Coaches Leo Austria and Junel Baculi themselves rule out the possibility of one sweeping the other as both brace up for a complete war in the Welcoat Paints-Fash Liquid Laundry Detergent best-of-five titular showdown starting tomorrow at the Makati Coliseum.


"It’s going to be an interesting match-up but I don’t think there would be a sweep," said Baculi, who is figuring in his 11th finals appearance in the league. He has six titles under his belt

Trinidad’s offer came about in the midst of the consensus of the country’s basketball officials, led by basketball guru and CUBCC chairman Joe Lipa, on the need for a real program to boost the country’s chances in international competitions.

But even as the two respected coaches are adversaries on the court, it is a different story off the court as Baculi and Austria have joined hands and head the coaching staff of the Filipino-Indian Basketball League (FIBL) junior basketball clinic set to start on Feb. 11 at the FMAC courts, La Salle Greenhills in Ortigas.
