The story of FIBA Americas President, Horacio Muratore, is interesting and
full of success starting in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman as a player for
Tucuman Basketball Club.
Muratore, who was named FIBA Americas President in March of 2009, has
been thru all the divisions in basketball, from club to the organization that rules
the game of basketball in America.
"I started as a player in Tucuman Basketball in San Miguel de Tucuman and
because I studied in the Economic Science faculty, I was named the treasurer
of the basketball commission," said Muratore in an interview.
His long journey in the basketball world started right there where his years of
service and leadership have given Muratore recognition around the community
where he helped develop basketball in South America and now has the opportunity
to do it in all America.
Muratore was President of Tucuman Basketball from 1978-1980 and from 1980
to 1983 to the Tucuman Association. Then he passed to the Presidency of the
Tucuman Federation for ten years. On December of 1992 he was elected as
President of the Argentinean Basketball Confederation and he was there for 16
years. In November of 1993 he was selected as the President of the South
American Confederation (Consubasquet) for 13 years.
During his presidency in Consubasquet and CABB, Muratore saw the biggest
achievements in the region as Argentina won Gold in the 2004 Olympics and
countries like Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, among others, were doing a great job in
continental tournaments. At the same time the club competitions and national
teams increased to give players the chance to develop in international
competitions.
Now at the start of his presidency in FIBA Americas the continent had a great
performance in the U19 FIBA World Championship as they finished at the top
nine in both men's and women's tournaments. In the women's tournaments USA
won Gold and Argentina Bronce.
The key is to have a great base to have good results, says Muratore, who saw
Argentina, who is not a women's powerhouse, win in that tournament.
" Everything is thanks to a good job right at the base with good planification in
the national team and club competition. This is what we did in all Argentina so
the kids could play basketball in the selections and provinces and also in the
clubs. We have a National League where the young players want to go in order
to develop," said Muratore who graduated from Accounting from Tucuman
National University.
His job to develop basketball doesn't rest in the tournament that are already
there, now they will continue to work to show the potential of American Basketball
with many tournaments, including the South American Championship for Women;s
Clubs done in Quito, Ecuador. When talking about the FIBA Americas
Championship, that begins on August 26 at Coliseo Roberto Clemente of San
Juan, Muratore thinks that it will be a hard and close competition.
"Something will happen this year that has never happened before and that
is that the ten teams have high expectations to win. They are preparing well
and they want to have the best team possible. It will be a very competitive
tournament and good for the people of Puerto Rico who are passionate about
basketball."
The FIBA Americas Championship will qualify the top four teams for the 2010
FIBA World Championship.

Championship.

Dominican REPUBLIC SHOWS A LOT IMPROVEMENT
NBA PLAYERS IN san juan
If it wasn't for the injury of Puerto Rican Jose Juan Barea,
who hasn't recovered completely from his left shoulder
surgery, the NBA would have had seven NBA players in the
FIBA Americas Championhip where the Dominican Republic
has three members.
They are Al Horford of Atlanta who last season he played
in 67 games and averaged 11.5 points and 9.3 rebounds.
Shooting guard Francisco Garcia who had 12.7 points, 3.4
rebounds and 2.3 assists in 65 games.
Charlie Villanueva of Milwaukee registered 16.2 points
and 5.7 rebounds in his debut with the Dominican national
team after playing with the USA Junior National Team.
Meanwhile Argentina has Luis Scola (Houston) as their key
player who never missed a regular season game (82) and
averaged 12.7 points and 8.8 rebounds.
Finally Brazil has guard Leandro Barbosa of Phoenix with
14.4 points and 88.8% from the free throw and forward
Anderson Varejao of Cleveland with 8.6 points and 7.2
rebounds.
Luis Scola: the fuel that sparks the Houston Rockets.
three puerto rican
coaches on stage
It is almost unheard of that three coaches from the same nationality play
in an important FIBA competition and two of them are leading nationalists'
countries like the Dominican Republic and Panama.
Julio Toro, with 12 BSN titles, coaches the Dominicans while David Rosario
of Capitanes de Arecibo, leads the Panamanians; leaving Manolo Cintron,
disciple and substitute of the first, leading the Puerto Rican team.
A possible fourth would have been Flor Melendez who could have been
coaching Venezuela but at the end they stayed with Néstor Salazar.

