With Serbian coach Rajko Toroman now out of the equation, the next Smart Gilas Pilipinas head coach will come from the pool of high-profile local mentors.
Sources said Talk ‘N Text coach Chot Reyes has the inside track, but Smart Gilas operations manager Butch Antonio played it coy, saying the national team program would take off with a meeting of the minds among the four coaches in the select group.
Apart from Reyes, who recently steered the Tropang Texters to the PBA Philippine Cup crown, the other candidates are multititled PBA coaches Norman Black, Jong Uichico and Ryan Gregorio.
“We already told coach Rajko that he won’t be rehired as Smart Gilas head coach,” said Antonio.
Toroman, who steered the PH five to a fourth-place performance in the Fiba Asia Championship in Wuhan, China, last year, came to Manila last week to pick up the things he left behind in his apartment and went back to Belgade in a huff.
Antonio said there’s a need to sit down with the coaches during the ongoing 12-day PBA break before the league resumes with the import-flavored Commissioner’s Cup on Feb. 10.
“There’s no fixed date on the meeting but we have to schedule it at once,” said Antonio. “The agenda will be to establish the framework of the program from the candidates to training to tournament schedules.”
Antonio earlier hinted that the core of Smart Gilas would come from Sinag Pilipinas, a talented bunch composed mostly of collegiate players who captured the gold medal in the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.
Reyes, who has eight PBA titles in a tie for fourth with Uichico, has become a strong contender for the coaching portfolio after sitting as a Toroman assistant in the failed mission to nail an Olympic slot in London last year.

For me, not a bad choice. Assistants sana sila Black and Uichico. Sana din makuha nila ang best players meron ang Pilipinas, sa PBA, Dleague, UAAP, NCAA, etc.
ok sana si chot magaling din mag coach, pero sana bawasan nya yong kayabangan nya!

kung me green vs blue dapat meron dn mvp vs smc!
KUNG WALANG NATURALIZED NA CENTER ANG SMART GILAS NI TOROMAN, SA TINGIN NYO MAY KAPUPUNTAHAN KYA SILA?? LOL
mr antonio nag champion nga ho ang sinag tingnan nyo naman mga nkalaban nila sa seagames ang bobo sa tingin nyo may ibubuga sila sa fiba, etopo kung mabubuo nila may ibubuga sa fiba asia at fiba world:
coach: chot reyes
ass. coach:juichico
tim cone
norman black
players smart gilas 2 kung mabubuo sna
center:mc gee,douthit,slaugther
forward:fajardo,aguilar,rob reyes
small forward:k.williams,santos,norwood
shooting guard:james yap,garry david,lassiter
point guard:ryan reyes,castro,mercado
sa line up po nayan cguradung mag chachampion pilipinas sana makuha natin si mc gee sna po kunin lahat ni mvp yan sarap atang manood nang fiba nun pwedi nang pang international pilipinas!!!!wag na mraming comment sa line up nayan champion na tayo!!! kung mabubuo yan
Toroman is still the man!
ilang beses n nag coach yan PBA players p gamit wala nangyayari. kung c toroman p nalalabas talent nung mga new breed..
kung papalitan si coach toroman mas okay pa na si coach norman na lang ipalit.
coach chot reyes is the better choice among the local pool of coaches.. but still coach rajko toroman is the best choice to handle the gilas 2 in the international tournament...
BOOOOO!!! Pagkatapos ibangon ni Toroman ang RP team sa FIBA Asia, ganun na lang? basta bibitawan? Nakakabwisit lang eh.. Si Toroman na nagsabi na gusto niyang bumalik pero binalewala pa din ng mga gunggong na to.. For sure kulelat yang Gilas sa next FIBA Asia! Sheeesshh!!
napanuod ko sa jones cup noon si chot reyes ang nagcoach wala naman nangyari....nauna kasi yung yabang niya
wala naman binatbat yung si toroman eh. yung pagkakaiba lang kaya naka 4th finish yung gilas ksi mey DOUTHIT... pero yung style of play nila bulok pa rin, umiikot lang kay Douthit. Kaya naman natin kahit tayo2 lang, yung mey dugong pinoy talaga, kahihiyan lang yung pag naturalize, pinapakita na wala tayong silbi pag walang tulong ng dayuhan. ANG KELANGAN LANG EH MAG BIGAY NG PANAHON ANG MGA PLAYERS PARA SA NATIONAL POOL! hindi yung pa hiram2 lang sa mga PBA team. Mas maganda talaga dito sa pinas
grabe ang line up..haha..di kasama si lutz?
bakit si chot reyes na ano gagawin nyan eh ang lakas ng kinuha nyang mga tao nun sa pinas ah nagungulelat tau... mahilig lang manisi ng players at kagalitan...mas maganda kung si toroman good mentor,desciplinarian at magaling na coach...tingnan nyo na produce nya sa PBA mga rookie pero talo pa mga veterano gumalaw at desiplinado....OUT CHOT REYES..
