Interesado kasi maging head coach ng Gilas Pilipinas itong Australian national team coach na si Brian Goorjian.
Dagdag pa ng Australian coach na bukas ito sa pag-coach ng Gilas kapag natapos na ang coaching contract niya sa Australian national basketball team ng hanggang Paris Olympics sa buwan ng Hulyo.
“I am very open to it (Gilas job),” saad ng 70-year old former Melbourne Tigers star nang tanungin kung handa siyang maging Gilas coach.
“I am finished in Australia after the Olympics. I am done. I love the Philippines, that’s why I am here,” dagdag pa niya.
