Veteran Chris Ross may have added a title across his name as San Miguel Beer's assistant playing coach, but team manager Gee Abanilla said the Filipino-American guard has been serving that role unofficially as the Beermen coaching staff's 'extension' on the courtAbanilla in fact, took note of the 38-year-old Ross' wealth of wisdom, which he generously imparts to the younger players.
'He doesn't give up and just finds ways to get out of a tight or bad situation,' stressed Abanilla. 'His competitiveness is infectious and you definitely want someone like him in your team.'Ross saw his playing time drastically come down to just 20.8 minutes last season from a high of 32.5 in the 2021 season, due to injury.Still, Ross remains a threat with his veteran smarts and leadership, which Abanilla validates.