Again, sa kalakarang ng hiring ng coach sa Pinas pag foreigner or outsider mainit ang mga mata ng mga local coaches. I think the key paragraph sa article na to is yong last part ng last paragraph and I quote "Reyes, as a Toroman assistant in the failed mission to nail an Olympic slot in London last year." the key word is FAILED MISSION, kaya siguro di na kinuha si Rajko but if you will see it in the positve 4th place finish is better than 8th place.

This is once again a come back disastrous to the Philippine National Basketaball!
Give one more chance for Toroman and grant his wish list of players instead of PBA's coaches taking over the national team who have no deep experiences & only small analysis in international plays of basketball .
NO WAY!!!.... TOROMAN is out... kung cnu magaling ayaw nila.... c toroman lng nakapagpaangat sa ranking... d nila ihihired ulet... nu b yan, tsaka PBA teams ayaw magphram ng mga players..
every year paibaiba ng players at coach... kya lagi kulelat eh.. pabago bago ng systema..
MGA BOBONG PILIPINO!
YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO LEARN A LESSON FROM THE PAST!
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE ALREADY TESTED FOR PBA COACHES TO HANDLE OUR NATIONAL TEAM ALL OF THEM WERE FAILURE!
SHAME ON YOU!
guys dapat meron signature campaign para coach toroman. labo talaga program ng pinas walang patutunguhan kung si coach chot lang.
makita mo naman anong pinag-iba sa mga players under coach T. nag excel talaga sa pba.
labo pa sa fog ang program smartg 2. mag globe na lang tayo.lol
hay nako 8th place uli.
we wan't coach T. back.
goodbye National Team. best finish if ever in next Fiba Asia 9th place. Bold prediction. :)
Toroman selected douthit . many people questioned it because of the height and the look but remember what he brings to the game. Toroman pushed the gilas to their best. maski si japhet nagkasilbi hindi tulad ngaun.. prove na instant superstars ung core ng gilas.. mga walang utang na loob.. mas maganda ung basketball iq ni Ato agustin kesa kay chot.. :) international coach knows better than coaches that they can do the same. remember na sa katangahan ni coach kaya natalo ung team nila dati.. dahil sa isang technical foul nya..
bobby ray parks sama nyo sa line up tapos ibalik c torroman. Gawin nyo scout c uichico kasi magaling din sya dun or norman black.
toroooman,spsp dyan sa paligid kya out troman
MGA TALUNAN..HAHAHA! SOBRA KASE BILIB NINYO KAY COACH 4TH PLACE...WALA!!KUNG WALA NATURALIZED PLAYER YAN SA KANGKUNGAN DIN PUPULUTIN YAN. HINDI TANGA SI MVP GAYA NG INIISIP NINYO. SYA ANG GUMAGASTOS SA NATIONAL TEAM NATIN KAYA SYEMPRE KAILANGAN DIN NIYANG KUMITA...ANG TAGAL NGA NAMAN NG PREPARASYON NI TOROMAN PERO KULELAT PA DIN BAKIT PA SYA KUKUNIN..KAYA MEDYO SILA NAKAKALABAN NOON DAHIL NGA MAY IMPORT HINDI DAHIL SA COACH...
Foreign Coach lng ang makakapagpachampion sa RP Team ... Wala kwenta ung mga local coaches natin walang alam sa international pang nba lng alam nilang styles hahaha Chot Reyes again kng POWERADE kaya ung team niya tapos TNT c Bo Perasol tingin niyo magchachampion POWERADE . . .
If chot coaches gilas 2, he should resign as tnt coach. otherwise, divided attention na naman and cramming ang mangyayari. maawa naman kayo sa bansa natin. sayang lang pera ni mvp kung hindi seryosohin ang gilas 2 program.
sana kung di si toroman foreign coach nalang,iba kasi talaga pag international game. maraming players sa pba ngayon ang gumaling mag laro dahil sa traning ni toroman.ganyan ang magaling na coach.katulad din ni ron jacobs
not hiring toroman is a big mistake! maybe the fact that gilas recently had a decent placing got in to their heads and felt that we do not need help anymore. maybe politics got in the way. maybe it's a case of them being overly nationalistic to the point of hindering potential. no one really knows for sure but them. im not saying that our local coaches are not good enough, but i do believe that we still have a lot to learn from toroman. and chot reyes as head coach? i say we're doomed!
