MANILA\u00a0— Don’t be surprised if Coach Yeng Guiao’s tenure as Gilas coach will go beyond the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.<\/p>\n

No less than SBP chairman emeritus himself, Manny Pangilinan, said that the current NLEX gaffer could become the national team mentor for good.<\/p>\n

“I think so,” Pangilinan, the first president of the said NSA, simply said when asked if the current higher-ups, led by president Al Panlilio, chairman Sonny Angara, and vice chairman Robbie Puno, are ready to give him the Gilas coaching job on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n

Given Gilas’ performance in the Asian Games, however, it can be a very likely scenario.<\/p>\n

“Coach Yeng was a revelation [especially on] how he managed to bring the team together [considering the] different personalities from different teams and how Jordan Clarkson also blended with the team,” Pangilinan continued. “Coach Yeng has done a magnificent job.”<\/p>\n

He later said that the PBA is more than willing to support the cause.<\/p>\n

“Binuksan na ang pinto ng PBA kay Yeng,” Pangilinan further said.<\/p>\n

“Mr. MVP” also said that Coach Chot Reyes is willing to give way should Guiao gets the job for good.<\/p>\n

“Hindi naman maiinggit si Chot. Kinausap na niya ako. Alam naman niya (Chot won\u2019t get jealous. He already talked to me, he knows it),” Pangilinan said.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
