PBA revises rules on contracts, rookie draft eligibility
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) on Saturday announced some changes to its rules on expired contracts, live contracts, and rookie eligibility to “keep up with the changes happening around the world.”
The league has had to respond to contract and draft-related issues in the past few months, from PBA players opting to skip singing a new contract with their mother club and PBA players and draft eligible player opting to sign with teams from overseas leagues.
Expired contracts and restricted free agency
In terms of expired contracts, the league set a period of 30 days for PBA teams to negotiate a new contract with its player.
If the player does not accept the offer his team, he can entertain offers from other teams after the 30th day – but his mother team will be allowed to match the offer and retain the rights to the player, if they do so within five days from the date of receipt of offer.
If that player refuses to sign with his mother team that matched the offer, then the player will have to sit out a total of five years before he can return to the league. During that time period, his mother team will continue to hold his rights, but the player can return as an unrestricted free agent after the five year-period is up.
The player can also choose to return to the league and accept the matched offer of the mother team, provided he does so within two years of his contract expiring.
Take for example, Ray Parks, who has yet to sign a new contract with the TNT Tropang Giga, but was recently allowed by the team to play in the Japan Professional Basketball League (B.League).
While he is allowed to play in Japan, does TNT still hold the rights to Parks in the PBA?
"TNT still has rights over him until he comes back, but in the meantime, he can join other leagues for five years," the league's legal counsel Atty. Melvin Mendoza said.
Live contracts
For live contracts, the league said these should not be pre-terminated, except for medical reasons.
Retirement or leaves of absences, according to the PBA, are considered as pre-terminations of contract. In the event this happens, the player pre-terminating their contract will be banned from the league and the team will be fined P20 million.
However, the league said if a player alone refuses to honor the live contract, the team or the league may avail of legal remedies and the player may be banned from the PBA.
Draft eligibility and opting out
In terms of rookie eligibility, the league said that players eligible for the next draft are those 22 years old and above but those at least 19 years of age with a minimum of two years in college may also become eligibile.
Should Kai Sotto, who will play for the Adelaide 36ers in the Australia National Basketball League, hypothetically decide to join the PBA, the league said he can take the 22-year old rule path.
Players eligible to join the draft but opt not to will be able to do so, provided they will sit out for five years before eventually joining the draft. The player can also decide to join the PBA within three years from the date of eligibility, but they will be drafted through a special lottery.
Asked where Thirdy Ravena falls should he decide to join the PBA, then this rule on the three years of eligibility shall be applicable.
Rookie contracts
According to the league, if a drafted player fails to agree with the terms of contract, then the player will sit out for five years and the team can assign its rights over the player within the said period.
The maximum salary cap for the top three draftees will also be lifted. However, a rookie's salary should not exceed the team’s maximum salary cap.
Fil-foreign rookies
The league also said Filipino-foreigners can only apply for the draft until they are 30 years old. Otherwise, they cannot play anymore in the PBA.
Maurice Shaw, for example, who was 35 years old when he was drafted back in 2019, will not be allowed to join the draft if he applied for this year's draft.
Keeping up with changes
PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said these revisions are made to keep up with the changes happening in the professional basketball scene around the world.
"Things are evolving and we need to adjust," Marcial said. "I'm sure if I am not the commissioner anymore, things will continue to change. We will adapt to what is appropriate at the moment because we see the need to do so."
Deputy commissioner Eric Castro echoed Marcial's statement. "We want the PBA to be the employer of choice even if the leagues in our neighboring Asian countries are growing," he said.
The league's study group which revisited the existing rules and polices of the was headed by PBA Board of Governors vice chairman Bobby Rosales.
Included in the group are former commissioner Chito Salud, former Philippine Basketball League commissioner and laywer Ogie Narvasa, lawyer Alberto Agra of the Philippine Sports Commission, Marcial, Castro, Mendoza, and veteran coach Joe Lipa.
Marcial said no players were included in the formation of the study group, but they had resource persons such as people from the media.
The league said it will release the rules to the teams tomorrow, adding that the team governors are already aware of the new policies.

How to become a professional basketball player?
The main basketball player of Soviet Russia Alexander Gomelsky once said that basketball is a game of the 21st century. Who invented basketball? This magnificent game was invented by a physical education teacher at the American College of Springfield at the end of the 19th century. This game perfectly reflects the modern reality thanks to the competitive spirit, rhythm, speed and emotions. Basketball is a combination of speed, power, willpower and intelligence. Basketball helps everyone develop regardless of gender and age. Basketball is a unique sport that is great for women.
One of the main advantages of the game is the positive impact on the player's health due to physical activity of varying intensity. In one game, each participant runs 7 kilometers, makes more than 20 jerks at high speed, and also makes many jumps. This active game is a kind of simulator for the respiratory tract, digestive system and endocrine glands. Playing basketball has a positive effect on the player's vision and the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Needless to say, with basketball you will always stay in shape?
