[edit] Tournaments

Tournament not necessary to be in the article of the Philippines national basketball team

  • The William Jones Cup is not a major and regional competition for national teams - its a rather national teams and club teams competition and the Philippines national team only played in 1998 and the recent ones 2005 and 2006 tournaments.
  • The FIBA Asia Champions Cup is a major tournaments for the best club teams in Asia and therefore it should not be in this article. Although the Philippine squads that played in 1984, 1985 and 2005 tournaments were the entire national team but they played in the tournament as a club team, known as the San Miguel Philippines, not as a national team.
  • The Brunei Cup is an invitational tournament, its not a regional tournament and it just happened that the national team played in this tournament. Just because the national team is about to win it for the second time, it doesn't mean we have to put it in the article. Although, we can mention it in the 2005-present section.

That's all thanks!... peads 02:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'm for deleting the Champions Cup and the Brunei Cup. I am still to be convinced about the Jones Cup, though. --Howard the Duck 02:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
The Jones Cup can be acceptable but I think Filipino teams maybe from 1998 ca be acceptable... its up to you Howard... you can put back the William Jones Cup results from 1998.. peads 02:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure the Jones Cup also admits club teams? If it admits club teams, then it should be removed. However, the latest games should also reflect the last 10 games the national team, regardless they're listed at the tourneys section. --Howard the Duck 03:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
The United States were represented last year by the Passing Lane (CBA or NBDA team?) and this year by the Athletes in Action (a select team)... other countries like Korea (University team), Japan (under-24 team), Australia (under- 19 team - 2006, Great Mates - 2002), Russia (Samarra - 2005), Canada (Victoria University - 2001).... Although, some countries consistently compete their national teams like the Philippines, Taiwan, Kazakhstan and even those beatable national teams... peads 03:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Well then it should be removed here, but can those records be added on some other articles? --Howard the Duck 03:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I think the current section of Latest Results should be maintain but the Jones Cup I'm not sure... 1998 Results was already in the Philippine Centennial Team section but maybe you can create the article - Philippines in the William Jones Cup .. peads 03:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
How about adding them to "Other tournaments". Then place the Far Eastern Games to the Asian tournaments (its the forerunner of the Asian Games). Also, which of those tournaments are FIBA-sanctioned? --Howard the Duck 03:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
You can add the Jones Cup from 1998 results to the present... the only known Philippine result before 1998 were 1981 and 1984 where the San Miguel Philippines won the championships... the William Jones Cup and the Far Eastern Games are not a FIBA-sanctioned tournaments peads 04:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, I understand now. I'm willing to leave out the Jones Cup here, but if we will include them, we should put them at "Other tournaments" that will be renamed into "Non-FIBA-sanctioned tournaments" along with the FEG. --Howard the Duck 04:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I agree with you... you can put the Jones Cup results in the "Non-FIBA-sanctioned tournament" along with the Far Eastern Games... that should be fair enough.. peads 04:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
That's good enough for me. --Howard the Duck 04:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red uniform

I have yet to see a Philippine team wearing red... or maybe it's an old uniform? --Howard the Duck 11:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The Philippine team wore red in the 2002 Asian Games. Try visiting this website for some picutes -> 2002 Asian Games - Philippine Basketball team

[edit] Shortcut

You can use {{PHI-b}} {{bk|PHI}} -- it'll come up as Flag of the Philippines Philippines. --Howard the Duck 10:46, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harbour Center

Should the Harbour Center RP-Team be included in this article? Leoisiah 11:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

You can create a Philippines national under-18 basketball team or whatever age bracket HB's team would be. --Howard the Duck 12:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
