National coach Tim Cone believes that the Philippines' basketball dominance in the Southeast Asian Games would have been even more pronounced if the "A" team, featuring top players like Kai Sotto and June Mar Fajardo, had competed.

Despite facing rule changes and officiating challenges, the Gilas Pilipinas team, coached by Norman Black, secured the gold medal in the 33rd SEA Games in Bangkok with an undefeated record.

Cone acknowledged the difficulty of the competition for the team that was fielded and expressed pride in their accomplishment.

The Philippine team's victory marked their second consecutive gold and 20th overall, solidifying their historical success in the sport within the region.
