The NLEX Road Warriors have kick-started the process of fortifying their team lineup by hiring the multi-titled Siot Tanquingcen as an assistant coach for the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. Apart from strengthening the coaching team, it brings back together Tanquingcen and head coach Jong Uichico who have already tested the combination and emerged successful, winning four PBA championships in 2000.

Tanquingcen’s addition was celebrated in a statement from the Road Warriors’ management on social media, where they expressed excitement about reuniting the legendary tandem: “After two one one years, LA asks Jong Uichico will back coaching Siot Tanquingcen as a part of NLEX Road Warriors’ new assistant coach. The NLEX Road Warriors are set for the PBA Commissioner’s Cup with this legendary duo back together on the bench. It also comes as good news for the fans of NLEX as the team enters the Commissioner’s Cup with high hopes.

Siot Tanquingcen’s Proven Track Record

Siot Tanquingcen has a magnificent career as a basketball coach. He started as assistant to Uichico at San Miguel Beermen in which they won three PBA championships before Tanquingcen personally coached his team. The said year, Tanquingcen became the head coach and led his new team the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel to victories in the 2004 Fiesta Conference and the 2004/05 Philippine Cup. He also came back to coach San Miguel and he won the 2009 Fiesta Conference to beef up his resume.

These achievements sealed Tanquingcen’s place in PBA history – the 2004/05 season saw his awarding of the much coveted PBA Coach of the Year trophy. As a player, Tanquingcen has spent more than 20 seasons in this league; now, he is especially valued for his tactical vision, captain skills, and the gift of speaking with his players — skills that the NLEX wants to bring into its coaching staff and players’ team.

Reuniting with Jong Uichico: A Winning Formula

Letting Tanquingcen and Uichico join the Road Warriors again is a strategy that the management of the team knows fully well. The two have a good record, which includes achievements that cover various franchises of titles. This friendship they built during their SAN Miguel team is now a bond of respect that the Road Warriors are longing to see will give them the energy to win against their foes. Both of these coaches have had a feel of the pressure that comes with handling teams during high-risk matches, competition, and the general roller coaster experience of PBA tournament season.

When paired with the team, which has seen multiple championships through his tutelage, NLEX’s improvement under Uichico has been gradual. The team sailed to the quarterfinals of the Governor’s Cup but lost to reigning champions TNT Tropang Giga. With Tanquingcen now aboard, NLEX is in a much better place to step up its recent gains and perform more competitively in the playoffs in the Commissioner’s Cup.

Balancing Roles: UAAP and the Road Warriors

Besides joining NLEX, Tanquingcen is also an assistant coach for the National University’s basketball team in the UAAP. He is well reputed to be flexible and dedicated and as such, he should smoothly adjust to the expectations of his two roles. He is over a decade younger, with an active association with the NU Bulldogs, so he has the feel from collegiate basketball where he starts teaching young players and employing strategies that would add a new dimension at NLEX.

The coaching experience that must be understood in Tanquingcen’s case is the one that will make him rehearse the players’ technique and orchestrate the NLEX committal using suitable interdependent plans. The fact that he is able to handle several coaching assignments at the same time testifies to his passion for basketball and willingness to share knowledge with would-be coaches in the different Philippine basketball hierarchies.

NLEX’s Outlook for the Commissioner’s Cup

What was once a new contender in the PBA, the NLEX Road Warriors struggled in the recent seasons and have not made it into the semis since the 2021 Governor’s Cup. Thus, Tanquingcen may be a real addition, particularly when the team gets even more experienced and polishes its tactics. Despite his familiarity with the league and reputation as one of the most successful PBA coaches, Tanquingcen will add a sense of new tactical ideas to help NLEX get back on top.

The coming Commissioner’s Cup will be a good challenge for the Road Warriors. Despite the competition, in which opponents have crafted numerous defensive strategies, Tanquingcen offers successful tips on defensive preparations, play, and transition to the opponent’s style of play. His experience in intense situations for the team will also come in handy as the Road Warriors try to manage games that are decisive for their standings in the playoffs.
