boss Gianmariano.
01:35:42 Thank you also to Boss Arian, Carlos Acamos, Boss Ruben Derado, Boss Jerry Ramos, Boss Dodo Catacutan, and Ma'am Liza Gokong Weycheng.

01:35:53 [Laughter]
