As the PBA’s 2024 season unfolds, the race for the coveted Coach of the Year award heats up. This accolade honors the tacticians who have outmaneuvered their counterparts in the Commissioners Cup and the ongoing Philippine Cup. Let’s spotlight the top five maestros vying for this prestigious recognition.
5. Bonnie Tan
Despite NorthPort’s current struggles, Coach Bonnie Tan has showcased his strategic prowess. His ability to navigate through the team’s deficiencies in the frontline and backcourt, leading them to a quarterfinal finish in the Commissioners Cup, is nothing short of remarkable. His leadership through adversity keeps him in the conversation for Coach of the Year.
4. Tim Cone
Coach Tim Cone, a name synonymous with success in the PBA, is not out of the race yet. With Barangay Ginebra’s rich history and Cone’s legendary status, a victory in the ongoing Philippine Cup could propel him to snatch the award once again. His experience and winning pedigree make him a perennial favorite.
3. Chito Victolero
Coach Chito Victolero has been a polarizing figure among fans, but his results speak volumes. Steering Magnolia to a top-four finish in the Philippine Cup after a Finals appearance in the Commissioners Cup is a testament to his strategic acumen. Victolero’s resilience and tactical intelligence have earned him a spot on this list.
2. Jamike Jarin
The Cinderella story of Coach Jamike Jarin and his Phoenix squad is the talk of the league. Leading a roster not touted among the top eight in talent to the semifinals in the Commissioners Cup is a feat that showcases Jarin’s coaching brilliance. His unconventional approach and ability to inspire his team have made him a strong contender for the top honor.
1. George Gallent
At the pinnacle stands Coach George Gallent, whose triumph in the Commissioners Cup and an undefeated streak in the Philippine Cup have been nothing short of sensational. Gallent’s strategic ingenuity and the San Miguel Beermen’s dominance under his guidance have been akin to a maestro conducting a symphony. His ability to maximize his roster’s potential and adapt to the challenges has made him the frontrunner for Coach of the Year.
