		BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION of the Philippines, Inc. (BAPI) secretary general Nic Jorge on Monday urged the Philippine Basketball Association and the Philippine Basketball League to have a direct involvement in the formation of future national teams in line with the proposed set up under its “basketball superbody’’ approach.

		At the same time, Cojuangco declared the Philippine Basketball Federation, Inc. is the recognized national association for basketball in the country, adding the new cage body will run the affairs of the sport until it is recognized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

		In his response, however, Cojuangco said the BAP is playing footsies with the PBA to dramatize its bogus proprietary claim to national interest and drum up public interest at a time when sports enjoys wider media mileage in view of the fact the country is hosting the Southeast Asian Games in November.
