UAAP Men's Basketball notes

Inquiring minds want to know, what has happened to Kirk Long's game? He was made the starting guard in the summer, but his quarterbacking has been suspect and so has been his shooting. What foes have been doing is trapping him in the backcourt while others wait to pick off his pass to the wings. Said one coach who refused to be named, said they were hoping that Norman Black would play him because they could then send a rover or double to cover Rabeh, Nonoy, or Chris. Now that he's on the bench and getting limited minutes, it will force them to change their gameplan since Jai Reyes when he slips free is a better shooter.

Some people are still wondering why Aboy Castro was appointed UP's coach. Well, they're no different from the Ateneans who want Norman Black out. Look at it this way, they wanted Sandy Arespacochaga, Joel Banal, and Joe Lipa out. Doesn't matter who you put there, some people will always want them out.

So PJ Walsham made good on his promise to shave his head should La Salle lose to Ateneo.

Word is that if Migs De Asis doesn't improve his game, he could be demoted to UP's Team B for next season. They have other shooters coming up.

Can you believe how every team is complaining about the officiating? Almost every possession someone gripes about the calls. To be fair, it has been bad for all teams. As I said previously, I'm surprised that Commissioner Narvasa suspended some refs for failing to control the game. But Commish, they did control the game with their stupid whistles!
