00:00 "Tama na, sobra na, ikaw na mismo ang bumitaw."
00:04 We're done with the so-called excuses,
00:09 the explanations after each loss.
00:12 We're done with the so-called "chotrayes."
00:16 Coach Chotrayes,
00:24 I think that's enough.
00:27 You don't have anything to prove.
00:30 You've already contributed a lot to GILAS,
00:33 you've already earned a lot of legacy,
00:35 you've already earned a lot of honor,
00:37 you've already earned a lot of championships,
00:39 and you're one of the many Coach of the Year awards.
00:43 But our GILAS coaching is no longer for you.
00:48 For me, as well as the SBP,
00:51 as well as the players of GILAS,
00:53 who are being blamed and bashed
00:56 because of the lack of a team system,
00:59 that should be blamed to the coaching staff headed by you.
01:03 We just lost a goal in the SEA Games,
01:06 a few years back, people were asking for your resignation.
01:09 But you still got close to your position.
01:12 We even reached the World Cup,
01:15 so in the end, what people are expecting to happen,
01:19 it really happened.
01:20 Think about it, we were 0-3,
01:22 the goal that was lower in our ranking, we lost.
01:25 There are games that we could've won,
01:27 but we couldn't adjust.
01:29 Because our coaching staff, headed by you, couldn't adjust.
01:34 You know what, Coach Chot Reyes,
01:36 you should go back to the system of the graduates of that day.
01:40 Listen to the mob.
01:42 Listen to what people want.
01:45 Follow what people want.
01:47 If they say, "Shoot your enemy," shoot them.
01:51 In your situation, if they say, "Let go of him,"
01:54 don't let them say that you filed for resignation,
01:57 but the SPB didn't accept you.
01:59 Because if you gave them an irrevocable resignation,
02:03 they can't do anything.
02:04 Did you do that? No.
02:06 Now, Coach Chot, save your legacy, please.
02:10 Have mercy.
02:11 As long as we remember your successes in basketball,
02:14 and we don't get covered by the next steps of our line.
02:19 Here, Coach Chot, if you still don't notice,
02:22 your incompetence as GILAS Coach,
02:26 I can say that we're 0-3 now.
02:28 Jordan Clarkson, no matter what, played well under Coach Yeng Giau.
02:33 But why did you get a penalty?
02:36 The public is also bashing you.
02:38 Kai Soto, against Korea and some other teams,
02:42 when he played under Coach Tav, he was utilized well.
02:46 To you, it's an egg.
02:48 To you, they're pushing you.
02:50 Now, my point here, Coach Chot Reyes,
02:53 since Clarkson is our anointed naturalized player,
02:57 we even trusted Brownlee and Anshuame,
03:00 you should've adjusted.
03:02 It shouldn't happen that Clarkson doesn't know his teammates.
03:07 When you anointed Clarkson as our naturalized player,
03:12 you brought our players to America,
03:14 so he can be with Utah,
03:16 wherever he goes, he'll know them.
03:20 We didn't wait for him,
03:22 and when he came to China, he didn't have a visa.
03:25 And one more thing, you shouldn't fight with the players.
03:28 We had a lot of issues, a lot of drama.
03:31 This is the point here,
03:33 if the player doesn't want to play, don't chase him.
03:36 If the player is injured, don't wait for him.
03:40 Because, like Scottie Thompson, who was injured, we waited for him.
03:44 His deconditioning came out in the league,
03:47 and in the World Cup.
03:49 But I said, before there's a problem with the players,
03:53 with some other individuals in our national team,
03:56 that should be solved.
03:58 And with your personality, I know you're tough.
04:01 I know you have pride in yourself.
04:04 That's one of the problems.
04:07 And one more thing, Coach Chot,
04:09 your dribble and drive is not copied in present day basketball.
04:13 Our dribble and drive became effective from way, way back.
04:17 From almost 10 years ago,
04:19 because you have Jason Castro and Jimmy Alapag in your team.
04:23 Now, you don't have any.
04:25 You don't have a point guard, so you forced your dribble and drive.
04:28 We often play small ball in games.
04:31 Our opponent was big against Italy last night, you played small ball.
04:34 You played a great game of Junmar.
04:36 Your system, Coach Chot,
04:39 you put it in the available players in your lineup.
04:44 And aside from that, the players you brought,
04:47 the players who should play for the GILAS.
04:51 Let's go back to what I said a few weeks back.
04:54 You brought the best of the best.
04:56 But 3-point shooter, point guard, defender, we don't have any.
05:01 This is what I can say about our GILAS program.
05:04 I hope we prepare a real program.
05:08 Let's make a team of GILAS only.
05:11 Let's not rely on PBA.
05:14 Because PBA will not adjust their schedule
05:17 because they also have a business that is being protected.
05:21 Let's form a team like what we did with GILAS of Tricotoroman and Tavvaluin.
05:28 We already have our own players.
05:30 The challenge is heavier now.
05:32 Because our players who will be the judges,
05:35 the amateur and the collegiate, are already being picked by other leagues.
05:39 But if you pay Jordan Clarkson 1 million dollars
05:43 and Kai Soto 300,000 dollars,
05:46 why don't you spread out there
05:48 so you won't let the players of those leagues be poached abroad
05:52 just like Japan,
05:54 that benefits from the transfer of technology that our players gave there.
05:59 We should make our own GILAS.
06:02 San Miguel Group and the MVP Group can face it.
06:06 They can face the force of wealth that they have joined
06:10 even America is getting from our players.
06:13 And SBP should be the one who is getting angry now
06:17 because of what happened to our team.
06:19 You are pitiful because you are the one who is spending money.
06:22 You are the one who is not sleeping for the preparation of the hosting.
06:25 But you are the one who is blaming.
06:27 All because you let the capriccio of one person
06:31 go.
06:32 We should change the GILAS.
06:36 Coach Chot Reyes,
06:38 they said it in the 1980s,
06:40 "Tama na, sobra na, save whatever pride you have there for yourself."
06:46 You are the one who is letting it go.
06:49 We are done with the so called excuses.
06:54 Your explanations after each loss.
06:58 We are done with the so called excuses.
07:02 And I hope after this,
07:04 the drama of GILAS Pilipinas
07:08 headed by Chot Reyes will end.
07:11 That is the wish of the people.
07:13 That is the wish of the public.
07:16 Tama na, Coach Chot.
