PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios stressed the importance of the FIBA-Asia tourney on September 2009 because it will select the qualifier for the World Championship in 2010.
Thus, the next season will only feature the usual Philippine Cup and the Fiesta Conference, which will end in June to give at least a two-month preparation for the national quintet, according to Barrios.
“As per our agreement with the SBP (Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas), it will be the coach that will be tasked with selecting the players who will compose the team,” said Barrios during yesterday’s SCOOP weekly session at the Kamayan Restaurant in Padre Faura.
He said the PBA board gave him a free hand to select the head coach of the RP team, which could only finished at a dismal ninth place in Tokushima, Japan in 2007.
