Notable occurrences

  • The league revised its season calendar to accommodate the participation of its players for the upcoming 2002 Asian Games. The Governors' Cup became the first conference of the season while the All-Filipino became the third and final conference.[citation needed]
  • The pool for the national team were divided into two teams: Selecta-RP and Hapee-RP. Both teams participated for the Governors' Cup. The teams were later merged to form the final lineup of the national team in the Commissioner's Cup, retaining the Selecta-RP branding.
  • Talk 'N Text coach Bill Bayno was fined PHP200,000 after publicly criticizing the league and its official.[1] This came after Bayno branded the league as "San Miguel Basketball Association" and charged the league officials are favoring the four SMC-owned teams (San Miguel Beermen, Barangay Ginebra Kings, Coca Cola Tigers and Purefoods TJ Hotdogs).[2]
  • This was the last season in which the Commissioner's and Governors Cup were disputed before the tournaments were reinstated in the 2010–11 season. They were replaced in 2003 by the Invitational and Reinforced Conferences in 2003, and eventually the Fiesta Conference in 2004 after the league reduced the number of conferences in a PBA season to two.
