PBA history
why not add a section about the history of PBA? -Danngarcia 16:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * we need sources. -- Howard  the   Duck  07:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I finally found a reliable source for the first part of this article! Recently, I found a June 4, 1975 edition of Ginoo Magazine, featuring Gloria Diaz as the cover girl... There's an article there entitled "Which Way Will Pro Basketball in RP Go?" which discusses the formation of the PBA. I'm currently working out an article on my sandbox... -Danngarcia 19:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry my friends but it can't be the second oldest in the world, the Liga Española de Baloncesto (from 1983 Liga ACB) started in 1957 and I'm sure there are leagues in Europe at least as old as that one. --Mbroc (talk) 21:50, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Liga Española de Baloncesto wasn't professional until the open era of basketball. – H T  D  16:51, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Coaches navboxes
In the tradition of MavericksCoach I bring to you the following: ExpressCoach, AcesCoach, GinebraCoach, CokeTigersCoach, TJGiantsCoach, BeermenCoach, RealtorsCoach, PhonePalsCoach, PopColaCoach.

I haven't made Red Bull and Welcoat since they only have 1 head coach in their history. Additions, completions and other navboxes for other teams (especially the defunct ones) are welcome. -- Howard  the   Duck  14:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC) ∞

Jun Bernardino Trophy article?
Is it possible that we can create an article about this trophy? -Danngarcia 17:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The PBA Philippine Cup? -- Howard  the   Duck  06:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, but not about the tournament, but about the trophy itself. -Danngarcia 16:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What are they calling it? The Jun Bernardino Trophy? It can be a DYK if is sufficiently expanded. -- Howard  the   Duck  15:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * According to this article, the Philippine Cup (previously known as the Perpetual Trophy) will be named after Commissioner Bernandino. However it is still unknown if the trophy will be named as such. I'll try to find more sources for this info. -Danngarcia 12:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they'll give the exact name once the tourney starts. -- Howard  the   Duck  11:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

During the opening ceremonies last Sunday, OIC Commissioner Sonny Barrios called the trophy as "Emilio Bernardino Trophy". Should we name it as such? "Emilio Bernardino" may refer to another person since he is a "junior". This may be off topic but there is another PBA trophy named after a league executive. "The Leo" (the trophy given away during the Annual Awards since 2003) was named after Commissioner Leo Prieto. Should we create an article for this? -Danngarcia 17:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah articles can be created for these trophies. -- Howard  the   Duck  12:54, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Rules re: advantage foul
I would just like to ask if this can be considered an advantage foul and if the referee's decision was quite good or was it lame..

waning moments of our game.. (official game, inter-department)we missed the shot and then the opposing player passed on to his teammate for a fastbreak... however, one of my teammates who is already on their court, grabbed him (fastbreak player) for a foul, the foul was committed near the middle of the court (about couple of inches within the center court). one of my teammates were also within the opposing teams court, he was waiting for that player within the key. The referee called a FOUL which he then stated that it was an advantage foul.

The fastbreaking player then made a "second motion" in which he threw the ball from the half court, banging it from the board. (which i know can be considered to be technical or delaying the game)

Is it fair enough to call that foul or he could have called an intentional foul or merely a foul so as to negate the fast-breaking player's second-motion to be fair enough.. can I ask for any opinion on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hydranoid15 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Cite sources
Please do so! Here's the link to the templates Citation_templates. --Truflip99 (talk) 05:43, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Rivalries section hidden
For the following reasons:
 * Lacks overall citation
 * Refers to an incident where players were "sent to jail". Such an incident should include concrete detail as in who, what, when, and where.

Please do not reveal until it is fixed. --Truflip99 (talk) 02:19, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Blanking of links
Since there is a new PBA website, all of the links published before about December 7, 2012 will be erased and considered a dead link. Sadly, almost all weren't archived and only some of the small scale files are archived. Pits Confer Guests 03:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Second oldest?
Is the PBA really the second oldest league after the NBA? As far as I know the Baloncesto Superior Nacional of Puerto Rico is the second oldest (founded in 1929) Seriesphile  (talk · ctb) 05:04, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

 * I haven't read "Pacific Rims", but leagues outside the U.S. before the "Open Era" of basketball weren't professional. The creation of the PBA in 1975 was the probably the first(?) outside the U.S., and most definitely the most lasting, league that allowed professionalism amongst players. The keyword in that sentence is "professional", and it could perhaps be reworded to emphasize that it also carries to the part of the sentence after the word "and". – H T  D  17:11, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
