bit OT I have watched PBA greatest games during the post NCC era 1987-88 season were the attendance of pBA playoff games in ULTRA ha is very discouraging..

same sentiments. Instead of San Mig Coffee why not bring back name Purefoods. Parang Nawala ung na establish ni Patrimonio. Trans: oh well, promoting business as usual for SMC products to sell. just wait for PAL in PBA in the future. BGK on their back their's Gran matador logo on top of their names. i wonder what will SMC will put on BGK's back next season.

Toroman Or Olsen for Ato
Manila Bulletin – Mon, Aug 13, 2012 7:09 PM PHT
Coach Rajko Toroman of Philippines signals to his players during the basketball preliminary …
Petron Blaze is set for a coaching change with former Smart-Gilas Pilipinas Serbian coach Rajko Toroman or ex-pro Olsen Racela possibly taking over the coaching chores starting next conference.
Even after the Boosters finished their campaign in the Governors' Cup, there were already talks that coach Ato Agustin is on his way out with either Toroman or Racela taking the place of the former 1992 PBA Most Valuable Player.
A league source, however, mentioned that Petron is leaning toward Toroman, who handled the national team from September 2009 until September 2011, leading Gilas to a fourth-placed finish in the FIBA-Asia Championship in Wuhan , China .
Though he wasn't renewed by Smart to handle the Gilas II program, Toroman joined the San Miguel Corp. (SMC) as consultant of its four ball clubs, three in the PBA - Ginebra, Petron and B-Meg - and its ABL team San Miguel Beermen.
If plans push through - SMC management is expected to announce Petron's new coach this week as it prepares - just like the other teams - for the PBA Rookie Draft on Sunday where the Boosters own the No. 1 overall pick.
Meantime, Alaska, which owns the No. 2 overall pick on Sunday's PBA Rookie Draft, is looking at four possible options in the hope of further improving its roster for the 38th Season of Asia's first professional league.
The Aces' Luigi Trillo, who was appointed as full-time coach recently by Alaska management, said yesterday that they need to solidify the shooting guard and small forward positions, although it would be hard for them, he said, to pass up on available talent in the draft list.
With Petron Blaze - the team that will select first overall in the first official event of the PBA - already set to take 6-foot-10 center June Mar Fajardo, Alaska is eyeing either one of four players, guards Chris Tiu and Alex Mallari, or forwards Calvin Abueva or Cliff Hodge.
Meantime, former Alaska import Sean Chambers joined the team's first practice session yesterday at the Reyes Gym in Mandaluyong City.
The 6-foot-3 Chambers, who won several championships with Alaska in the 90s including a 'grand slam' title in 1996, arrived Sunday after he agreed to be part of the team's coaching staff although it's not on a full-time basis as he needs to return to Sacramento where he works as a high school principal.
"Right now we're still undecided, although we're looking at four players," said Luigi in a telephone interview yesterday with the Bulletin.
"We're actually in need of a back-up for Cyrus Baguio, but with the talent available, we're also considering of taking the best available player at the second overall pick. "We'll decide on the draft day itself," added Trillo.
It's at the off-guard position that the Aces' need to solidify, hoping to upgrade on the three-man rotation of Baguio , Bon-Bon Custodio and Brandon Cablay. Top point guard LA Tenorio has RJ Jazul as back-up, while the frontline is already loaded with Sonny Thoss, Tony Dela Cruz, Mac Baracael, Gabby Espinas, and Sam Eman.

Phoenix was knocking at PBA's door not long ago. PBA should allow competition of the same products. Besides corporate war generates interest. Remember Swift and Purefoods Hotdogs during the mid 90's? For a while they were fierce rivals back then.

but if i am not mistaken after some time .... the PBA decided that each company alternates on who carries their hotdog brand while the other team carries another brand of another product line. then the other team gets his turn to be a hotdog then the other team is another product line of the company of the other team.

When will we see San Miguel, Purefoods and Brgy. Ginebra (rumor/confirmed: They'll change to Ginebra-San Miguel) names again?

Rumours:
Japeth to Alaska for the Number 2 pick? (he is asking, normally if he asked, most of the time it happens)
and Mark Barroca will be a Gin King. (based on his tweet - but not sure)

I think ALASKA should stick with their #2 pick. Either Hodge or Abueva would make the team more formidable than Japeth's presence. Then, if they get to pick in the later round, they should get a shooter in the form of JR Cawaling.

Yup, a team that legitimately can go bigs because of what's available on that front court. i am more intrigued of this possibility compared to the Aguilar to Powerade rumor...

But would TNT bite? Black-Aguilar relationship will be very crucial on this end. As reported, Black really want him back.
