What you would be reading in this blog post is based from the personal opinion of the owner of the blog which you may or may not agree with.
The man is no stranger to the PBA, he was a grandslam coach for San Miguel Beermen and has been the Tropang Texters Consultant for quite a long time. Now coming back to head coaching duties is Mr. 100% Norman Black who would be taking over the position left by multi-titled Coach Chot Reyes who would be coaching Smart Gilas 2.
What he would bring to the Talk and Text table?
His coaching experience that stemmed from the late 80s to present. We have seen it in Ateneo, his bag of tricks that enabled the Blue Eagles to win 4 straight titles in UAAP. He is able to strike out the best with his players, and probably the biggest change he would make is not the game of TNT but how fans look at TNT.
TNT had a fair-share of bashers because of their Coach Chot Reyes but with Norman in the helm I think everything would tone down.
If ever they renew Japeth Aguilar, Norman Black could definitely use Japeth as he know how he plays back in his ADMU days.
PETRON BLAZE BOOSTERS: OLSEN RACELA
Olsen returns on the hardcourt as the head man of Petron Blaze Boosters replacing Coach Ato Agustin with the management seeing the 2011 Governors Cup Champions falter during the 37th Season. Olsen is no stranger to the San Miguel/Petron franchise, he was San Miguel's high point man and team captain, learning the best basketball from Coach Ron Jacobs and Coach Jong Uichico. Prior to the head coaching job, Olsen was already behind the Petron bench as an Assistant Coach after his retirement.
With Olsen being the choice of majority of Petron players, I see that Olsen would change how the team relate to each other, that the PBB bench, though filled with star studded players are of equals. It is also expected that Olsen would run the plays he learned from his head coaches to his now players. If coaching experience is questioned, see how Energen Pilipinas U-18 and tell me if Olsen cannot make it big as a coach in the PBA.
I hope Coach Olsen can emphasize TEAM in BASKETBALL, that whatever players would be left there after PBA Draft Day, they would be able to capitalize, just as how they won the 2011 Governors Cup Finals.
We wish Coaches Olsen and Norman best of luck with their teams.
