Sinabi kahapon ni PBA Commissioner Noli Eala na maraming mga pag-uusap at debateng nangyayari sa hanay ng naturang grupo, binubuo ng PBA, PBL, UAAP at NCAA, para sa paglalatag ng bagong Constitution and By-Laws ng bagong cage body.
"May mga concerns and debates on certain provisions, particularly on membership on the different voting powers that are being given to each officers," wika ni Eala.
Inaasahan ni Eala na mai-susumite nila ngayon sa POC ang bagong draft ng Constitution and By-laws ng unified basketball federation na siyang posibleng ipalit sa sinibak nang Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) ni Joey Lina.
"There is a big debate on the options that were taking in order for this to be passed by the Philippine Olympic Committee as well as the FIBA," ani Eala. "It is a work in progress and were working very hard to meet the deadline."
Nagbigay ang FIBA, ang international basketball federation, ng deadline na hanggang Marso 31 para resolbahin ng POC ang isyu sa BAP.
Isa sa mga opsyon na tinitingnan ng mga basketball stakeholders, ayon kay Eala, ay ang paggamit sa pangalan ng BAP para mapadali ang pag-alis ng FIBA ng suspensyon.
"We have certain deadline that were trying to keep and were trying to meet, kaya lahat ng mga stakeholders are really working very hard," sabi ni Eala.(Russell Cadayona)
