SAMAHANG Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio on Friday called on the country’s basketball stakeholders to come together in supporting the national men’s team with the goal of forming a competitive squad for the International Basketball Federation World Cup next year.
Gilas head coach Chot Reyes had no excuses for the dismal showing but said the outcome could’ve been different if top scorer Dwight Ramos and naturalized player Ange Kouame suited up. “As FIBA secretary-general Andreas Zagklis mentioned, it’s been nearly 25 years since Greece hosted a world basketball event,” Panlilio said. “We really have to give it full support from all basketball stakeholders.”
The PBA will play only two conferences next year and clear its calendar starting in May up to the end of the World Cup.
