This is the time to judge Gilas Pilipinas Program Director and Coach of Senior Men's Basketball Team.
He said in 2022, when he was losing left and right and when he was prioritizing the PBA over his Gilas duties, to judge him in the World Cup.
He said he will soon assemble the best team.
He said, these were all a learning experience.
He said he didn't select or benched certain players because of this or that or whatever reason.
Diva, Drama, Dribble Drive
He has been the most vocal coach any Philippine team has ever had. He is also the most polarizing, Filipino basketball fans either love him or hate him, and for good reasons.
He has wasted this once in lifetime chance. Gilas could have been 2-0, instead of 0-2. Gilas would have had a fighting chance to qualify outright to the Olympics next year.
There could have been a bigger pool of players, more players would have wanted to play, there could have been a better program and better preparation.
Gilas could be going up in ranking instead of slipping down. Other teams would be fearing them instead of laughing and making fun of them.
The Gilas program could have been as exciting, gaining fans and full of promise like the Philippine Womens National Football Team (Filipinas) who finished in 24th spot in the last FIFA Womens World Cup, a team who won one game in that World Cup and climbed up the FIFA Rankings.
Nasayang lang lahat ng pagkakataon at ang mga pangarap ng mga Gilas fans at ng sambayanan.
Oras na para husgahan ka coach, oras na para magstep down. Yes this is all on you.
Coach Chot Reyes salamat sa mga naiambag mo sa Gilas, pero alam mo at alam na ng lahat na panahon na ng pagbabago.
Tama na. Gumising ka na. Tapos na ang iyong pagkakataon at panahon. Nahusgahan ka na ng sambayan pati na ng foreign media.
It's time to get away from all these which doomed the Gilas Program.
1. Politics
2. Personal Interests
3. Favoritism/Padrino System
4. Nepotism
5. Unprofessionalism/Brawls
6. Dribble, Attack & Kick out/Lack of Plays/Lack of Preparation
7. 6-7 Man Rotation
8. Do Not Adjust In Game/Late in Adjusting/Match Up Problems
9. Hard Headedness
10. Failure to Keep Up with the Times
It's time to say what Coach Yeng admitted:
Napag-iwanan na tayo. Gising!
