CAGAYAN DE ORO – Although the level of competition in Olympic basketball is beyond the Philippines’ reach at the moment, SBP chairman Gov. Oscar Moreno of Misamis Oriental said yesterday it shouldn’t quash hopes of someday qualifying the national team for the event.
Moreno was in Beijing last week with SBP vice chairman Ricky Vargas and SBP executive director Noli Eala to meet FIBA president Bob Elphinston, FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann and FIBA-Asia secretary general Dato Yeoh Choo Hock on issues related to the future of the game in the country.
The two-hour meeting was held at the Beijing Hotel, where the heads of over 200 National Olympic Committees stayed during the recent Olympics. Also present were POC president Jose Cojuangco Jr., POC first vice president Rep. Monico Puentevella, POC ethics committee chairman and Olympic attaché Art Macapagal, POC secretary-general Steve Hontiveros and former Asian Basketball Confederation (now FIBA-Asia) secretary-general Moying Martelino.
During the landmark meeting, FIBA reiterated its recognition of the SBP with POC affirmation as the National Sports Association (NSA) for basketball, ruling out the BAP for being a “nuisance.” The BAP used to be FIBA’s country affiliate until it was stripped of NSA status by the POC two years ago. To this day, the BAP continues to wage a propaganda war in a vain effort to discredit the SBP.
Moreno said the meeting established three vital points - first, FIBA’s unqualified recognition of the SBP; second, FIBA’s support of the SBP’s plan of action and third, FIBA’s appreciation of the SBP’s autonomy in charting its own course.
A highlight of the meeting was Eala’s power-point presentation of the SBP’s mission-vision with key result areas as determined in a recent two-day planning session in Cebu with major stakeholders. Two ambitious objectives are to win the 2010 Asian Games basketball championship and to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
Eala said the SBP plans to recruit a foreign coach and a naturalized player for the long-term development of the national team with the goal of being competitive at the regional level starting in the 2010 Asian Games. In the short term, the PBA will represent the country in next year’s FIBA-Asia tournament, which is the qualifier for the World Championships in Turkey in 2010.
Candidates for foreign coach include Vlade Djurovic of Serbia, Bernardo Murphy of Argentina, Alan Richardson of England and Jonas Kazlauskas of Lithuania. Kazlauskas’ contract to coach the Chinese national team is reportedly expiring.
FIBA allows a country to draft one naturalized player. At the recent Olympics, Russia suited up two naturalized players from the US - J. R. Holden for the men’s team and Becky Hammon for the women’s team. Players with dual citizenship because of lineage are not considered naturalized. A potential naturalized player for the Philippines is San Beda’s Sam Ekwe, a Nigerian native.
Moreno said basketball is more than just a sport in the Philippines.
“It has a role in nation-building,” he noted. “The game is a passion for us. It unifies our people. The Olympic dream may seem far-fetched but who knows? There are God’s limits to how tall players from other countries can grow and maybe, we’ll get bigger. But seriously, there are ways to neutralize our disadvantages in height and heft. The SBP is conscious of the brand of Pinoy basketball which is unique in the world and we’re proud of it.”
Moreno said in Beijing, he was able to visit the NBA-style basketball stadium.
“I saw the flags of the 12 countries in the tournament hanging from the rafters,” said Moreno. “It’s a source of pride just to qualify. To participate is already an achievement. That’s our dream for Philippine basketball. Our dream is for the Philippine flag to fly up there someday.”
Moreno said the SBP will continue to reach out to all basketball leagues and associations in the country, including the BAP, in an attempt to unify the sport towards a common purpose.
“We’re adopting a non-confrontational attitude,” said Moreno. “It’s clear that the SBP has the recognition of FIBA and the POC so our role is to get everyone together moving forward under one roof.”
Moreno said Baumann’s familiarity with the personalities and conditions in Philippine basketball is an advantage because he is able to discern which groups legitimately represent the sport’s major stakeholders.
“The SBP is on the right track but FIBA realizes results can’t come overnight,” said Moreno. “FIBA is giving us the free hand to do what is best for the future of Philippine basketball. Now, it’s up to us to get the job done.”
Moreno confirmed that the SBP will tender an offer to host the FIBA-Asia Championships in 2011, the qualifier for the London Olympics. Only the FIBA-Asia champion will get an automatic ticket to London but three wildcard spots will be available for teams that fail to qualify from the continental qualifiers.

