“I think the best way I can serve the team is try to be myself because I’ve been with these players for a long time and we’ve developed a good relationship so I did not need to pretend.” Although he had large shoes to fill as Cone holds the distinction as the winningest coach in PBA history, Del Rosario said he was simply relishing the chance entrusted to him by the Gin Kings management.

“I just have to remind myself, I’m living my dream. From a player who did not have much skills, now I’m coaching in the PBA and I’m coaching Ginebra, of all teams,” said Del Rosario.“I will not let pressure ruin that. I’m just going to enjoy the moment and be thankful because not everyone is given this kind of opportunity.”

Del Rosario has three more games to coach before Cone returns, with Ginebra facing Terrafirma next on July 6 at the Araneta Coliseum.Delfin Dioquino dreamt of being a PBA player, but he did not have the skills to make it.