Basketball master class by Dmitry Bazelevsky
Basketball should be practiced from an early age
Basketball is a great sport that everyone can do. Starting to play basketball to achieve professional goals should be from early childhood. For the development of the child, both physically and mentally, he should be involved in individual and team sports.
Sport helps to develop spiritually, fight against complexes, the young player begins to realize his physical abilities and gets used to a disciplined order. Such a team sport as basketball helps to get along in human society, make friends, teaches responsibility not only for oneself, but also for the whole team, develops the spirit of competition. Basketball develops not only physically, but also helps to adapt in society, to feel like a part of the whole world.
Jeremy Lin
Don't force your child to do a particular sport, let him try everywhere and then decide what he likes best. This is what American psychologists advise to do. In American schools, there are great opportunities to make a basketball career from childhood. There are high-quality trainings, and in order to get into the team, they conduct tests for children and thus reveal true talents. If your child sees himself only in basketball, then you need to find him a qualified coach. Many parents want to see the result immediately and are too demanding of both the coach and the child.
Leandro Barbosa
This attitude is inherently wrong and can give rise to a number of problems, such as the refusal of a small athlete to play sports because of too much work. First of all, you need to see each class as a lesson in spiritual development, and not a competition for the World Cup.
If you have already decided on a coach, then you should not load the boy with endless training on the field and immediately turn him into a basketball star. Until the child is 14 years old, let him spend on the field no more than four times a week. This is enough to hone the technique of the game.
Young children most often do not withstand many hours of training, and get mental disorders instead of world fame. A professional coach must himself understand what level of load should be given to the ward, so that it does not harm, but only benefit. Finding a specialist in this field is not easy. To date, training is mainly carried out by teenagers, as a competent coach needs serious payment.
Unfortunately, the financing of youth sports in our country is at a very low level. Having found an adult trainer, you should not rejoice, older people are not the best option for active training. How to choose an average parent who does not understand anything in sports a good coach for their child?
The first thing you should remember is that a basketball specialist should understand that the first positive results will not come soon and should not put pressure on a novice player. Parents should monitor the behavior of the coach in the classroom so that he does not in any way humiliate the personality of the children. In addition, a good coach must have the qualities of a psychologist, understand children and give them the right direction.
To understand if a coach is right for you, pay attention to your son's behavior after training. If he comes on a positive note, then it is worth working with the coach. If the boy is depressed, he has an emotional failure, then it is better to refuse such a coach and continue the search.

A basketball player must prepare his physical and spiritual body
A future basketball player must be ready for the game both mentally and physically (it is important to jump high). He should not be very upset when losing and should clearly understand that this is the result of a bad game or a dysfunctional team. Basketball helps a person to perceive defeats and rejoice in victories. Basketball is a kind of life, because every person experiences such feelings throughout his years.
A child playing basketball since childhood will not only have an athletic physique, but also a hardened heart and will go through life easily, experience less stress than his peers. Basketball communication with peers. Sometimes life problems arise on the field, with which children learn to fight and win from childhood.
Parents who dream of dedicating their child to professional basketball athletes have to decide what is more important for them, sport or education? Many want teenagers to spend more time in the gym, as it is more interesting for them there than at school, and a sports career with multimillion-dollar fees warms the soul. Basketball is one of the most expensive sports, so parents see it as a chance to get out of poverty. But even professional athletes say they lost a lot by dropping out of higher education.
Therefore, you should not deprive your children of the opportunity to get a higher education, because sooner or later they will still understand what a mistake they made. Suddenly, a sports career fails, then children may not be left with their lot. The best option is to combine sports with study.
The most important qualities that every professional athlete has before reaching adolescence is coordination and internal balance. Children should also be able to pass, throw, catch the ball, drive it, run without the ball and hit the basket. Without coordination, there can be no question of the profession of a basketball player.
Vince Carter
How does a young basketball player learn?
First, the child is introduced to the basic rules of the game and techniques. Such an acquaintance does not happen in one lesson. Before the start of the lesson, all athletes warm up, run around the hall, stretch, pass the ball to each other, take turns hammering into the rings to work out the throws. Then individual fragments of the game are taught.
Throw, attack, defense situations are simulated. At the first stage, the main focus is on the acquisition of the player's physical endurance, which serves as the basis for doubling the load. After the basketball player has mastered the basics of the game, the coach moves on to teaching more complex techniques. One of the elements of basketball includes martial arts as a means of attack and defense. Children will learn new ways to catch and pass the ball. Every competent coach should pay special attention to specialized tasks. The emphasis is on team play, creating a special atmosphere between team members. The competitive spirit is growing. After the basketball players have learned all the tricks of the game, special emphasis is placed on the game. The time of victories and defeats begins.
