Jersey without names on the back is a respect to the teamwork.

SBP bares Smart-Gilas plan up toAsiad
By Joaquin Henson (The Philippine Star) Updated August 31, 2009 12:00AM
MANILA, Philippines - It's a long, hard road to Guangzhou but SBP executive director Noli Eala said yesterday there's no short cut to success indisclosing the tough Smart-Gilas program that will culminate in coach Rajko Toroman's Asian Games debut with the national team next year.
Eala said the ultimate goal is for the Philippines to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics and that will mean topping the FIBA-Asia Championships the yearbefore. Manila is bidding to host the FIBA-Asia conclave but faces stiff opposition from Jordan and Lebanon. Jordan was supposed to host the FIBA-Asiatournament this year but was bumped off by China in a late decision. Jordan's consolation was finishing third in Tianjin and earning an outright ticket tothe World Championships in Turkey next year.
Eala said he is now preparing a power-point summary on the hosting details to be presented to the FIBA-Asia Executive Board before the year ends. Aside fromthe opposition from Jordan and Lebanon, Eala said Manila has to convince FIBA-Asia that there will be no repeat of the disastrous hosting of the 2005 ChampionsCup here by the defunct Basketball Association of the Philippines.
Toroman, who earned for Iran a ticket to the Beijing Olympics, has kept busy conducting practices for the Smart-Gilas players not involved in any collegiateleague at the moment. They are Chris Tiu, Jason Ballesteros, Jayvee Casio and Mac Baracael. The practices are held jointly with the PBA club Talk 'N'Text.
C. J. Giles, a candidate for naturalization, will arrive in Manila either today or tomorrow to join Toroman's workouts.
The first stop in the long, hard road is a game against the Singapore Slingers, who play in Australia's National Basketball League, in the Lion City onSept. 23. Giles, Tiu, Ballesteros, Casio and Baracael will play in the exhibition contest with Talk 'N' Text practice cagers Gec Chia, Gilbert Lao,Emerson Oreta and Jonathan Aldave. Japeth Aguilar will be invited to play for Smart-Gilas in Singapore.
Eala said he is also arranging a game against the Singapore national team for Smart-Gilas during the trip.
In October, Smart-Gilas will play as a guest entry in the PBA Philippine Cup. By then, Eala said Toroman's lineup will be reinforced by collegiaterecruits. Eala said the varsity players expected to suit up for Smart-Gilas include Rabeh Al-Hussaini, Junmar Fajardo, Greg Slaughter, Paul Lee, Mark Barroca,Dylan Ababou, J. R. Cawaling, Aldrech Ramos, R. J. Jazul and Rey Guevara.
In December, Eala said Smart-Gilas will compete in the prestigious international invitational Haarlem tournament in Amsterdam. A high-qualtiy US teamusually participates in the meet along with pro clubs from Europe. Then, there is another international competition featuring West Asia and Gulf nations inDubai early next year.
In March, Smart-Gilas will set up training camp in Australia where Toroman hopes to arrange scrimmages with NBL teams. Melbourne-based FIBA president BobElphinston and former Australian national coach Brian Goorjian, now an assistant with China, have assured Eala of their cooperation in arranging the camp. Thatwill also be the month when Fil-Ams are expected to enlist. Marshall University senior Chris Lutz, who was here for several weeks recently to joinToroman's practices, is definitely playing for Smart-Gilas. Other Fil-Ams in the radar are Sean Anthony of McGill University, Stanley Pringle of Penn Stateand Nico Monachini of Trinity Western.
"We were planning a trip to Australia in April but Mr. Elphinston suggested to advance our trip to March so we can catch the NBL teams still fresh outof their season," said Eala. "Coach Rajko is interested in learning more about Australia's defense which is probably the best in internationalcompetition today."
From Australia, the team will relocate to Serbia where Toroman plans to work on offense with crack local squads. Then, it will move to the US for strengthand conditioning at Joe Abunassar's gym. In October, Eala said he hopes to put together a US college Midwest tour similar to what coach Tim Cone arrangedfor the Centennial national team in 1998.
"Our target is to expose the team to 40 to 50 international games before Guangzhou," said Eala. "It's a tall order but that's what ittakes to get ready for the big guns in Asia."
Eala revealed that if the Powerade team finished at least fourth in Tianjin, he would've recommended to the SBP Board to continue with the PBA route forinternational representation, provided Toroman is the national coach.
"But that would have also meant the PBA agreeing to a season from September to March so April to August could be freed up for internationalexposure," explained Eala. "We would've been ready to talk to the PBA on a long-term basis except it would've meant a radical change in itsschedule."
Eala said six years ago, the idea was broached of the PBA representing the country in international tournaments on a continuing basis if it could alter theseason calendar and operate a one-conference format.
"We admire the PBA's talent level which is the best in Asia but we also realize there are inherent constraints in the PBA representing our countryin international competitions," said Eala. "Of course, now that Smart-Gilas is in the hotseat, there's a lot of pressure for the team todeliver."

