Fans, every time Gilas loses, the first cry is always the same—“Change the coach!” And even the legendary Tim Cone is not exempt from this chorus.
But have we forgotten what Coach Tim Cone has already accomplished with Gilas? We are so quick to point fingers, so eager to throw the blame at the triangle offense, without truly looking at the bigger picture.
There are 16 teams in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025—most led by foreign coaches, using all sorts of systems. Some of these are the very systems that many of you are calling for. And yet… have any of them beaten Australia?
Since Australia joined the FIBA Asia fold, they have dominated—champions every single time. It’s not just us they beat. It’s everyone.
So the question is—do we really need to change the coach? Do we need to overhaul the system? Or should we be asking something deeper?
What do we truly need to do to bridge that gap?
Or… and this is the harsh, painful question… do we accept that in the world of basketball, Asia is still chasing shadows?
Because if we keep changing leaders and systems without truly addressing the core, we’ll keep running in circles—while the Aussies keep raising that trophy. #Powcast
