Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Jacobs was supposed to coach the national team in the 2002 Asian Games in Busan but he suffered a stroke shortly after being appointed and was eventually replaced by Jong Uichico, one of his assistants.[10]
  2. ^ The RP representative in the inaugural FIBA Asia Stanković Cup (later renamed FIBA Asia Cup and now referred to as the FIBA Asia Challenge) wasn’t the national team but members of the Philippine College of Criminology varsity plus several "outsiders." Johnny Tam was listed as the ragtag team’s official head coach but neither he nor his assistant, Ching Marcelino, made the trip to Taipei. Instead, team official Eric King called the shots on the sidelines while receiving instructions via cellphone from Tam in Manila.[12]
  3. ^ Zamar was tapped to coach the national team in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games but the sport was scrapped from the event as the host country was still suspended by FIBA.[13]
  4. ^ Baculi coached the national team that participated at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games.[14]
  5. ^ Racela was the head coach of the national team that participated at the 2016 SEABA Cup.[18] Baldwin remained coach of the team that participated at the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Manila.
  6. ^ Josh Reyes, son of Chot Reyes, was the interim head coach of the national team that participated at the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge.[19]
  7. ^ Reyes resigned as head coach in September 2018 while still suspended following the Philippines-Australia brawl in the 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. Guiao was eventually named as his replacement and coached the national team for the remainder of the qualifiers. [21]
  8. ^ Uichico led the Philippine national team that participated at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games instead of the Chot Reyes, who led the Philippine squad which played at the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup due to an overlapping schedule between the two competitions.[22]
  9. ^ Guiao coached the team which participated at the 2018 Asian Games due to the suspension on national team coach, Chot Reyes due to his involvement in the Philippines-Australia brawl in the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Although the Asian Games is not part of the scope of the sanctions, the SBP decided against fielding suspended players for the Asian Games and designating Reyes as head coach of the team.
