Nagpaalam muna kay Chot Reyes si Tim Cone bago nito tinanggap ang pagiging coach ng Gilas Pilipinas na sasabak sa Asian Games sa China.
Ito ang inamin ni Reyes sa panayam sa kanya ng programang Power and Play ni Noli Eala.
Inamin ni Reyes na kinumbinsi rin niya si Cone na tanggapin ang trabaho dahil naniniwala siya na akma ito sa naturang trabaho.
“I was the No. 1 person convincing him to take the job, telling everybody in the SBP in the PBA that the best man for the job is Tim,” anang dating head coach ng Gilas Pilipinas.
“I’m very glad that Tim has relented and changed his mind and accepted it. Now I think we put ourselves in good position to really do well in the Asian games,” pahabol pa ni Reyes.