THERE IS A LOT BEING WRITTEN about Japeth Aguilar these past few days.
The present situation he created has caused a stir in the PBA and mirrored the state of professional and amateur basketball in the country today.
* * *
Allow me to set the stage of what I think led to the Japeth controversy.
National team coach Yeng Guiao, who also coaches Burger King, first offered the US-based Aguilar a slot in the national team.
Since the first round draft choice belonged to Burger King, which has this propensity to offer players to bigger teams, it was natural for a coach to want a player of Japeth's caliber to also play for him in the PBA.
(It is also worth noting that Yeng and Aguilar come from the same province where Yeng is reportedly set to run for governor in the coming elections. It would be a boost to his campaign if he had Aguilar in the national team and in the PBA as well.)
In return, Japeth and his family had to naturally agree that he join the PBA draft and be picked by Yeng's team.
So you can see, there was a meeting of the minds.
* * *
But when Aguilar did come home and train with the nationals, he saw the other side of the coin.
I know this for a fact because my son had closely monitored the national team and he saw that Aguilar was not happy with its practice regimen.
All this time, the Smart Gilas RP five of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas was also going after Aguilar, who actually played for the squad in tune-up games in Las Vegas.
The Smart Gilas style appealed to him, but Aguilar nevertheless kept his end of the agreement with Guiao by applying for the PBA rookie draft.
I even heard that Yeng lent him his personal car. I don't think a coach would do that if there was no "meeting of the minds."
So Japeth was drafted by Burger King and was included in the national team that played in the Fiba Asia championship in Tianjin, China where he was fielded sparingly.
When he came back, he reported all that he saw and went through to his dad Peter, a former national cager himself and PBA player, who is now based in Chicago.
I'm sure it was a hard decision for the family but after all that their son witnessed and experienced, it seemed to them a wise decision for Japeth not to honor his agreement with coach Yeng.
* * *
You see, the PBA is now developing a new and different face.
The top teams, led by the San Miguel conglomerate, seem to be able to get whatever they want.
The restrictions of player trades are no longer followed because it is tolerated by going through a third party.
Some of the teams have given up catching with the richer squads. While they get good draft choices, they eventually sell them to the top teams.
This is the present condition in the PBA and the Commissioner's office is allowing these situations and has decided not to do anything about it because they want to keep their jobs.
And this is the scenario that is staring Japeth in his face.
It doesn't take a nuclear scientist to see the possibility that after one conference or even a year or two, even if he was in contract with Burger King, he could eventually be traded just like Arwind Santos. The league has no rules to protect a player from this situation.
* * *
It has been common knowledge that Japeth always wanted to play for the country. He was also quoted as saying that even if his rights were traded or sold to other teams, including Talk 'N Text, he would not play until his services are no longer required by the national team. This is a trait that should be commended not condemned. Let us not crucify the young man for putting his country above a PBA team.
He also figures that for him to improve as a player, he would benefit more playing with the national team, which would benefit in turn from using his talent.
And I agree with him in that sense.
So I say "Go, Japeth, go."
You will hurt a few people but you will please many more of our countrymen for being idealistic and for wanting to serve the country the proper way at this point in your life. You still have a good number of amateur years before you jump into the pool of pros where commercialism and materialism truly run the league, at least for now.

Go Japeth! He made a mistake in enlisting in the draft but the calling to play for the country should always come first. Only BK will benefit from him playingin the PBA rather than an entire nation.
I read in the comments section of one site, this guy was wishing Japeth to ACL both knees; it's just sad that some Filipinos would wish for that. He made amistake; let's forgive him, a fresh grad is prone to making mistakes like these. Let him play for gilas and don't ban him from the PBA.

Basketball leagues stage charity games for 'Ondoy' victims
Written by Joel Orellana / Reporter
Monday, 28 September 2009 19:39
THE basketball community is lending a helping hand to the victims of Typhoon Ondoy by staging two charity games involving the country's major leagues,dubbed "Pinoy Basketball, Kakampi Ninyo," on October 5 at the Araneta Coliseum.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) executive director Noli Eala made the announcement on Monday after meeting with representatives of the PhilippineBasketball Association (PBA), Philippine Basketball League (PBL), Liga Pilipinas, University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and NationalCollegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
The first game will feature a selection of UAAP and NCAA players against a selection from the PBL and Liga Pilipinas.
The highlight match will be the duel between the PBA-backed Team Pilipinas and the Smart Gilas of the SBP under Serbian coachRajko Toroman.
"Araneta has agreed to give the venue for free. We will donate all the proceeds from the tickets," said Eala.
"We are also asking all the leagues to donate rubber shoes or rubber slippers and we all decided to give the donation to ABS-CBN Foundation," headded.
Details of the charity games, including ticket prices, are still being discussed.
The participation of players from Ateneo and University of the East, which are disputing the UAAP crown on Thursday, however,remains doubtful, as well as players from NCAA teams vying in the Final Four seedings.
The centerpiece match offers a major side event-Japeth Aguilar who up to now refuses to sign up with Burger King. The PBAbanned Aguilar from the Philippine Cup, where Smart Gilas is a guest team.
The PBA-backed Team Pilipinas finished eighth in the Tianjin (China) Asian championship and failed to qualify for the world championship in Turkey in 2010.Smart Gilas, on the other hand, is a developmental team that will vie in the 2011 Asians for a possible slot in the 2012 London Olympics.
