Memorable Quotes by PBA Coaches

Here is a collection of memorable quotations coming from PBA coaches heard during games, time-outs and interviews.


"ganito, laglag natin kay alvin(patrimonio)...tapos alvin pagtanggap mo bahala ka na!!!"


-Eric Altamirano... heard during a PF's crucial time-out. Actually, anyone coaching ALVIN, from Chot Reyes to Eric to Ryan Gregorio would have the same instructions on ALVIN during dying seconds of a game.

============================================


Uichico: "Ah, Danny.. Danny.."

Caguioa & Helterbrand: (trying hard not to laugh)


Uichico: "ehem.. ah.. Andy, Andy, halika dito.."
-heard from Jong Uichico at the huddle during the 2007 Philippine Cup Finals between SMB and GINEBRA. That was the first Finals appearance of Jong as an GINEBRA coach. He used to coach SMB for a long time before the management transferred him to GINEBRA.
============================================

"Ano ka ba Nino? Dakdakan mo yang mga ungas na yan!! Si Canaleta ka!!"
-National Coach CHOT REYES reprimanding KG Canaleta after the latter opted to pass the ball rather finish a fast break that resulted to a turnover in last year's JONES CUP.

=============================================


Here is the main course: From the LIVING LEGEND... my most hated PBA Coach... Here are some of his famous/infamous one-liner during his PBA coaching days:

JAWO

"Second placer is better than 3rd and 4th"

1996 Governor's Cup Alaska vs Ginebra. Sour Graping has always been his favorite excuse when losing.

=============
"This is you.This is you.This is you."

-heard during a time-out at the huddle while making a play diagram

=============

and my most favorite quotation from SONNY JAWORSKI:

"Patay na ba?"
-during the ALLAN CAIDIC accident. JAWO was caught on TV saying these morbid lines while ALLAN CAIDIC was choking to death on the parquet floors of the ARANETA. Any PBA fan knows this incident.
