munchkins and donuts Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I don't like Alfrancis Chua, pero if he will get the job done then well okay. But for the love of God, I will stop watching their games if Rabeh or Japhet dons a Ginebra uniform. They have no business with Ginebra. Quote Link to comment

munchkins and donuts Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Mas may "Jaworski vibe" nga si Pido eh. Sayang. But the reason he left UST is to take the Barako Bull offer, no offer from Ginebra. Quote Link to comment
RED2018 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Mas may "Jaworski vibe" nga si Pido eh. Sayang. But the reason he left UST is to take the Barako Bull offer, no offer from Ginebra. Pido would have chosen to join Ginebra; sadly, wala ngang offer and Barako Bull was quick enough to the draw. Let's just hope Alfrancis' style matches that of the Gin Kings. You're right in saying that Pido has the Ginebra pedigree... Quote Link to comment

photographer Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Uichico leaps to Tanquingcen's defense after yet another 'demotion' By Snow Badua January 02, 2013, 01:59 pm http://contents.spin.ph/image/jong-siot.jpg “What can you say to uplift a person’s spirit after being brought up and down several times,” says Jong Uichico when asked about pal Siot Tanquingcen's constant 'demotions' in the San Miguel organization. Jerome Ascano After word of Siot Tanquingcen’s demotion from head coach to assistant at Ginebra leaked out, guess who was the first person to call him? Who else but longtime friend Jong Uichico. “I called him up right away, and told him hopefully something good comes out of this situation for you and your family,” said Uichico, a day after his former assistant and co-coach was asked to slide down to an assistant role to give way to new Ginebra coach Alfrancis Chua. It was not the first time Tanquingcen has been demoted to an assistant role in his long years with the San Miguel organization. In fact he was asked to give way to Uichico himself when the latter moved from San Miguel (now Petron) to Ginebra in 2006. Uichico lamented that the constant demotions are a blow to a coach’s morale and confidence. “Syempre, hindi ko rin alam ang sasabihin ko sa kanya. What can you say to uplift a person’s spirit after being brought up and down several times,” said Uichico, who quit the SMC organization last season after his ‘demotion’ from head coach to co-coach with Tanquingcen at Ginebra. “Ang hirap din ng ganun, akyat baba ka sa pwesto mo … mawawala kumpiyansa mo nun,” Uichico added. “Ilang beses na di ba? ang hirap tanggapan lang niyan. Kahit sabihing trabaho natin ito. Masakit tanggapin yun.” Uichico, now a coaching consultant for Meralco and coach of Smart Gilas 2.0’s cadet team, also came to the defense of Tanquingcen, who has come under criticism from fans in the three-plus years that Ginebra has gone without a championship. He pointed out that the former University of Santo Tomas Tiger has three PBA titles to his name and is one of the hardest-working coaches in the pro league. “Alam natin na Siot performed to management’s expectations. Hindi naman siya basta-bastang coach,” said Uichico. “Masipag iyan. Hindi natutulog iyan kaka-review ng tape. Masipag pa nga sa akin yan. “Mabait si Siot. Hindi ko malimutan dyan was when I was moved to Ginebra, more than willing siya nun to step down.” Quote Link to comment

photographer Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Career plans up in the air as Tanquingcen still in shock after Ginebra 'demotion' By Snow Badua January 02, 2013, 01:45 pm http://contents.spin.ph/image/siot-tanquingcen34.jpg Former Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen has declared his readiness to help successor Alfrancis Chua achieve success for the PBA’s most popular team. Jerome Ascano FORMER Barangay Ginebra coach Siot Tanquingcen is likely to stay with the San Miguel organization, but said he is leaving everything to God. “Kahapon ko lang nalaman, pero hinihintay ko pa kung ano man ang magiging papel o role ko sa team,” Tanquingcen bared to Spin.ph, obviously still in shock over the sudden turn of events at the turn of the year. A source told Spin.ph the three-time champion coach will be briefed by San Miguel management of its plans for him in a meeting scheduled late on Wednesday. “Hindi ko alam, kasi naguguluhan pa rin ako. Kapapasok lang din ng taon. Bahala na,” said the soft-spoken coach, who was relegated to lead assistant coach to give way to new Ginebra mentor Alfrancis Chua. “Basta ako malaki pasasalamat ko sa opportunity na binigay ng Diyos at management. Malaking privilege mag-coach sa Ginebra.” But a lot of options are definitely available for Tanquingcen in the same manner as his former co-coach Jong Uichico found a new lease on life when he was tapped by Meralco after he left Ginebra. Tanquingcen, however, declared his readiness to help Chua achieve success for the PBA’s most popular team. “Sa akin naman kung ano maitutulong kay coach Al kung ano direksyon gusto niya. Syempre tutulong ako kung saan niya ako i-assign,” he said of his fellow UST alumnus. At the same time, Tanquingcen believes he steps down at a time when he has put Ginebra in a position to contend for another championship. “At least kahit papano, alam ko papunta na ulit sa direksyon na `yun ang Ginebra. OK na ko, at least, nakatulong ako,” declared Tanquingcen. “Slowly it’s gonna take shape. We just need time to get everybody in sync. Cohesiveness lang talaga. Kung mapansin mo, nagpaparamdam na rin ang Ginebra,” said the former coach who welcomed five new players to the Ginebra fold this conference alone. Cohesion was, indeed, a major issue, with the Kings having to absorb new recruits LA Tenorio, Elmer Espiritu, and rookies Yousef Taha, Chris Jensen, and Chris Ellis in the Philippine Cup. Last season, the crowd favorites also were busy in the trading market, acquiring the likes of Dylan Ababou, Allein Maliksi, and Kerby Raymundo. But in the process, the Kings also lost key players Willie Miller, Ronald Tubid, KG Canaleta, Mike Cortez, JC Intal, Eric Menk, Rico Villanueva, Yancy de Ocampo and youngsters Jimbo Aquino, Reil Cervantes, and John Wilson.

*kalel* Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 i am not a fan of siot but i liked him for his pre-game preparations... the guy gave Ginebra its first back to back Cs. Pero di naman champion agad.. i think there was a 2 year slump or mid-pack finishes..... Quote Link to comment
Agent_mulder Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Welcome development ang pagpalit sa coach, with Alfrancis Chua as head coach I hope na maayos na sana ang rotation ng players nila. Also, alanganin ako sa import nila ah, pucha this early me question na sa FT shooting n'ya, sana lang 'di lang s'ya maging gaya noon ke Vroman na sobrang apektado sa woeful FT shooting na takot na mahawakan ang bola o tumira at pasa na agad sa team mates n'ya. Sana me iba pa silang makuha, having a reliable import gaya ng bmeg noon with Bowles was key to winning a title.... Quote Link to comment
azraelmd Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I read sa isang newspaper yun lists ng mga imports nde ko lang matandaan kung san sori pero naalala ko may balkman( dating knicks?) tapos another team is tryingbto acquire kenyon martin also si bowles is returning for coach tim cone Quote Link to comment
