Coach Alfrancis Chua deserves credit for Ginebra turnaround, says Mark Caguioa

Alfrancis Chua lost his first four games as coach of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, earning him a lot of criticism from fans of the league’s most popular team.

But the Gin Kings have turned things around, winning three of their last four games, and Ginebra superstar Mark Caguioa is quick to credit the coach for the team’s recent success.

“It starts with the practice. Coach Al was a big part of our success. He gives us a lot of leeway kaya yung ibang players lumalabas yung laro nila,” said Caguioa.

Ginebra booked back-to-back victories on Sunday after winning over Talk ‘N Text, with Caguioa once again leading the way for the Gin Kings. But he had plenty of support, with import Vernon Macklin scoring 24 points and LA Tenorio adding 20.

The role players have also stepped up. Against San Mig Coffee last Sunday, Billy Mamaril scored 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting from the field. Versus Talk ‘N Text, Chris Ellis scored all seven of his points in the fourth quarter, and grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds.

Chua, however, was quick to deflect credit to his players.

“Pino-prove lang ng mga players ng Ginebra na kaya pa naming manalo,” said Chua.