Daniel Santiago
Francisco García
Al Horford
In paper the ten participants of the FIBA Americas
Championship has a legitimate opportunity for the title
and get one of the four spots in the 2010 FIBA World
Championship.
Meanwhile Brazil is going thru a good moment and
the Dominican Republic, coached by Julio Toro, has
NBA stars like Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks,
Francisco Garcia of the Sacramento Kings and Charlie
Villanueva who played with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Dominicans are one of the favorites while you
can't discount Argentina for their winning tradition and
Puerto Rico because they are the host. Uruguay is
improved in the middle of a reconstruction period and
Canada who has a solid team and plays great defense. Charlie Villanueva
Mexico, who will make their debut against Puerto Rico,
is dangerous because of their offense who got them
the COCABA title while Venezuela and US Virgin Islands
are characterized for giving surprises in international
tournaments. Panama comes in as the underdog because
they replace Cuba who decided to not play in this
tournament.
In a long competition like this, the physical and mental
condition are significant, also a bit of luck is needed.

Key player
The rank of star in the Puerto Rican
national team belongs without a doubt
to Carlos Arroyo by being their main
offensive weapon and having FIBA and
NBA experience, but in the current
edition, center Daniel Santiago is a key
player because of the extra needed for
starting center Peter John Ramos.
Santiago, who has been playing in
the last couple of years in the ACB
League with Malaga and Barcelona, has
won two titles and came back to the
national team after playing with
Vaqueros de Bayamon where he had a
great performance in the semifinals and
the finals. He faced Ramos in the finals
where Vaqueros got their 14 league
title.
Despite his inactivity for the last two
weeks, Santiago participated in the II
Marchand Continental Championship
Cup and was the leading rebounder with
8.7 per game, having a lot of intensity
under the baskets and showing an
improvement in his physical condition
as the tournament went on. Brazil won
with a 3-0 record while Puerto Rico was
2-1.
Head coach Manolo Cintron could use
Daniel as a replacement of Ramos or
both together at the same time, forming
an impressive trio with Ricky Sanchez
as the three of them are 6'11" or taller.
The national team will go at the same
pace as Santiago who needs to avoid
foul trouble and concentrate on the
rebounds and remaining defensive
aspects which elevates his status to
key figure.

Dominican REPUBLIC SHOWS A LOT IMPROVEMENT
NBA PLAYERS IN san juan
If it wasn't for the injury of Puerto Rican Jose Juan Barea,
who hasn't recovered completely from his left shoulder
surgery, the NBA would have had seven NBA players in the
FIBA Americas Championhip where the Dominican Republic
has three members.
They are Al Horford of Atlanta who last season he played
in 67 games and averaged 11.5 points and 9.3 rebounds.
Shooting guard Francisco Garcia who had 12.7 points, 3.4
rebounds and 2.3 assists in 65 games.
Charlie Villanueva of Milwaukee registered 16.2 points
and 5.7 rebounds in his debut with the Dominican national
team after playing with the USA Junior National Team.
Meanwhile Argentina has Luis Scola (Houston) as their key
player who never missed a regular season game (82) and
averaged 12.7 points and 8.8 rebounds.
Finally Brazil has guard Leandro Barbosa of Phoenix with
14.4 points and 88.8% from the free throw and forward
Anderson Varejao of Cleveland with 8.6 points and 7.2
rebounds.
Luis Scola: the fuel that sparks the Houston Rockets.
three puerto rican
coaches on stage
It is almost unheard of that three coaches from the same nationality play
in an important FIBA competition and two of them are leading nationalists'
countries like the Dominican Republic and Panama.
Julio Toro, with 12 BSN titles, coaches the Dominicans while David Rosario
of Capitanes de Arecibo, leads the Panamanians; leaving Manolo Cintron,
disciple and substitute of the first, leading the Puerto Rican team.
A possible fourth would have been Flor Melendez who could have been
coaching Venezuela but at the end they stayed with Néstor Salazar.

