Convention
by rick olivares
Almost 800 basketball coaches
from all over the country attended the three-day MVP Sports Foundation Coaches
Convention at the Filoil Flying V Centre from October 26-28.
Among the coaches and basketball
officials who gave talks and workshops include national team manager Butch
Antonio, Goldwyn Monteverde of Chiang Kai Shek College and Adamson University High
School, Kirk Collier, San Beda Red Lions coach Jamike Jarin, and Koy Banal.
Rodel Camacho of Santa Clarita
International School in Iloilo said that this was his third year of attendance
and it helps him with his basketball program that is only four years old. “I
learned a lot from what Coach Jamike taught us,” bared Camacho who added that
it was one thing to see Jarin’s Red Lions run the plays on television and
another while seeing it demonstrated with all the options. “It’s good to learn
from the best.”
Some of the alumni to come up
from the NBTC ranks includes current La Salle head coach Aldin Ayo.
The Coach Convention precedes the
Regional knockout phase for the 2016-17 season of the National Basketball
Training Center that culminates in the national championship this March.
“We’re continuously growing,”
pointed out NBTC Program Director Eric Altamirano. From what started out as 16
teams 11 years ago, has now expanded to over 700 high school squads from 62
cities. “Now we have a Division One and Division Two.”