Dwyane Wade and Lebron James
Every professional basketball player needs to know what role each player plays. The playmaker is the main player on the team. Usually they are the best basketball players on the team. His role is excellent ball handling and passing. To repel attacks, forwards and center players come into play. The movement of the forwards is distributed along the phalanxes, and the center player is directly in the center.
Few people want to become a center player, since it is he who has to withstand all the attacks of opponents. Such a player can score the highest ratings for a brilliant game. In order to win, the actions of each player must be clearly coordinated with the team. You should not set yourself the goal of gaining the best statistical data, because without attaching importance to game combinations, you can easily lose ground.
The player must be prepared for the fact that the coach will change the composition, either by adding more forwards, or by post players. Such tactics help to confuse the enemy and win the game even against the strongest team. Defense tactics is one of the main techniques, and is divided into zone and personal.
When a team beats a zone defense, the players try to cover their opponent. During personal defense, the player blocks a specific opponent, who at that moment is trying to take the ball out of his hands. The pressing technique suppresses active players and is used throughout the playing area, regardless of the size of the playing field.
Blake Griffin
Team play scores are based on a number of metrics such as points, rebounds and blocks. Subjective indicators have a significant impact on the winnings of a team. These indicators include shots, passes, dribbling and feints. Throwing on the area of the ring is an important part of the game and serve as the main indicators to get the most points.
Passing is also a key part of the game and leads to victory. To get decent points, you need to remember the rules of the game of passing. Deceptive moves with the body or the ball aimed at distracting the opponent are called feints. The concept of dribbling refers to the player's ability to drive the ball around the hall.
To become a worthy sportsman you need to have a strong will and diligence. If you skip workouts, be lazy and not train your body, then you will not achieve significant results. Each champion has to wake up early in the morning, do a warm-up, diet and follow all the instructions of the coach.
The coach, in turn, must attract the interest of every future basketball player, make sure that the game is only a joy, not a burden. This game requires a great desire to learn and in order to enter the first real game you need to train and train sparing no effort.
Everything must be approached with common sense
Every parent, bringing his child to basketball, immediately begins to wonder when he will achieve the result. You need to understand that more than 50% of success depends on the player, on his diligence and desire. The coach, on the other hand, can only give an inaccurate answer based on the physical abilities of the athlete. It often happens that a child has amazing physical data, but does not want to work. The probability of such a player becoming a champion is not great. The opportunity to become a champion is for someone who, having no abilities, trains tirelessly and as a result achieves what he wants.
Of course, we must not forget that height and complexion play an important role. There is an opinion that it is better for an athlete who does not have the height of Gulliver to forget about basketball. With good growth, you can easily shoot balls into the basket, eliminate the opponent's attack and take possession of the ball while defending the ring. But players with small stature are distinguished by high speed and agility, and they also know how to throw the ball perfectly over long distances. You should also not forget that basketball promotes growth, so today you were in the lists of athletes of short stature, and tomorrow you got up from the ranks of tall ones. One of the main qualities of the future basketball player is the character of the war, the core, the will to win. This game seems to be very easy at first glance. But getting to know her better, you will understand that everyone can play carelessly, and only the elite can play professionally.
How can a basketball player develop without access to the gym?

3. Analyze matches
This will help you better understand the game and increase your basketball IQ. Analyze your game and the game of professionals you want to be like, analyze your opponent. And always pay attention to details.
Kobe Bryant was a crazy basketball player down to the last detail. He watched the matches and noticed the details so much that he knew how his opponent would act in any situation. In his book, he described a moment where, thanks to analysis, Kobe dunked through the center opponent, because he knew how he would put his hand to resist, and was able to remove it.
Curry said that when he watches his games, he pauses and notes what decisions he can make. Then he chooses the best and turns on the tape to test himself in the game. You can do that too.
You can also look at professionals. You turn on the match of a player you are similar in style to and follow his every move.
Kobe does not waste time watching the game during the flight
4. Learn
Read books, watch educational and useful videos, do something else. You may not become a professional basketball player, but you can always become a good person.
To be successful in the game, you must not only have good athleticism and skills. Knowledge in psychology will help you better understand the actions of opponents. Communication skills will help build better relationships with teammates. Good time management will allow you to use your time more efficiently. A successful career consists not only of playing on the court, but also of acting outside of it.
We add material and tools to the online school that help not only in basketball, but also in life. Some guys start to study better and do more things in a day, because they become more disciplined and learn a lot of new things. This is important because life does not end with basketball.
LeBron has been using the slogan "More than an athlete" for several years now. Because basketball goes beyond the sport where everything ends in the hall.
The player can also decide to join the PBA within three years from the date of eligibility, but they will be drafted through a special lottery.
