Philippines national basketball team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Philippine National Basketball Team is a team currently under suspension by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) after a series of disagrements between the Philippine Olympic Committee and the Basketball Association of the Philippines which is still going on as of this writing. While both parties, with the involvement of the Philippine Basketball Association, the Philippine Basketball League, the UAAP and the NCAA, reportedly agreed on an agreement on the formation of a new national team, things soon returned to the usual verbal war. The Philippines was suspended by the International Basketball Federation on July 2005 after a long standing feud between the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Philippine_national_basketball_team   (655 words)

JobMarket Online : People at Work IN 1993, then 29-year-old Vincent "Chot" Reyes coached in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) for the first time and led the Purefoods team to bag the championship title. This proves that a team leader can attend all the programs, learn all the techniques and go to all the team-building seminars but if he or she does not know who the team is, everything else fails. When Reyes' Coca-Cola Tigers team in the PBA won the All-Filipino Cup championship, it became a historic achievement because they were the first team to gain the title on their first year in the league. jobmarket.inq7.net /people/people.php?artdate=2005-03-10&artnum=2   (1027 words)

RP TEAM RETURNS HOME FROM ITALY TONIGHT Italian team manager Claudio Silvestri thanked the PBA for accepting the FIP’s invitation to participate in the Sondrio tournament which was free to the public and not supervised by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

-+::UAAP University Athletics Association of the Philippines Official Website::+- THE issue of commitment to the national basketball team was brought to life again in the past week after the University Athletic Association of the Philippines board barred its stars from suiting up in three tournaments in preparation for the RP campaign in the Southeast Asian Games this December in Vietnam. They are not recruited to play in the national team,” said Mariano, who wore the RP colors 12 times in his illustrious basketball career. Now the head coach of Philippine Christian University in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Mariano explained that during his time, members of the RP five came from different commercial leagues and not from school-based leagues–the reason the commitment of the national players was never questioned back then. www.uaapgames.com /news080303.shtml   (453 words)
