Israel Gutiérrez is an important player within the Mexican basketball team, since from an early age he has been part of great moments for the country. Today, it generates controversy by asking that the LNBP take control of the national team in conjunction with the government.
The Mexican explains that in this way the regulations could be adjusted so that national players have more prominence in the league and thus obtain more opportunities. In this way, he exposes that the league and the Mexican team could continue to grow together.
Thus, the regulations could be adjusted little by little to find that the player who can play for Mexico against FIBA has more prominence in the league and has more opportunities. And everything continues to grow, league and selection together.

On the other hand, Israel Gutierrez made clear his desire for coach Paco Olmos to remain at the helm of the team after his great performance in the second qualifying window for the FIBA AmeriCup 2021. The Golden State Warriors player, and former player from Fuerza Regia, Juan Toscano, reaffirmed the idea with a retweet.
And hopefully the coach @olmos_paco stay ahead of the selection.
