MANILA, Philippines: GILAS Pilipinas has drawn up a tight, busy schedule for the coming weeks as it gears up for the tough FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia in July.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Erika Dy told the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday the Nationals will first convene on June 22 at the Inspire Sports Academy in Laguna before heading to Turkey and Poland for tune-up games with their counterparts.
The Nationals will reconvene six days before the New Zealand game on Nov. 21.'Premise ni coach Tim, we have the same roster every time. Kapag pinagsama-sama mo 'yung short training periods, maga-accumulate sila,' said Dy.'The program is working. He has secured the best talents that we have. In the past, hirap na hirap tayo. Because of this shorter training periods, mas madali mag-commit and because high-level players ang mga ito, mas madali sila mag-pickup,¨added Dy.
