It will be an intriguing tactical war between two of the best coaches in the PBA, who have won a combined 34 titles and have held the coaching reins for the national team, with Cone replacing Reyes as Gilas Pilipinas’ current shot caller. “I know there’s a lot of talk about me and Tim, but I’m sure he will agree, in the end, the players are going to determine how the outcome of the series is going to be.”
With Brownlee and Hollis-Jefferson figuring in another clash of elite imports, the finals promise to be a classic one. After the two steered now-defunct Alaska to its first-ever title in the 1991 Third Conference, with Cone as head coach and Reyes as his deputy, they parted ways and carved out their own coaching paths.