i agree na ang ipalit yung di tumitingin sa school or organization na kinabibilangan kung hindi ay kung ano ang kelangan ng national team. I think, the best option is Jong Uichico or Tim Cone. Chot Folds on big games, ang i am talking about international games. Iba sya magcoach pagnasa PBA sya pero sira ang diskarte nya pag international na. saka isa siya sa may kasalanan kung bakit tayo natalo nung panahon ni Cone. Siya ang assigned magscout sa Korea nung panahon ni Cone and di sya nagscout. Nung panahon ni Jong, alam ko (this needs to be verified) sya din ang naka-assign magscout sa Korea and hindi nya nascout ng mabuti yung pumatay sa atin sa dying seconds ng game. tapos nung turn nya, nagfold sya against Iran. that was a crucial game and as usual di sya nagscout ng maigi dun.
Chot folds at the wrong time, and each time he is given the chance but he continually fold. I believe mas may bayag si Cone or si Jong to continue what they did then.
Otherwise, let Noli Eala take the lead in assembling the next PHL NT as i believe he has the true and honest passion just like DAN PALAMI, to pursue the dream of every Filipino to have a Filipino represent ASIA in the Olympics and in the world.
Siya nga assistant coach ni Coach Toroman ng previous Smart Gilas pero halos wala naman siya lagi pag merong tournament, isang beses ko lang siya nakita sa FIBA championship lang kasi andun siya lage sa mother team niya sa PBA...
So paano niya malalaman yung strategy ni Coach Toroman eh wala naman siya sa bench ni coach lage...
Mr Manny Pangilinan ibalik niyo na lang poh si Toroman bka by this time he will learn to his some mistake the best na coach yan.siya lang ang makakapagangat ng pilinas sa fiba basketboll ...just to think twice before you decide ...
The new gilas will never succeed as far as the original gilas did, not even close, with the plan management has in mind. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
players smart gilas 2 kung mabubuo sna
center:mc gee,douthit,slaugther
forward:fajardo,aguilar,rob reyes
small forward:k.williams,santos,norwood
shooting guard:james yap,garry david,lassiter
point guard:ryan reyes,castro,mercado
<-- NAKAKATAWA NAMAN ITONG LINEUP NATO!!!
ROB REYES?? ARWIND SANTOS?? NORWOOD AT JAMES YAP??? sa tingin mo uubra yan mga yan sa ball movement, at shooting skills na kelangan sa international games!!! dami ngang balibag tae ni arwind santos e, norwood naman highest paid player sa PBA pero 6 pts lang ang average.. kakahiya naman lineup mo!!!
sabog nnman
This is a very stupid chice.
Please learn a lesson from the past.
Another disappointment will be once again for Filipino basketball fans if PBA coaches handle our National team!
Where are we now- still at the level of Chinese Taipe, Japan and Qatar.
lahat naman kc ng bansa d2 sa asya gumgling ng magbasketbol... pano natin mssabi n kung gnitong line up mag champion n agad, at kung si gntong coach champion n agad? E lahat naman ng bansa gus2 din mag champion dba? ang dapat lng cguro nating gawin lagpasan ung prepartion at dedication ng ibang bansa s asya, kc s talent ndi namn tau papahuli at xempre s tlino din dba?..konting suporta lng mula mismo s ating mga pilipino.. oks n un...
please wag na si chot kung maari lang, paki usap lang po kasi busy yan sa TNT, papaano ba at kinuha si Jong kung di na rin lang o kaya si Norman na lang. sana lang po at yung mga guards dapat 6ft pataas at yung center at power forward natin, sa tingin ko lang po, di po naman ako henyo ng basketbol kagaya ng marami dito :-) peace!
Ok sana si chot kaso nung last time na nag-coach siya in-overtrain nia ung national team... Sayang c toroman, pero kung wla na talaga, try natin c Black, kahit hindi super talented ang Ateneo squad, kayang-kaya nia pa-championin ng paulit-ulit which means effective ang coaching style nia pati blend of complementary players..
c coach ryan nlang ipalit kay rajko. . .
btw; MALAYSIA IS CATCHING UP, MAYBE IN 5 YEARS TIME PANTAY NA TAYO NG MALAYSIA...
