FIBA exec impressed by Pinoy 3x3 boys; invites to join FIBA U-18
FIBA 3x3 sports director Kosta Iliev of Bulgaria was so impressed by the showing of the undermanned Philippine team at the recent 2nd Asian Youth Games in Nanjing that he invited the teenaged boys to compete at the FIBA U-18 World Championships in Jakarta on Sept. 26-29.
But Iliev was told by team coach Nic Jorge that the Philippines had actually qualified for the World Championships by topping the FIBA-Asia joust in Bangkok last June. Representing the country in the Jakarta competition are Ateneo’s Thirdy Ravena, San Beda’s Arvin Tolentino and La Salle’s Kobe Paras and Prince Rivero with John Flores as coach.
