Coach Ato Agustin was moved back to SMB but as an assistant coach again, Assistant coach Art Dela Cruz will also be moved to Barako bull energy alongside with Coach Siot Tangquincen (Which is now the head coach of the Barako Bull replacing Bong Ramos). While Coach Juno, Allan Caidic and Abuda will now focus more on DLSU.
Also reportedly Cariaso and Racela will ought to bring the triangle offense at ginebra and will replace the old Run & Gun.
Now the Question is will Ginebra strive in the triangle? are they going to be like the San Mig Coffee Mixers which perfected the triangle?
My answer will be yes, Ginebra got the pieces for the triangle but it's going to be a different style of triangle because it is Cariaso who will be the one teaching it not the original maestro: Tim Cone.
Why Do I say Ginebra got the pieces for the triangle to work? because first and foremost they got LA Tenorio which back then was a former point guard of Tim Cone during his stint in alaska.
So when we are talking about familiarity of the Triangle, I guess LA still remembers a thing or two about the offense. secondly Ginebra got Greg Slaughter and Japeth Aguilar who will be the focal point of the offense. The coaching staffs just need to teach the two bigmen on their court vision like Marc Pingris and JDV which are great passers even at the post.
But (Yes there is a 'But') there will also be guys who will have a hard time on adjusting on the new system. And those are: Mark Caguioa and JJ Helterbrand.
Why?
Because in their entire career in Ginebra those two played the old Run & Gun system which is the perfect system for those two and which brought back-to-back championship in the 2004-2005 Philippine Cup and Fiesta Conference. They even got their monicker because of that system, "The fast" and "The Furious".
Now with their old age how would they cope up with the big changes? Now it's going to be a problem for them and the coaching staff but I'm sure they'll find a way to fix it.
With the impending changes on the coaching staffs and system, Fans have just one thing in mind and that is just to reclaim the throne and end the 8-year title drought for their beloved team.
In My case I think ginebra will be just fine with the new system and new coaches but I hope this would be the last changes in ginebra for a long time. Just like I said Everything needs time to be perfected. So I hope Cariaso and company won't be changed immediately when their run falls short this govs cup, I hope the Corporation would give them at least 2 seasons to fix things up for ginebra because I see a good future in ginebra with these staffs and also with the system.
"Good things come for those who know how to wait"
