Sauler's role with Ginebra 'tricky', says UAAP board member

MANILA -- National University (NU) representative to the UAAP board Junel Baculi said league rules state that all their basketball head coaches are not allowed to coach full-time in any professional league, particularly the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Baculi revealed the ruling when told about the recent situation of Barangay Ginebra where assistant coach Juno Sauler who was seen holding the game board during timeouts and was the one devising plays during their first two games in the ongoing PBA Commissioner’s Cup.

“Nasa rules namin ito even sa players. Hindi ka pwedeng mag-head coach sa UAAP kung ikaw ay head coach na ng PBA,” said Baculi.

Sauler is currently the head coach of the De La Salle University (DLSU) who during his rookie season last year led the Green Archers to the UAAP title.

When told about Sauler’s actions with Ginebra, Baculi said it is actually still part of an assistant coach’s job description.

“Huwag lang talaga yung whole game na siya yung nagpapasok ng tao. Siya yung humihingi ng timeout. Pag ginawa niya sa ginebra yun, then may problema,” said Baculi.

Baculi disclosed that even while the UAAP basketball tournament is on a break, their head coaches are still barred to work full-time in the PBA or even on an interim capacity.

“Basta whole season ng UAAP, hindi pwedeng mag-head coach ang UAAP coach sa PBA. Assistant coach sa PBA pwede pa yun,” added Baculi.

Moments after their 108-104 overtime victory over Barako Bull last March 7, Ginebra head coach Ato Agustin admitted that they are now introducing the system of Sauler and that the youthful coach will be devising plays in their upcoming games.

“Nag-iba yung mga plays, kay coach Juno. Lahat naman, collective, lahat ng coaches nagtutulong-tulong. Right now. Lahat yung mga ideas. We’re trying to change all, yung plays na ginawa namin last conference,” said Agustin.

When told about Agustin’s “revelation”, Baculi says that may be a reason for the UAAP board to discuss the issue.

“Medyo tricky na yung situation kung ganun. Siguro pag-uusapan na ng UAAP board yan kung ganon talaga,” said Baculi.

Eto lang masasabi ko dyan, basta MAGULO ang coaching staff ng Ginebra at hindi mo alam anong SISTEMA meron sila.

kapag magulo ang coaching staff, wag munang umasa na makakapag champion ang ginebra .............

[ampogi]

wala na lang kayang coach, kanya kanya na lang kaya? nakakasawa na ang issues tungkol sa coaching, hindi man lang binibigyan ng pansin ng management ang clamor ng mga fans....ayaw ata nila mag champion ang ginebra.....mag playing coach na lang si Mark Caguioa, baka may marating pa tayo...

[betterhalf]

sobrang tricky gumulo na hahaha

[ampogi]

ano ba ang hinaharap ng ginebra ngayong talo na naman sa San Mig? Hndi kayang dalhin ni Rodgers ang team sa championship, better bring in a replacement...we are in a very precarious situation at 1-2, one round lang ang conference na ito and we only have 6 more games to go. hindi pa nakakaharap ang TNT, Alaska, Rain or Shine at Meralco...e e, after those four games, baka 1-6 na tayo...I am just being realistic po mga kabs...