Daniel Santiago
Francisco García
Al Horford
In paper the ten participants of the FIBA Americas
Championship has a legitimate opportunity for the title
and get one of the four spots in the 2010 FIBA World
Championship.
Meanwhile Brazil is going thru a good moment and
the Dominican Republic, coached by Julio Toro, has
NBA stars like Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks,
Francisco Garcia of the Sacramento Kings and Charlie
Villanueva who played with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Dominicans are one of the favorites while you
can't discount Argentina for their winning tradition and
Puerto Rico because they are the host. Uruguay is
improved in the middle of a reconstruction period and
Canada who has a solid team and plays great defense. Charlie Villanueva
Mexico, who will make their debut against Puerto Rico,
is dangerous because of their offense who got them
the COCABA title while Venezuela and US Virgin Islands
are characterized for giving surprises in international
tournaments. Panama comes in as the underdog because
they replace Cuba who decided to not play in this
tournament.
In a long competition like this, the physical and mental
condition are significant, also a bit of luck is needed.

Key player
The rank of star in the Puerto Rican
national team belongs without a doubt
to Carlos Arroyo by being their main
offensive weapon and having FIBA and
NBA experience, but in the current
edition, center Daniel Santiago is a key
player because of the extra needed for
starting center Peter John Ramos.
Santiago, who has been playing in
the last couple of years in the ACB
League with Malaga and Barcelona, has
won two titles and came back to the
national team after playing with
Vaqueros de Bayamon where he had a
great performance in the semifinals and
the finals. He faced Ramos in the finals
where Vaqueros got their 14 league
title.
Despite his inactivity for the last two
weeks, Santiago participated in the II
Marchand Continental Championship
Cup and was the leading rebounder with
8.7 per game, having a lot of intensity
under the baskets and showing an
improvement in his physical condition
as the tournament went on. Brazil won
with a 3-0 record while Puerto Rico was
2-1.
Head coach Manolo Cintron could use
Daniel as a replacement of Ramos or
both together at the same time, forming
an impressive trio with Ricky Sanchez
as the three of them are 6'11" or taller.
The national team will go at the same
pace as Santiago who needs to avoid
foul trouble and concentrate on the
rebounds and remaining defensive
aspects which elevates his status to
key figure.

The story of FIBA Americas President, Horacio Muratore, is interesting and
full of success starting in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman as a player for
Tucuman Basketball Club.
Muratore, who was named FIBA Americas President in March of 2009, has
been thru all the divisions in basketball, from club to the organization that rules
the game of basketball in America.
"I started as a player in Tucuman Basketball in San Miguel de Tucuman and
because I studied in the Economic Science faculty, I was named the treasurer
of the basketball commission," said Muratore in an interview.
His long journey in the basketball world started right there where his years of
service and leadership have given Muratore recognition around the community
where he helped develop basketball in South America and now has the opportunity
to do it in all America.
Muratore was President of Tucuman Basketball from 1978-1980 and from 1980
to 1983 to the Tucuman Association. Then he passed to the Presidency of the
Tucuman Federation for ten years. On December of 1992 he was elected as
President of the Argentinean Basketball Confederation and he was there for 16
years. In November of 1993 he was selected as the President of the South
American Confederation (Consubasquet) for 13 years.
During his presidency in Consubasquet and CABB, Muratore saw the biggest
achievements in the region as Argentina won Gold in the 2004 Olympics and
countries like Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, among others, were doing a great job in
continental tournaments. At the same time the club competitions and national
teams increased to give players the chance to develop in international
competitions.
Now at the start of his presidency in FIBA Americas the continent had a great
performance in the U19 FIBA World Championship as they finished at the top
nine in both men's and women's tournaments. In the women's tournaments USA
won Gold and Argentina Bronce.
The key is to have a great base to have good results, says Muratore, who saw
Argentina, who is not a women's powerhouse, win in that tournament.
" Everything is thanks to a good job right at the base with good planification in
the national team and club competition. This is what we did in all Argentina so
the kids could play basketball in the selections and provinces and also in the
clubs. We have a National League where the young players want to go in order
to develop," said Muratore who graduated from Accounting from Tucuman
National University.
His job to develop basketball doesn't rest in the tournament that are already
there, now they will continue to work to show the potential of American Basketball
with many tournaments, including the South American Championship for Women;s
Clubs done in Quito, Ecuador. When talking about the FIBA Americas
Championship, that begins on August 26 at Coliseo Roberto Clemente of San
Juan, Muratore thinks that it will be a hard and close competition.
"Something will happen this year that has never happened before and that
is that the ten teams have high expectations to win. They are preparing well
and they want to have the best team possible. It will be a very competitive
tournament and good for the people of Puerto Rico who are passionate about
basketball."
The FIBA Americas Championship will qualify the top four teams for the 2010
FIBA World Championship.