RP 106 - TPE 105: How it Happened
TEHRAN (FIBA Asia U18 Championship for Junior Men): Last edition’s semifinalists Chinese Taipei and former champions Philippines waged a protracted battle before the latter emerged victorious 106-105, in the second Overtime in a Group C encounter here on Thursday.
Philippines went ahead 28-16 at the end of the first quarter, but that was the only time in the entire game did any team manage to hold a sizable lead.
Taipei fought back gallantly to outscore Philippines in all the three remaining quarters. The East Asian nation, who had finished fourth at Urumqi two year ago, went into the lead for the first time in the game (78-76) only with 3:15 left in the game.
The battle of nerves continued as both sides fumbled in the final moments to seal the issue in regulation.
After the first five minutes of extended time failed to break the dead-lock, Taipei raced ahead 104-98 riding on Lee Ming-Hui’s back-to-back baskets.
But Philippines fought back to regain the lead when Gabriel Banal converted both his free-throws.
“I think both of us (teams) lost chances to close the game in regulation,” said Philippines coach Franz Pumaren.
“It was a test of character for the boys. I’m happy they held together rather well,” he added.
Philippines went into the first Overtime with four players ejected due to personal fouls and were even worse off at the start of the second extension with six forced to sit out.
“I’m proud of the way my bench rose to the occasion,” Pumaren said.
“I must also give credit to the Taipei team for the way they came back,” he added.
“I’m proud of my boys for the way they fought back,” said Taipei coach Yang I-Feng.
“I hope the boys take the lessons from this game into the next matches in the tournament,” said Chung Kwang-Suk, the head coach of the Taipei Senior men’s team, but in Tehran as the General Manager of the U18 squad.
Scores
Philippines 106 (Ryan Garcia 18, Jaypee Mendoza 15, Ian Sangalang 14, Matthew Wright 12, Samuel Marata 12) bt Chinese Taipei 105 (Lin Li-Jen 14, Lee Ming-Hui 13, Lai Kuo-Wei 12). Quarterwise Scores: 28-16, 45-34, 66-60, 88-88, 96-96.

Update sa RP Youth:
Fiba Asia: Lebanon squeaks past RP Youth
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 03
00 08/31/2008
TEHRAN, Iran—Lebanon exploited a lousy call slapped on the Philippines and extracted an 87-84 win Saturday in the Fiba-Asia Championship for junior men at the Azadi Stadium here.
Filipino-Canadian Matthew Wright was assessed an offensive foul with 18 seconds left after casually squeezing past two Lebanese defenders with hardly any contact.
Lebanon then looked for the open man in the ensuing play and found Ahmad Ibrahim, who drilled a three-pointer from the right flank that broke the 84 deadlock and clinched the second straight victory for the unbeaten Lebanese quintet.
With 4.8 ticks left, Nokia-RP Youth coach Franz Pumaren called for a timeout and crafted a desperation play.
The Filipinos brought the inbound at halfcourt and put the leather on the hands of Samuel Marata, whose buzzer-beater bounced off the rim.
The Philippines absorbed its first defeat after surviving a 106-105 double-overtime scare against Chinese-Taipei the other day.
“Some table officials, whose names I will not mention, offered me their sympathetic apologies for what was obviously a ‘flop-call’ that cost us the game,” said Pumaren. “But I am not going to use this as an alibi. Such is the nature of international competition. We have to be ready for anything. Even controversial calls.”
The Philippines will have to beat winless United Arab Emirates today and pray that Chinese-Taipei yields to Lebanon to grab the No. 2 seat in Group C going to the quarterfinals.
In the event Taipei defeated Lebanon by a margin of five points or more based on the quotient system, the RP Youth squad will have to kiss its Fiba World Under-19 Championships aspirations in New Zealand next year goodbye.
Pumaren said his team, which dominated Lebanon for three quarters, still needs to develop that “killer-instinct” needed in international competition and be consistent throughout the game.
“I still believe that we have a great team with a huge heart and if they (Lebanese) beat Chinese Taipei tomorrow (today), we will meet them again in the semis and avenge this loss,” said Pumaren. June Navarro

LEBANON 87—El Nar 32, Ibrahim 24, Maatouk 9, El Khouri 7, Aoun 6, Kabbara 5, Akl 2, Moubarak 2, Zaloum 2.

RP youth team routs UAE, enters quarterfinal
The Philippine Star
The Philippine Youth team, gaining inspiration from Lebanon’s rout of Taiwan, put on a solid effort and dominated United Arab Emirates, 73-54, to barge into the quarterfinal round of the 20th FIBA Asian Junior Championship in Tehran, Iran Sunday.
Samuel Marata and Gabriel Banal came away with a flurry of triples in the second quarter as the RP boys raced to a 41-24 lead and never looked back.
Norbert Torres took care of the boards while scoring 12 points while the 6-5 Papot Paredes made a good account of himself with a solid game underneath.
"When I saw Lebanon win, I instructed the boys to give it just the right amount of effort to get the victory because they will have a big game tomorrow against a strong Korea squad," said RP team coach Franz Pumaren.
"Overall, they played decently and stuck to our plans and strategies, giving more focus and concentration this time," said Pumaren, whose wards suffered a heart-breaking 84-87 loss to Lebanon the other day.
Earlier, the Lebanese showed their readiness for the tough grind as they demolished the Taiwanese, 95-80, to likewise advance to the tournament proper.
But the RP boys will have their hands full in the quarters as they found themselves bunched with tough Japan, Korea and Iran in Group 2.
The easy win was the second in three games for the Nokia-backed RP five as it finished its elimination round campaign by placing second behind Lebanon (3-0) in Group C.
The top two teams in the four-group under-18 tournament earn berths into the next round.
The Filipinos open their quarterfinals campaign against the Koreans.
Joining Lebanon in Group 1 are defending champion China, Kazakhstan and Syria.
