Asian Championship related news

A couple of Asian Championship related news found on FIBA.com:

JPN – New coach, same plan for Japan ahead of trip to Tianjin
After playing well enough at the FIBA East Asia Championship last month under new Japan boss David Hobbs to qualify for the FIBA Asia Championship, the players learned that the 60-year-old Hobbs had been forced to step down because of a "health issue".

The Japanese Basketball Association (JBA) reacted quickly by appointing Osamu Kuraishi, the former JBA's Hitachi Sunrockers coach, as his replacement.

PHI – Toroman looks at Philippines’ chances in FIBA Asia Championship
Philippines national team project director Rajko Toroman is optimistic about the team’s chances of at least reaching the Quarter-Finals of the FIBA Asia Championship, which tips off in less than a month in Tianjin, China.

Toroman, who guided Iran to the Asian title two years ago, a result that qualified them for the Olympics, is heavily involved with the Philippines national side though Yeng Guiao was recently installed as the coach.

The Philippines will take on Korea, Japan and Sri Lanka in Group A.

LIB - Lebanon Coach Wants Ticket to Turkey
(FIBA Asia Championship) - Dragan Raca is back at the helm of the Lebanese National Team. Having lost to Iran in the final of the FIBA Asia Championship two years ago in Tokushima - thus according to many experts "blowing away Lebanon's best possible chance to qualify for the Olympics" - one would have expected Dragan Raca to come up with words like 'revenge, vengeance etc,.'

But the 38-year-old was as equanimous as ever while assessing Lebanon's chances at the 25th FIBA Asia Championship, scheduled to be held in Tianjin (China) from Aug 6-16.

Taiwan 2nd NT wins second warmup

Led by Jet Chang's game-high 23 points, Taiwan second NT beat Taiwan NT 105-92 in the second warmup game of the three-game series, which was held for the preparation for the 2009 William Jones Cup.

The 2009 Jones Cup men's group will be played from July 18-26 in Taipei with nine teams participating. Most teams will use this annual tourney as the final tune-up before the Tianjin Asian Championship in August.

Taiwan NT head coach Chung kwang-suk told reporters after the game that he was not happy with the team's sloppy defense and rebounding.

Injured centers Tseng Wen-ting and Wu Tai-hao both watched the game at courtside. Tseng and Wu are still under rehab and expected to sit out the Jones Cup.

SBL MVP Chang Chih-feng returned from injury but was a little bit rusty. Chang said he still needs some time to work himself back in shape.
