MY SHORTLIST FOR THE NEW GILAS ELITE COACH

Whether Coach Chot Reyes likes it or not, he must face the fact that he is out as Gilas head coach. Whether he accepts it or not, his stint with the national team is over.

SBP created a search committee that is tasked to come up with a shortlist of candidates who are qualified to replace the emotionally unstable Chot Reyes. As a basketball fan, I have come up with my own shortlist. My shortlist includes :

1. Ramon Fernandez  - PBA's greatest player was a playing coach at the peak of his career. His experience as a bemedalled national player will serve him well in international tournaments. His tirades against Coach Chot Reyes shows his great respect for the game.

2. Boyet Fernandez - The one-time PBA Coach of the Year has won just about every tournament his teams have participated in. He led San Beda to a five-peat and gave five titles to NLEX Road Warriors in the DLeague. He currently coaches NLEX in the big league.

3. Alex Compton - The Philippine-born American coach is currently creating a miracle with his Alaska team. Surely, he must be doing something right with a team that does not have much talented players in its lineup.

4. Rajko Toroman - The original Gilas coach deserves a second look as he knows the Gilas program down to its roots. But Coach Toroman must contend with too much politics should he become Gilas coach once again.

Who are in your shortlist ?
