00:00 I think it would do not only the team but Coach Chott himself,
00:05 if he would personally step down as a GILAS Pilipinas head coach.
00:11 For me, it's a total revamp.
00:18 Right now, the SBP won't be having its selection,
00:23 I think until after the Paris Olympics next year.
00:28 So, we have nothing to do with that, we have to make do with whoever is there.
00:35 So, I'd rather suggest that there be changes within the team, coaching-wise.
00:43 And I think we need a program director like what Tab Balduin was in the past.
00:51 I think a full-time coach and a full-time project director
00:58 who will work hand-in-hand to develop, to scout talent,
01:05 and to expose the team internationally.
01:10 During the loss against Angola, Coach Chott in the podium,
01:14 you can see it in his body language, in his facial expression.
01:18 You know, he's already affected by what's happening in the team,
01:23 by what he's receiving, the negative vibe, especially from basketball fans.
01:29 We know that Coach Chott, even before, when he speaks,
01:34 he's confident, but the past two games, he's lost that aura.
01:42 So, I think it would do not only the team, but Coach Chott himself,
01:52 he would personally step down as the Guinness Philippines Head Coach.
01:58 I don't think it's worth it for him to continue coaching the national team.
02:04 I'm saying that not because I'm mad at him,
02:09 but on a professional level, I think the team is already affected,
02:14 and himself personally.
02:16 I think it would be better for Coach Chott if he would really step down
02:20 as the Guinness Philippines Head Coach.
02:22 Our only problem here is, sorry, Dutch and Ruben,
02:26 the Asian Games, the window of preparation is only two or three weeks.
02:35 I don't know what course SBP will take, if they will retain Coach Chott as coach,
02:42 or maybe they will let Coach Tim in as a replacement,
02:48 because he's already there within the system.
02:53 I think that would do good for a while,
02:58 but I think the coaching staff and the program director are the initial steps
03:06 and needs that we need to do to change the system and program of the national team.
