La Salle vs Ateneo agad

Ako taga La Salle, pero I really don’t like them bringing in “one & done” players. I don’t like foreign players & coaches in the league, period. Dapat talaga grassroots. Look at volleyball, the best teams in the league don’t even have foreign players & it’s popularity is sky high.

personally, i'm fine w/ foreign coaches and players. we need them to elevate our game. every country in the world is embracing athletes and coaches w/ different nationalities in an effort to enrich their play, why shouldn't we?

a good example would be the entry of coach tab baldwin and coach tai bundit. they both elevated the tactics and skills of our programs in basketball and volleyball respectively. the methods and knowledge they shared w/ us have greatly benefited our athletes and their performances. in the world of sports and i guess in everything else, it's certain that those who do not adapt to the times will be condemned forever to mediocrity.

as to the current high profile wave local volleyball is riding on, that's so nice to see. but once our volleyball teams venture into the international arena, we're chopped liver precisely because past pinoy volleyball officials were very insular. they made no effort to create a venue for foreign "technology transfer" to occur.

i'd be going out on a limb here but i dare say if it weren't for bundit bringing in the thai kind of mentality and training to our shores, vball wouldn't explode and it won't have the ballistic status it's currently enjoying.

as for imports and one and done players, i have no problems w/ them as long as no league rules are broken.

I agree.

BTW good win by AdMU and UP Men's BB teams. Nabigla ata Adamson.
