The Import Ordeal: Yeng Guiao willing to give Cornley a chance - provided he clears his name

 

In an interview with INTERAKTV, Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Head Coach Yeng Guiao is open to give a chance to Jamelle Cornley to return for the third conference to help them defend the title provided that the 2012 Governor's Cup Best Import can clear his name.

Yeng Guiao in his interview is quoted "“If he can prove that he’s the victim in this case, then I will give him a chance, Or if he has apologized for the issue and can still show that he can play good basketball that could help us win another championship, then I don’t think it will affect his chances of playing again for our team.”.

 

The third conference, stated to start on August 14 is still far from the coaches mind since a lot will still be in store, especially with the ongoing campaign of Rain or Shine Elasto Painters bannered by Bruno Sundov.

 

Cornley was the import of the Elasto Painters when it won its maiden title last year. He has stayed in the country for rehab and has served as Rain or Shine's practice player helping the team especially current import Bruno Sundov.
