Tenorio hopes to have face-to-face talk with Cone after first PBA coaching duel
Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone expressed his desire to move past their opening day loss to LA Tenorio and Magnolia in the PBA's 50th season.
Cone acknowledged LA Tenorio, now a Magnolia coach, who led his team to an 80-73 victory over Ginebra.
Cone cited Ginebra's 21 turnovers and insufficient defensive effort as reasons for the loss, despite Stephen Holt's 16 points and 17 rebounds.
Scottie Thompson was scoreless in the game.
Tenorio, who recently transitioned from playing for Ginebra to coaching Magnolia, hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with Cone.
Tenorio's coaching appointment came as a surprise after concluding his 18th playing season with Ginebra.
