'There is a no silver lining from this defeat. There are no new lessons that we have not already learned many times over in the past.' SEAGames GilasPilipinas
MANILA, Philippines – The Vietnam Southeast Asian Games basketball debacle happened months ago, not on May 22 at the Thanhh Tri Gymnasium in Hanoi.
This is nothing more than a feeble justification that is downright insulting to the Filipino basketball fans. So, are our basketball officials and the apologists essentially saying that in the last year and a half, countries like Thailand and Indonesia have become better and the Philippines has not? Wasn’t it SBP’s responsibility to ensure that the 2019 Gilas cadet PBA draftees remained in the national pool? Why were their contracts not renewed? If the SBP could mobilize the likes of Ramos and the Ravena brothers to join the Gilas campaigns in the previous FIBA window and in the SEA Games, why was this option not provided to Tab Baldwin and his Gilas program?
The failures have been monumental, and they often come by virtue of the joint effort of the SBP and the PBA. The 2018 FIBA World Cup where the Gilas team, given less than two full weeks to train together, lost all their games by an average of 29 points. The 2020 FIBA 3×3 Tokyo Olympic qualifiers where the national team, again given not more two weeks to practice together, went winless and dropped all their games by an average of 7.75 points.
Alas, they have never had a track record of holding themselves accountable to Filipino basketball fans.
