Uichico bats for Guiao as RP 5 coach

-

Jong Uichico has joined the fast-growing list of the “Yeng Guiao believers” but the Ginebra mentor hopes to do better than his Red Bull counterpart in their battle in the Smart PBA Fiesta Cup Final Four beginning Sunday at the Astrodome.

Uichico, who handled the RP team in the 2002 Busan Asiad, pitched for Guiao to be named coach of the national team to the world championship qualifier in China next year.

“I’m personally endorsing Yeng. His style of coaching may not be the norm but it’s effective. Whether you like it or nor, he’s been doing a great job and produces results,” said Uichico.

“The bottom line is we need results and we should go by results,” Uichico added.

The overwhelming majority of PBA officials are also for Guiao, the most consistent top performing coach in the pro league today.

“He’s been doing a good job. Hopefully, he doesn’t against me and my team,” said Uichico of his forthcoming semis duel with Guiao. – Nelson Beltran