-DI SGURO KASI KUMUKUHA PA SILA NG IMPORT SA TIN SA ABL. NA WALA NG CAREER SA PBA..TYAKA, SINAG LANG PINADALA NATIN DI NILA KAYA..
sad news for the Philippine basketball. Toroman is expert on international games... bad move by Mr. MVP...
hindi niya nadala sa mataas na rango ang smart gilas for me tim conr and yeng guiao
hindi niya naman nadala ang smart gilas sa mataas na ranggo for me tim cone and yen guiao
Anu Ba Yan! Okay na si Rajko Toroman na coach eh bakit tinanggal pa? si Chot Reyes already got his chance to coach the national team before at wala palpak sya! eh nung si Toroman ang naging coach eh nag improved ang team... tsk tsk tsk.. a big loss to philippine basketball itong news na ito...
Wala na namang pag-asa ang Philippine team. Siguradong makakapasok na sana tayo sa World Championship next year kung Smart Gilas Gilas 1 ang ipapadala with the same coach on Toroman with the addition of 2 big men from the PBA. Wala na namang gana manood ng PBA nito. Sigurado 9th place finish na naman tayo....
umandar na naman ang "colonial mentality" ng mga tao dito. mahiya naman kayo sa mga balat niyo. kapwa pilipino, pinu- putdown nyo....??? pilipino ba kayo o taga-serbia? ang korea, korean ang coach nila...wala silang foreign coach pero hindi tayo makatalo talo man lang sa team nila. hindi sa coach ang issue dito kundi sa "composition ng team" at sa "length of preparation". hindi basta-basta ng coach si chot. nandyan pa si black, uichico at gregorio. invited din si cone na sumali. it's a matter of gathering things and putting them together. we have the resources, its just a question of how we put them all together. if you have comments or suggestions e-mail nyo kay mvp o kay sonny barrios. magtulungan tayo mga basketball fans. ang batikos hindi makakatulong yan, typical pinoy trait na dapat burahin na natin para umasenso tayo, kahit sa basketball man lang muna.
choke reyes?????? again????? baka 14th place pa tayo nyan!!!!!what a choice!!!!!!
wag mag yabang ung mga gilas fans jan naging 4thplace lng ung gilas dahil sa naturalize player un lng un at wlang kinalaman si toroman kahit sinong coach ng phil ang ipadala sa fiba kya rin nilang manalo basta may naturalize player
si Ravena at Parks lang ang pde sa gilas, c monfort baka isama pa yun eh napakaliit nun para sa international.
chot reyes kilabutan ka nmn ibigay mo n lng sa mas deserving sau wag k na magpanggap
bobo tlaga sbp,BALIK N NMAN SA DATI,KULELAT S FIBA...bring back TOROMAN,asarrrrrrr
ayos 7th to 8th place finish n naman ito...well done SBP...pwe
eh kung yung team china nga eh foreign yung coach eh wala ng mangyayari sa smart gilas 2 nyan na politika na naman eh nakaka bwisit na ang basketball dito sa pilipinas puro kayabangan!
Bring back toroman.
alam nyo kasi nung time ni coach chot en mga magagaling na PBA players yung team ng pinas, wala pa ring focus sa national team yun. almost 1 month lang yata preparation nila, masyado lang kumpyansa. ok naman style ni coach chot, kung mey DOUTHIT lang nung time niya eh baka 1st place pa yun. bulok yung style ni TOROMAN, si DOuthit lang nagpa galing sa team niya na puro GUARD.. tama lang na ndi na ibalik si toroman, paano natin malalaman ang buong kakayahan ng TEAM PINAS kung ndi tayo mag ttry ng iba. mas maganda talaga dito sa pinas.
Wag na tyo masyadong umasa sa PBA owners at PBA players. Kahit sino pa coach, kahit mangulelat pa, basta makita na buong puso naglalaro, susuportahan ko pa din ang national team. Ang PBA ginagamit lang ng mga negosyante to promote/advertise their product. Walang pakialam kung magimprove o bumaba ang quality ng basketball. Kung baga una muna ang kita bago ang passion sa sports. Pasalamat nlng tayo merong MVP na nagtataguyod ng sports sa Pilipinas.
1.. Easy lang kayo! di maiiwasan ang red tape and politics kahit saan organization..di pa naman tayo nakakasiguro na may ebidensiya na biktima nga ng politics si Toroman...
2.Ang problema sa inyo di pa nga nabubuo yung coaching staff at nakakapili ng mga bagong players talo na agad..hintayin nyo muna bumuo ng line-up hanggang judgement day ng Fiba World Qualifying kung talagang uubra ang mga local coaches natin sa Fiba...
3.Kung i compare natin ang mga local coaches natin sa mga foreign counterparts nila...malayo na ang narating ng mga foreign coaches and bibilang pa ng maraming cavan ng bigas bago mahabol nila Yeng at chot yung skills ng mga fiba coach..
