In his twitter account, Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes (@coachot) recently twitted this:
It readily appears that Coach Chot laments -- or perhaps he must have felt frustrated -- that the Philippine contingent to the FIBA World Cup may likely have insufficient time to prepare for the international tilt scheduled this September 19 to October 4. One month of rigorous training -- the whole of August, at most -- doesn't sound like much, especially when compared to the training period of the Philippine team's 'perennial rival,' South Korea, which Gilas trounced during the 2013 FIBA Asia. SoKor's training will start as early as April. What does this mean for Gilas Pilipinas?
