Jayson Castro, Terrence Romeo, RR Pogoy and Troy Rosario lead eight to nine TNT players that will banner the Philippine quintet chasing a first Asiad podium finish since the bronze-medal feat by coach Tim Cone and the Philippine Centennial Team in 1998 in Bangkok. In less than two hours of meeting, the PBA board solved the problem. “It’s the best board meeting I had with this board. Coach Chot Reyes will have the TNT core group, one player from Alaska Milk, probably a pair from the Gilas cadets and Andray Blatche to send to battle in Palembang on Aug. 18-31. “Coach Chot is happy (with the PBA decision),” said Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Al Panlilio, who’s also a PBA board member representing the Meralco Bolts ball club.
