Fiba Execs. from Switzerland told our SBP officials that out NT program would peak for the 2016 Olympics, I do hope their forecast would be right.
From what I know, SBP is keen on getting Portuguese coach Mario Palma (Former Jordan NT & current Portugal NT coach) but this was mention before the 2010 Fiba world championships.

Philippine national team choked again against Korea. Blew 11 point lead. Man Korea always does this to us. Same story all over again.
As for their next coach, they should try getting that Jordanian coach Baldwin. He reminds me of Ron Jacobs of Northern Cement days when the Philippines dominated Asia. Same ball movement and tactical expertise. If Baldwin can lead NZ to 4th place of the World Championships, what can he do for us.

This shows no matter how small we are we can still be the best we can be....

Toroman, brought the Philippine team this far and the players responded well to him, I think he's got more to offer us. Considering the best Philippine bball players weren't in the team should give us hope for the future.

Indeed Toroman's disciplined system is better than the local coaches we have had before. However if Jordan's coach Baldwin becomes available, he would be a better choice. He not only nearly won the championship this time losing by a mere point to China , but he led NZ at one time to 4th place in the world championships ahead of even the US team. He reminds me of Coach Ron Jacobs who led the Philippines to many successful campaigns in the past and employs a similar system that emphasized ball movement to create an open man. He certainly would not have allowed an 11 point lead to dissipate in the last few minutes of a pressure packed game. Whoever takes over though needs the cooperation of the PBA, in order to get the best players. By refusing to lend their players, SMB has again shown that their company's agenda is more than impt. than the national team.

It looks like MVP is leaning towards hiring a local coach as the next coach of the national team from this article possibly Chot Reyes and only offering Toroman a position as consultant. I think this is a step backwards. We have tried this before. Local coaches are unfamiliar with international rules and the systems international teams use. They should have just kept Toroman as coach if they couldn't get a better coach like Baldwin from Jordan. There are also good coaches in the US NCAA colleges who play under amateur rules who can do the job the way Ron Jacobs did decades ago. www.philstar.com/SportsArticle.aspx?articleId=733065&publicationSubCategoryId=69

Not exactly Smart Gilas, here's something to be proud of PHI/JPN - Alejandro provides the star turn for Philippines against Japan NHA TRANG CITY, Vietnam (2nd FIBA Asia U16 Championship): Rodolpho Alejandro (pic above) provided the star turn to an otherwise equally explosive contest as Philippines raced ahead in the latter part of the second quarter and held fort to post an 83-72 win against Japan in a clutch Group F game on Monday. The win perched Philippines on top of the Group F and set them up a quarterfinal clash against Iraq on Wednesday after Tuesday’s rest day. Japan will take on Lebanon in their quarterfinal with the possibility of meeting China in the semifinals. Things went on even terms throughout the first one quarter and a half in the most equally contested game of the competition so far when Philippines made their move with a 18-6 run to close the first half 48-36 ahead. With exchanges continuing to remain equal after the Philippines outburst, Japan never recovered from that Alejandro blitz. Alejandro scored 10 of Philippines’ 18 points in that scoring wave, including a robust under-the-basket play to close the first half. Alejandro went on to lead Philippines scoring with 36 points, in a 14/21 shooting. Yusei Sugiura’s 30 points led Japan. “I had the confidence in the boys because our bench runs deeper. I knew our rotations can be long, therefore I wasn’t worried about the pace,” said Philippines coach Olsen Racela. “We had to step up the gas sometime. It was just a matter of looking for one of their (Japan) substitutions and rolling out our plan,” Racela added. “Each player has a role to play here, but Alejandro is our leader,” the coach said. source: www.fibaasia.net/NewsDetails.aspx?id=1489

b3lowzro,
been following them to in interbasket. it looks like the best crop of youngsters we have had in a while although we still have size issues as usual. I like their coach Racela. Since their team is smaller, he is using the team's speed and depth to outlast opponents by playing the run and gun game. I think we can take iraq and possibly aim for 2nd place and a place in the world u-16. China with their size and talent will probably end up winning it all though.

Fiba Asia U16: Philippines survives Iraq’s late rally, nails semis slot By Jasmine W. Payo Philippine Daily Inquirer 10:19 pm | Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 0 shareNew 0
NHA TRANG, Vietnam—Just one more win to the world stage.
The Energen Pilipinas Under-16 team survived Iraq’s gritty comeback, 82-69, to clinch a semifinal berth in the Fiba Asia U16 tournament Wednesday night at the Khanh Hoa Sports Center here
Tomas Ramos provided the much needed inside presence for a team-high 15 points, while Jay Javelosa poured in seven of his 12 points in the final eight minutes after the Iraqis had threatened within four, 62-58.
The Philippines’ thrilling victory over the taller Iraq side matched the record semifinal stint set by the previous national youth batch led by Kiefer Ravena in 2009 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Now standing in the way of the the Philippines’ bid to surpass that record—and book a World Championship ticket–is the sweet-shooting South Korean squad.
The two finalists in this 15-nation tournament will represent Asia in the 2012 Fiba U17 World Championship in Lithuania from July 17 to 26.
The Philippines will shoot for a championship berth against South Korea–which crushed Indonesia, 107-48, in the quarterfinals—in the Final Four tonight.
Defending champion China and Japan will also fight for a title berth in the other semifinal pairing.
China demolished Saudi Arabia, 100-19, while Japan routed Lebanon, 71-52, in the quarterfinals yesterday afternoon.
The Philippines—the only other unbeaten squad along with China–streaked to its sixth straight victory following its 5-0 sweep of the first two rounds.
As the reigning champion in the Southeast Asian Basketball Association (Seaba), the Philippines predictably cruised the preliminaries by dumping Indonesia (93-30) and Vietnam (111-25).
The young Nationals, banking on their quickness, sustained the roll in the second round by crushing Qatar (107-28) and Saudi Arabia (100-42), before upsetting Japan (83-72) for a 5-0 sweep. The scores: PHILIPPINES 82—Ramos 15, Javelosa 12, Asilum 10, Lao 10, Cani 9, Alejandro 8, Diputado 8, Heading 6, Caracut 2, Rivero 2, Go 0. IRAQ 69—Razzaq 20, Hamzah 19, Sabri 12, Ismael 8, Mahdi 4, Abdulqaer 2, Abdullah 2, Ali 2, Saeed 0, Ahmed 0, Mohammed 0, Abdullhussein 0.
Another date with our nemesis Korea. Hope we pay back them this time after so many heartbreaks through the years for a spot in the World U-17 and 2nd place.

cjeagle,
Yep, I'm expecting that actually but I was completely surprised that we we have topped the 2nd round of the tourney. This team is stronger than the Ravena led 2009 team despite the loss of our 2 top players due to school commitments and another Fil-Am from Dengue.
