THE DEPARTMENT of Youth and Sports will be paying close attention to the national basketball team's campaign at the 14th Borneo City Men's Basketball Invitational Tournament 2012 in Labuan this weekend. The defending champions are out to retain their crown at the June 29-July 1 event knowing that another good performance will put the team in consideration for bigger events, and prove that last year's title was no fluke.
The department's Acting Director Hj Rosmadee Hj Md Daud paid a visit to the national team during their training session at the Brunei Basketball Association (BBA) court in Batu Bersurat yesterday, where he was attended to by BBA president Goh Kim Thiam and other members of the association.
Speaking to The Brunei Times after the visit, Hj Rosmadee said that events such as the Borneo Cup act as a gauge to see where Brunei stands though the real challenge is converting those results at the regional level.
"This is a good platform (to build for bigger events)," he said.
"We have to see where our level is at ... The trip is partly funded by the department (and) if the team does well, its easier for us to give them support to go for bigger events," he added.
Though Brunei's last participation at the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games came in 1999, when the Sultanate hosted the multi-sport event, national coach Kevin Reece believed his players have what it takes to compete at the regional level.
The American insisted Brunei deserve to go head to head against the best in the region and was adamant his men will be be able to provide a fight.
"I know we can beat Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore," said Reece.
"Malaysia and Thailand are in a different league, and Indonesia and Philippines ... They're a whole other level," he noted. Read More…
