Aric: We need top cagers for ABC, SEAG
August 1, 2003 | 12:00am
Coach Aric del Rosario is keeping the door open for the return of the UAAP stars in the Philippine team to the SEA Games and hopefully some of them to the ABC championship despite the recent UAAP board decision not to lend its players for the PBA Invitational, SEABA and ABC jousts.
"I need these talents to have a real good shot in winning the SEA Games and I also need these players if were to improve on our previous finish in the ABC championship," said Del Rosario.
"Hindi naman siguro lahat ng mga players na ito aabot sa UAAP Final Four. Kung bigla silang pakawalan sa amin at kung mayroon pang-time para magensayo, isasama ko pa rin sila sa ABC," Del Rosario added.
Ateneos Rich Alvarez and Wesley Gonzales, UEs Paul Artadi and James Yap, USTs Don Villamin and Alwyn Espiritu, and FEUs Mark Isip and Gerard Jones are the players affected by the UAAP board decision.
The UAAP board stressed Wednesday its commitment to the Basketball Association of the Philippines was limited only to two specific tournaments in the ABC mens championship and the SEAG, thus, it is disallowing its stars to see action in the ongoing PBA Invitational Cup and the SEABA championship later this month in Cebu.
Del Rosario said hes left with no other choice but to make do with lesser-light replacement players for the SEABA tilt following the UAAP board decision.
The RP team is now composed of Ritchie Melencio, Celino Cruz, Dennis Madrid, Loreto Soriano, Ismael Junio, Gary David, Emerson Oreta, Willy Wilson, Nelbert Omolon, Bernzon Franco, Marc Pingris, Ricky Calimag, Al Magpayo and Ronald Capati.
