At last, Cone gets to coach a national team he long dreamed of
TWENTY-SIX years ago, when Tim Cone was first handed the national team job, he gathered some of the best players from the PBA to form what came to be known as the &#;Centennial Team,&#; months before the Bangkok Asian Games.
The selections he came up with reflected the kind of team he envisioned.

This is the second time I was roused from sleep following my mother’s unexpected arrival earlier in the morning at 4 a.m.
“Fr. Rector (Herminio Dagohoy) already appointed coach Bong de la Cruz to be our men’s basketball coach,” says the message.
After breakfast with my wife and visiting members of my family was finished, done and over with, and soon as I am alone, I finally begin efforts to communicate with coach Segundo de le Cruz III.
Segundo is the name which his former high school coach Charlie Dy got me familiar with.
More than two decades ago, I was familiar with Segundo the point guard, not Bong the coach.
