Six players from the Under-17 national basketball team have apparently been shortlisted to represent Singapore in the 2010 Youth Olympics Games. The basketball event at the YOG is a 3-on-3 format.
There has been no official word from the Basketball Association of Singapore but the six players were called upon to shoot a segment for MediaCorp at the Singapore Basketball Centre recently with regards to the YOG.
The six are:
Goh Kong Tat (Catholic High)
Hubert Neo (New Town Secondary)
Jabez Su – (Catholic High)
Larry Liew – (North Vista Secondary)
Ng Weixiang – (Unity Secondary)
Russel Low – (Presbyterian High)
Last year, the BAS held a 3-on-3 competition which was billed as the selections for the YOG squad. However, there was no official announcement by the BAS about the winning team.
BAS charged teams to enter the selections for the YOG.
Red Sports understands that the players from that winning team were invited to train with the national squad but may not actually be in the YOG squad any more.
Ed’s note: If you know who won the 3-on-3 streetball competition, please let us know the names of the players. Thanks.
When i went to register with my friends , the guy told us ‘ The coaches will choose players to train with the National Players.’ and what happened? only National Youth players’ name are appearing on the list…
Then what did the winning team get at the 2010 YOG Streetball Selections if they weren’t selected?

Answer: THEY GOT CHEATED
wat a joke is this !
maybe bas organise it for fun.the player have been to shortlist to six.
Maybe this players will call up for national team…
Maybe BAS need the money to rise their fund..Ha..Ha..
i agree with u and i don’t believe that Unity sec player, PHS player and NTSS player will be together as a team for the 3on3 YOG
yup,the winning team is from ahmad ibrahim sec they are vandam jiacheng edwin ruikun… but they were not invited to train with the national squad or they were not even selected for the YOG2010. all choose 1993 de,somemore all u16 youth national team de. some people never go for selections also kena selected.. BAS give everybody a explanations as we paid for the yog2010 registration fee but none get selected
I see. I thought they were invited to train with the national squad. Looks like it wasn’t a YOG 2010 selection after all, despite the title of the event.
then wad abt the other winners in other levels???
Did’nt they said the wont be totally choosing from the top 4 teams? pls give me an answer thanks
Can BAS given a answer regarding the issue…
