THE management of Talk N’ Text announced Monday
that it will not renew coach Deric Pumaren’s contract which will
expire next month.
Ricky Vargas said Pumaren will be
replaced by national coach Chot Reyes, who shares in the Phone
Pals’ vision of combining a high-performance culture with the
team’s strong talent base.
Pumaren brought the Phone
Pals to finals once and a respectable third-place finish during
his four-conference stint.
“Coach Deric is the
epitome of a real professional and a gentleman. We truly regret to
have parted ways for he is a good man. We all wish him the best of
luck,” Vargas added.
Team manager Frankie Lim,
for his part, said: “We all look forward to working with coach
Chot in the coming PBA seasons.”
