History
The
By 2017, AMA had already a letter of intent to join the top-tier professional Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) as an expansion team. They plan to join the league within the next two to three years.[1]
At least from 2011 to 2017, AMA has not employ foreign basketball players and has been selecting school-based players such as those from the NCAA, UAAP, the National Athletic Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (NAASCU), and the National Capital Region Athletic Association (NCRAA).[2]
Daniel Padilla issue
In the Titans' inaugural season, Daniel Padilla, a local actor who was signed as AMA University's advertisement endorser at the time, was selected as its final round draft pick.[3] This left many spectators in the draft event at the PBA head office in Libis, Quezon City surprised as Padilla was not part of the 153 players who submitted their application for the draft. AMA invoked its right as a school-based team to sign a player who hasn't applied for the draft.[4]
