SBP to hold tryout for Seaba-bound squad

/ 07:19 AM April 21, 2012

IN THEIR EFFORT to come up with a competitive squad that will compete in the Southeast Asian Basketball Association (Seaba) qualifying tournament, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) will start holding tryouts today at the Multi-purpose Arena in Pasig.

This was announced by SBP executive director Sonny Barrios as he also communicated with the UAAP and the NCAA to seek their support in forming the national team that will see action on June 24 to 30 in Singapore.

The team will be coached by former PBA star Olsen Racela, with the main goal of reaching the 22nd FIBA Asia U18 Championship for Men from Aug. 17 to 26 in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia.

In letters addressed to Rev. Fr. Tamerlane Lana O.P., rector and president of Colegio de San Juan de Letran, and 2012 chairman Junel Baculi of National University, Barrios bared plans of the Philippine coaching staff to tap some players from both leagues for the 24-man national pool./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
