I am one of those who strongly demanded that Gilas head coach Chot Reyes be removed from the Philippine men's basketball team. His instruction to his players to shoot at the opponent's basket, for me, is just unacceptable.
But with the on-going disastrous performance of volleyball head coach Roger Gorayeb in VTV Cup, I must admit that Coach Chot deserves so much more credit than what I am willing to give him.
For one, Coach Chot prepares his team well for any coming tournament. He really makes sure that his team trains abroad by competing against foreign teams. Despite not getting all the players that he wants to be part of his team, Coach Chot is able to bring out the best in his players to make one formidable unit. The performance of Gilas in the World Cup in Spain is a testament of Coach Chot's professionalism and dedication to his craft.
But more impoortantly, Coach Chot knows very well his responsibility to his countrymen. He knows that he must bring pride and honor to millions of Filipinos worldwide, at all cost. Despite the losses absorbed by his team, Coach Chot can hold his head up high to anyone as his team showed that that Filipinos can compete with the best in the world in a game where Filipinos are not given a ghost of a chance.
Mabuhay ka, Coach Chot Reyes !