4..Wag muna tayo umasa agad na mag qualify tayo sa World basketball and Olympics...tanggapin na natin ang katotohan we need to add more size,skills, focus and long term commitment para ma-achive yung slot sa fiba worlds and olympics.
5. Future Gilas will qualify in Olympics and Fiba World not in our time and sa current leadership ng sbp...malamang bibilang tayo ng taon at dekada para mangyari yun...habaan lang ang pasensiya...let us enjoy the basketball game.
rajko toroman is still the best option.. what a waste this MVP people are doing..
well if only chot can make mcgee play for gilas, then fine..but if not, please bring back toroman!

SAKTO!!!!
Ok saken local coach sa gilas II. PERO A BIG NO NO to Chot Reyes.
A rag tag team of Petron nahirapan siyang manalo. Breaks lang ng game t naka chamba siya.
Alalahanin natin na walang best of 7 sa FIBA Asia.
Dahil sa spsp niya kay MVP siniraan niya si Toroman.
Si CHOT REYES ang pinaka WEAK na nag COACH ng NATIONAL TEAM natin. Tim Cone and Norman Black are better.
Pinolitika, siniraan marahil ni CHOT REYES si TOROMAN sa harapan ni MVP kaya siya na ngayon ang COACH ng NATIONAL TEAM.
Ang BOBO ng SBP.
sorry but i've just given up philippine basketball. we'll never be any good in this sport again. :(
LOOSERS!!!!!!!!TALUNAN!!!!!!!! Philippine Basketball-like politics in the Philippines, ningas kugon. Chot-coach???Hmmmmn better hire Jordan coach-Baldwin!
wagas!!! ang basketbol ng pilipinas
its more fun in the philippines
Ok naman si Coach Toroman. Ang problema nga lang di maibigay ang mga kailangan niyang mga player. Maganda na sana ang sistema tuloy tuloy lang. Para na naman tayong bumalik sa kinder.
haha kaya inalis si toroman kc gusto ni mvp ung mga players lng nea ang kunin sa national team (ateneo, san beda, tnt, meralco)..kapag si toroman ang coach gusto nea ng competitive na mga players..sabi ni toroman dati he will accept ung offer at contract pero titignan muna nea ang mga players na involve sa program.
.kaya nga inalis sya eh pra mvp players and coaches lng ang kukunin..
.sbp = mvp....yan ang tama..buti pa si noli eala totoo cya haha kaya nagresign nalang nun dahil nag.iiba na ang landas si mvp..makasarili na kc cya ginagamit lang nea kuno ang national team....
much better si Tim Cone or si Norman Black... ecombine nila and runing game at triangle system with military discipline ni toroman din i am sure kaya yan ng pinoy... but we need a whole bunch of team players... yung merun talaga amor sa bayan maglaro din yung willing makipagpalitan ng mukha sa definsa agains bigger players ng asya... yung ala caloy loyzaga na player na even if import cya sa Brazil but bibitawan nya contract nya para bumalik sa pinas to serve mother country...
~ ritche rich
gawa kaya kayo ng campaign to bring back coach t :D
Tim Cone na lang! Triangle Offense is very effective sa international play. Remember the 98 Centennial Team? Kulang lang talaga tayo sa size noon.
this is such a sad and bad news. asking for Help from a non-Filipino is no shame. That's having pride for the wrong reasons. Toroman made the RP team known again after so long and he's willing to fight with us to reach that Olympic dream. What's so shameful bout that. I think this isn't bout Filipino pride but politics and greed for attention that they don't deserve. I hope they prove us wrong with this move for the RP Basketball because my prediction is were going down. AGAIN.

================================================
I agree with you! To those who are playing the "nationalism card" here, don't you realize that China has an American coach? Nakaaway nga ni Toroman yun last year!
Why did they employ an non-Chinese? Because they're looking ahead! They want to become world champions or Olympic champions one day and they know that a Chinese coach won't be able to take them there (well, not yet anyway), that's why they hired an American coach so that: 1) the Chinese team would realize their goals in the short term; and 2) in the long term, they will learn whatever they can from that American coach so that one day, a Chinese coach will once again hold the reigns of the Chinese team.
Yan ang gusto kong mangyari sa Philippine team kaya gusto ko si Toroman ang maging coach para mas mapabilis din yung pag-angat ng team standing natin. At higit sa lahat, matuto tayo ng international coaching tactics/techniques para isang araw, Pinoy na rin ulit ang maging coach ng PHL team!!!! Yan ang tamang nationalism!
