Laban sa Lupang Sinilangan

Salamat mga boss at mga idol sa patuloy na pagtitiwala. Medyo concerned lang ako dahil meron lang tayong 9 total votes nung election. Hopefully dahil lang sa wala naman halos ibang nagplano tumakbo sa NT.

Anyways, heto na ang bagong season. Ngayon masusubukan kung hanggang saan na ang narating ng mga batang players natin dati. Again ang focus padin ng community ay maituloy natin ang fruits ng efforts natin the last few seasons, lalo na sa napakalaking achievement ng ating U21 team last season. Sana kayanin natin umabot sa medal rounds.

Next week ilalabas na natin ang initial roster natin. Dahil scouted naman na at monitored natin ung growth ng mga bata natin kaya medyo set na ung core group of guys natin. Excited ako na irelease ang intial roster, ang mga lalaban para sa bayan! Tuloy tuloy lang natin ang improvement natin guys. Pm Pm tayo! 😉

If I were a smart guy, I'd not contest a coach who just REVIVED the international basketball scene in the Philippines. Like seriously, we have a high ranking now and we just got the hosting rights because of your topnotch strategies, not to mention that you made the whole community be aware of the program. I would vote for someone who actually does something for the youth. However, I didn't vote because I know that you are gonna win.

P. S. Go Rios!

(Do you guys think Rios will surpass Dispo with the most games in the Seniors NT?)

Thanks for the support coach, i'm just a part of the revival though i can't even say that i was the one who started it all. BIG credits to boss ob1 for speaking out his mind. Our U21 team is doing a fantanstic (to say the least) job lead by coach NDR. The whole community has actually contributed a lot, i know we are not where we want to especially in terms of how loud the forums is. But if i could just share everything that is happening in the background, i can say that we have become a lot more active. What makes me really happy is that I am currently in communicating not only with the vets but newbies are now starting to help a lot in our NT training cause.

So this is just a shout out to all pinoy managers! Lets keep it up! :)

As to Rios, I would always stick with the legend. Lol! Dispo is just in another level. If Rios will continue to improve then we'll see. But for now, I can say Rios himself will beg off from the comparison. Hahaha! But watch out, we have someone in the pipeline who has the potential to reach Dispo levels. "Potential" that is. But i know and believe that if we continue to train with the rate we are doing its not very far in the future where we will produce Dispo's regularly. :)

Agree on most of your points coach. In addition to your thoughts about training for the Junios/Seniors National Team it would be advisable to set expectations accordingly, meaning either you focus on training your trainee or you focus on winning your division. I doubt many managers let alone anyone can handle both at the same time and it's probably easier for those with established players playing for the Seniors NT. But for managers training 18-19 year-old players IMO the Division III is a much easier platform for them to grow without too much risk of losing games, fans, finances etc. :)

Agree and agree to both coaches pro shot and ob1. I was in Div. 3 & 2 nung nakapagtrain talaga ako ng U21 and NT players. But sa PPL mahirap talaga, naging buy & sell talaga strategy ko para magsurvive sa PPL. Thinking na nga ako of going down to D2 para makapagstart na makapag focus na muna sa pagtrain ulit.

About sa harvest from U21 sa past seasons we have Rios and Fornoles as stand outs. May mga ilan din silang kabatch na okay okay naman pero iba talaga levels nung 2 na un. I think at this rate in a few more seasons pwede na natin i-set ung minimum TSP levels for NT. Ideal talaga ung sabi ni boss obi na 120 for bigs at 130 for guards & wings.

Based on my experience training in Div II, I can barely scrape the last playoff spot while ensuring consistent minutes for my trainees, kasi most of the time magiging liabilty ang trainees mo sa starting five. Unlike when I was training my only U21 player in Div III that I was at least assured he can handle the competition there. Not that I'm necessarily advocating tanking sa mga Division II teams but it will take you longer to be competitive and that should be a sacrifice you should be willing to make.

BTW quick question for those in the know, what is your minimum requirement for player potential para maabot a ng TSP requirements ng Senior NT? MVP and higher ba ideally? Thanks.

Medyo alanganin ung MVP boss, pero kung maayos pagkakadistribute ng skills kinakaya naman like ngaun sa NT natin may mga MVP's na nakakapasok kasi di nga ganun kalaki tlaga talent base natin. Pero ideally sana HOF and above.

1st game natin ngayon guys against UAE.

We are leading at the end of Q1; 30-17. Medyo pakaba ung umpisa natin good thing napagpag kaagad ang opening day jitters. Salamat sa bench firepower at sa solid debut ni Mende! (41368489) of team (203605).

Let's finish this off! :)
