Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes pinpointed the lack of preparation and the unavailability of key players as the recurring issues that ultimately contributed to the team’s downfall in recent tournaments.Reyes said they did their best to make do with the cards that they have but it was just too hard to field a team that was missing its best players and had little preparation time.
“We’re trying our best as the coaching staff to expedite, put together the team it takes time for people to play together, play within a system. We’re playing against teams here who are already veteran, established teams. It was really difficult. We really tried our best but di talaga kaya unfortunately,” added the national team mentor who also serves as the Gilas program director.
While Jordan Clarkson’s return to the national team along with the availability of PBA players would somehow address those issues for the fourth window, Reyes is set to face the same problems come the fifth window in November when most of his players won’t be available since collegiate leagues and the PBA are playing by then.
