Jong Uichico - Barangay Ginebra Head Coach

Barangay Ginebra Head Coach

On August 3, 2006, Chot Reyes was named as the new head coach of the San Miguel Beermen replacing Uichico. However, San Miguel Corporation moved Uichico to its sister team Barangay Ginebra Kings replacing Siot Tanquingcen, who was demoted as Uichico's assistant. On his first Ginebra coaching stint, he was able to win a championship in the first conference of the year's season. After a year, he won his 2nd championship with the Kings in the 2008 PBA Fiesta Conference and his 8th overall title.

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or coach:

    The mountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterly one hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. The wild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this direction will carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
    Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
    Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
    That it in open flames doth blaze?
    For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
    As they to glory ride therein.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
