Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — No appeal from the legion of Star Hotshots fans can stop the move that will send coach Tim Cone to Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.
Well, because it’s already a done deal.
San Miguel Corp. President Ramon Ang himself confirmed Cone’s transfer from Star to the most popular ballclub in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), according to a report by Spin.ph posted on Monday (July 20).
Cone, who has 18 titles under his belt, led the Hotshots to five championships including a Grand Slam two seasons ago.
The legendary coach, known for infusing the triangle offense to the two teams — Alaska and Star — he steered to multiple championships, is expected to prop up Ginebra’s sagging fortunes.
Ginebra, despite parading a formidable lineup at leason on paper, has not won a championship since 2008.
